DISORIENTED

I only now realized I had not written a blog post for over a month, an unusually long time for me.  The reason I guess is that I feel disoriented, unhinged, from watching too much external news about matters I care about and somehow cannot fix.  The painting here by Edvard Munch, "The Scream" says it all. This is a time of disorientation and confusion for many people, not only in this country but throughout the world. But this is also a time for unity. Not since the pandemic, announced almost five years ago today, was the world so riveted on one set of circumstances. Then it was the newly arrived disease we were calling the Corona Virus, now known as Covid. Now it is the political upheavals we are feeling in this country and subsequently all over the world, including Europe and the MIddle East, countries that rely on the USAID program, and others. Soon I will post some stress exercises to remind my followers that taking care of themselves. is the best thing they can do for themselves and for the world at large. But tonight I just wanted to check in and say hi, comment on how disoriented I feel, and then sign off again.
