From my journal:<\/p>\n
Headache. Tired. Sad.\u00a0 <\/span>Slept late.\u00a0 <\/span>I\u2019m disappointed with myself for feeling sad again, and then I realize that it\u2019s sadness for all the people who are scared and suffering right now.<\/p>\n I look at the pictures of my great-nieces and nephews on the fridge and I think \u2014 they will live through this, and they will be part of the new generation of global citizens who will change everything.\u00a0 <\/span>Sooner, if we manage to take back the government and pass a Green New Deal<\/a>, later if the Republicans hang on for another four years.\u00a0 <\/span>I don\u2019t think they can hold on past that.\u00a0 <\/span>Those old white men will die, and the paradigm will shift.\u00a0 <\/span>If we have four more years of Trump\u2019s idiocy, things will get much worse before they get better.\u00a0 <\/span>Of course, it\u2019s always possible that we will kill the planet. \u00a0It wouldn’t be an initiation if we knew we were going to survive.<\/p>\n Then I have a sudden vision of all that\u2019s going on that we don\u2019t know about.\u00a0 <\/span>All the invisible spirits and forces that are also making things happen. \u00a0All the butterflies flapping wings in Africa and Uzbekistan. \u00a0Nature regenerating faster<\/a> than we ever could imagine once we changed our behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From my journal: Headache.
