Something Borrowed

My grandmother often advised "no need to borrow trouble." My grandmother-in-law warned "you don't need to look for trouble because it will find you," which seems a better fit with my own experience with actively soliciting trouble, Disempowering investments purchased at lowest ego-cost for discounted risky value, or borrowed, when too broke to buy and too disempowered to even hope for owning what cannot be virtuously purchased, free of trouble, cooperatively empowered-- like healthy relationships and resonant communications and bicameral political well-being. I hope it is also true, as I might share with my grandchild, "you need not hope to individually own or merely borrow any discounted empowerment, because positive powers will find you." With the current national Republican leadership borrowing and purchasing, heavily investing in political neglect of public health care, mental health care, personal and public bicameral imbalance, climate fragility dissonant across all divided hemispheres, The troubling opposite of restorative peace and justice, new green economic and ecological win/win strategies for global energy democracy and beauty, for nutritional resonance and resilience, I might at least hope future generations, including my grandchild, look in a wealthier more ego/ecotherapeutic direction for borrowing and cooperatively investing in co-empowerment.
