A New Kind of Bliss
Today was a relief, taking the step to send thank you cards to those on the front lines
It is so easy to be at home feeling a sense of powerlessness to help with all this
But the sun came out today and as bright as it shines,
Brought a new kind of action and a new kind of bliss!

Ignorance
In darkness, the mind comes short
Gullible to any item offered, and
Not an excuse for self underdevelopment
Obnoxious in the gathering of knowledge
Rationality greatly fractured and invalid

Attempting to extinguish my spark.
I can remember that their animosity
In the end, will destroy them,
Not me....

Perceptions
Judgments based on one's perception.

The World is Glorious
The World is miserable

The sky is grey
Earth is transitioning

The mirror reflects empowerment
The mirror reflects powerlessness
What you perceive
is what you believe
An image of your world is beliefs
Change your beliefs
Change your world
