It's hard to escape it sometimes, it's everywhere you look, to the left of center, to the right, in every direction. it's there, no matter where you try to shift your attention, It's staring you right in the face. The insanity that has become a part of our daily reality, you try to focus on something positive, but the more you try, the more it becomes less likely that you will somehow make sense of it all. It's everywhere you look, it's there to hit you in the face as soon as you step outside of your front door, and no matter how fast you walk, run or ride, it's inescapable.
The price of gasoline, the price of food, of housing, it feels like you can't breathe sometimes, when you begin to feel like everything that you thought you were in control of is starting to slip through your fingers and from your grasp, like you're clutching at sand. Stop, lean forward, rest your hands on your knee's and breathe in through your nose and out of your mouth, there that's it, now step back away from the lunacy, set the weight down, don't worry it'll still be there when you come back to it. There now, close your eyes, take a deep breath, good, open your eyes and take a good look around you, and don't forget to take stock of the situation, see for us? here in the trenches? it isn't about control, we never had it, for us? it's about weathering yet another storm. So, we're going to deal with it and hope, and maybe even pray, it's going to get better, because it has too.
