In life's dance, we need space to breathe,

To gather the peace that moments bequeath.

A little time off, a gentle reprieve,

To dream, to heal, to simply believe...

This is a great time in this course of my life, to find the "present moment awareness door". In doing so, I am mostly able to separate this monsters "weave" of crap he's been deluging us for years with. Even a simple moment of focused, steady deep breathing might be a helpful tool in your kit as well. By default, each and every one of us has the backs of the others, some perhaps less resilient, in some way, or another. This is the largest, most motivated and concentrated group of Americans to ever participate in such a massive undertaking. See the day in your mind's eye when trump is but a passing memory. Time ! I know, I know. Breathe. Deeply, Repeat as needed.

Well said my fellow Shipmate.

Your comment made me think back to some advice I got from my 1st CPO when I was an Ensign; "Always remember the mission" and "Never trade your troubles for anothers because at the end of the day, there are people in the world that are worse off than you no matter how bleak your troubles may appear to you today."

"See the day in your mind's eye when trump is but a passing memory. " The time will come, of course. But we need to minimize the damages and keep the ship floating. We can constantly raise voices against his policies.
