Yes, I'm still here. I've temporarily (I hope) lost my enthusiasm for most everything these days. Bored and Boring.
I'm trying to pinpoint what exactly is wrong with me. Seeing the gall of this administration working to stifle all dissent in our country has me frightened and mad. I don't understand how my fellow Americans can just sit by and watch it happen.
I am so afraid that the US is becoming a fascist theocracy. This fear has evolved into unresolved anger. That is never good.
A friend read the following quote while reading a book by Amy Goodman called "The Exception to the Rulers".
"Another world is not only possible, she's on her way. Maybe many of us won't be here to greet her, but on a quiet day, if I listen carefully, I can hear her breathing."
-Arundhati Roy.
So for the moment I will concentrate on those words.
I expect that most of you won't understand what I am talking about, but maybe those of you who do, can concentrate with me.
