Thank you, Rick. What an odd time to be alive. A current of rage is the undertow of my peaceful river. I am quite vexed that I survived countless personal battles to discover the world outside of me is on fire. The only weapons I have are Truth, Peace, and Love. And a whole lot of snark. And some new friends, which I needed desperately. I’m leaning in towards all forms of art, especially poetry, fiction, and music. After weed, live music is my medicine of choice. (BTW, when’s the last time you’ve heard “Mama Tried”?) Last night I heard a song about friendship called “DECLARATION OF INTERDEPENDENCE”. If I can find a recording I will share. ✨🙏🌹🕊️🦋🏵️💫

So, what’s the solution? The goddamn world is on fire because of one evil man. It seems like out of the whole world, SOMEONE could stop him.

A question if this is really the start of WW3 or “just” another 20+ yrs skirmish cuz most countries won’t be fighting with us. Whatever, it will deplete our treasure immeasurably, including our sons and daughters.

When this is over, no one will trust the United States again for a very long time. What’s happening in Tehran as we speak is making me physically ill.

Smarter people than me have referred to Trump's condition as a poisonous soup of frontotemporal dementia and malignant narcissistic collapse. All his behavior is disinhibited and becomes more extreme and attacking outward (Alzheimer's causes shrinkage and withdrawal), and he's terrified of having to face his own toxic id so he'll do anything to distract and disrupt this inevitability. He's going mad and the destruction of the wellbeing of the world is the collateral damage.

I'm crying now, I am so afraid you're right.
