((AVID)) !!!!! I hope you are feeling better soon. I have been in that horrid place yes, yes ~ of course and why not? When you know "too much" it is such a burden at first...
...but time passes and look, you are still here. You are gardening! (I am jealous) I hope you are talking to your plants; they are alive and so so so wise, aren't they? Yes, we are on this beautiful earth, still here and there you are planting and breathing... you see, this life is still here and precious today. All any of us ever has is this moment.
One thing that has helped me in the past has been to listen to uplifting, beautiful music. Earth sounds, chanting; whatever stops you from thinking. Our minds get too busy and chatter chatter chatter until we are just all wound up. Sometimes we have to just stop thinking and simply be. It helps to be while handling plants ~ that is a powerful way to connect to higher energies!
Consider yourself hugged, Avid and be cheered! There is much good in the world. There are good hearts beating across the globe. There are concerned minds focused on a better tomorrow. Many many many people want peace. Who knows what will happen, and yes there could always be a reign of chaos happening quickly, but even then it would be helpful to have a wealth of positive 'yesterdays' to strengthen us during such a time.
So today as I look around at all the miracles manifested right here before my eyes... I am filled with peace ~ and when tomorrow comes, whatever that may bring, I will be stronger because of this moment now.
I'm all for storing some cans in the cupboard; I am even more interested in becoming more self-sufficient ~ and not just as individuals but as communities. There may be a lot of 'sleepwalking' people but there are also a LOT of people coming together with sustainable living projects, community farms and so on. Reaching out to one another, offering comfort, sharing resources; this is what will help us to not only survive but to THRIVE with a new way of life where greed is no longer the ruling factor of EVERYTHING.
(whew!)
