Take Care of Yourself

Take Care of Yourself

I’ve been feeling stuck about many things, including how to respond to the world’s nonstop saga of suffering: the ongoing carnage in the Middle East, the endless episodes of mass killings in the United States and around the world, the racism deep in the DNA of my native land, or collective blind eye to radical economic injustice and climate change, and the grotesque parade of grandstanding political “leaders” who bloviate about God and prayer while doing squat about gun violence and other evils. . . . we all live at the intersection of our small worlds and the big one around us.
