A case for meditation

 

Journaling, therapy…

Our out-of-control country’s trajectory collided with out-of-control technology rise/flood, and now we are addicted to our screens at the same time injustices and inequalities are systemic and the status quo is maintained by the powerful gaslighting the masses.  Our screens are exposing the horrors of the world, a pipeline feeding directly into our brains, spewing junk and truth alike, at a pace we’re incapable of processing.  It’s become nearly impossible to get away and find peace of mind, clear thought.  It is enough to make anyone go crazy and though journaling and therapy can help some (meditation and exercise are probably better at this point), the reality is that our humanity is teetering.  Our souls are being stretched thin, our way of life becoming more at odds with the planet.  The reality is that currently, during my life time, right now! is a pivotal part in human history, for better or worse.  We can feel that change in the air.  And it is important to breathe, and to notice, and to accept reality, accept change.
