I will find a way. ~Beth Crowley

We fear what we do not understand.

We cannot comprehend the fact that poverty is relative, my bank balance might be more than your income. That does not mean I am privileged! In the news today, international, and local. What is happening? It is obvious that we have not bounced back from the lockdown. No-one has. Every single act of violence has angered the creator.

Small sacrifice: I stopped watching the horror stories, the corrupted schemes, the disturbed and the weather channel. I will become a gamer! Except for the fact that the PlayStation is gone, along with the X-box. Time to play online, where I'm sure I will die in a plane. Calculus on a day like this? Respect the air traffic controllers, it's a "killer" job. No joke, it will kill you, or drive you to unusual behaviour.

This invisible woman better find a friend called Elon. Next stop: Mars!

In a world gone mad, how do we survive? Work! Or work at becoming better?

Back to lust. One of the deadly sins. I believe if you are blessed with beauty, brains, and a silk purse, count your blessings.

Not everyone is, still it did not stop them from reaching tremendous heights. That was then... This is now! I know what I can do - it does not mean I should. It does not even mean that I am not doing it. My world of funny time - gain an hour, lose two, show up tomorrow for what started 3 months ago. Living life as a double agent?

Main discussion for the day: Poverty and procrastination

How much does your net worth reflect on you as a person? Does it give you a warm, fuzzy feeling? Mine does not, but then again, I am obviously not sitting on nine digits.

For me, "my poverty" is real. I have interests, not stocks. Yet this interest is leading to procrastination, indecision, and soon all my conversations are going to turn into arguments. The muse has glanced my way, those I support have turned their gaze. Hiding in the spotlight, avoiding being traced.

Sounding like a paranoid schizophrenic. See --> THIS is procrastination.

Not wanting to engage. Not wanting anything at all. A phone call would be nice. One message of support from a dear friend.

Avoiding the big issue. Why reason/ validate/ engage? It's important to communicate, explanations are crucial, it is all about context.

The rules of public speaking:

Deliver your message, do so powerfully. Be concise. Summarize. Show gratitude. Mute microphone. (Just realized I'm typing this on the fly, no sticky notes, no bullet points - so I'm guessing this is a lesson?)

No, this is my placemat, a window. A glimpse into my world.

I make promises, some are kept. Others have been deprioritized, not forgotten. Life is organic, it changes, it learns. Will artificial intelligence replace us? If we can teach love instead of history. Not that we as humans learned from the past, so how do we teach what we do not practice?

Anyone? This is a serious question.

Sometimes, not often, but often enough we must believe in the big picture. In humankind. In something we can feel. In love. What eludes me is what I hold on too. Not the ideal, just the idea.

Inspired by the elements. Looking up at the same sky. A storm is brewing. Somewhere. The heavens are screaming. Listen.

As always, with love and hope,

"Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate but powerful beyond belief." Yes, we fear what we do not understand.
