Thank you for articulating so well the pain and agony of knowing this man will have so much power and potentially endanger the entire world. At first, I was so angry at the results because we had constantly been told it was such a close race and then it wasn’t. Some of my US friends are saying it was tampered with by Putin‘s gang, but I haven’t seen that much in the news. I’m very sad to hear that even of the events you described of Trump and attacking and slurring Black people and women I can understand you cocooning right now regroup rethink. How do we fight this or can we even? But I do think that our hearts lie within and it is within where we find our power as you already know.

Thanks, Pen. I am concerned about potential cheating, too, especially when I hear about all the swing state Dem voters whose votes have not yet been logged in the system—and when you look at all the down-ballot Dems who won in states where the top of the ticket went red, it doesn't add up. But I am not going to put one moment of my time into agitating for a recount or watching for it to come. For one thing, I haven't got the emotional bandwidth for it. Secondly, that is literally a conspiracy theory, and I'm not going to buy into it—if there's valid cause for concern, I have to trust that state election officials will follow it up. (And if they are too toothless or corrupt to enforce the laws of the land, then my personal outrage and anguish can't save us.)

Found you from the link you left in the Wilder Community. I’m so glad I wondered over here. We are in the same boat and have similar thoughts. I look forward to reading more of your work and maybe we can be a support for each other. ❤️

I don't know if you managed to get to Aunties funeral online, but basically she went out dancing. She had a lot of love and positivity that she spread where ever she was, so this is her legacy we need to grow. Life is for living, every day might be our last. Let's live everyday with happiness and love for all around us.

I felt sick when we received the news, but the main thing is to keep love in our hearts and try to get others to hold that love in their hearts too, because what is given out comes back.. The karmic rule. Love breeds love, fear breeds fear, hate breeds hate. Turn hate and darkness into love and light, and protect our own during these troubled times. We're entering the Age of Aquarius, and time of the common people coming together. As you say, stability before mobility, but also what is in our hearts protects us from what is out there. Be strong, and keep dancing. xxx
