Sad, furious, frightened....
Overcome what?
This is a normal low standard in politics.
Until we know who we are, and what truly satisfies us, we are lost.
Cycles of conflict, inhumanity, continue in the meantime.
In these divisive days, too many wholesome energies are twisted to harm.
We could overcome, one day ❤️.
