When the going gets tough, the tough get going. This is regardless of how “tough” or strong we do or do not feel. These are unprecedented times, certainly in our lifetimes. We will get through this, with some loss and a bit shaken. But we will get through this. As with most sufferings, endurance and calmness of mind breeds character. We definitely need this, particularly on the national levels throughout the world. Even when our leaders are incapable of proper leadership, other city and state leaders are coming forward. This is our human resilience and innovation. Hunker down, stay well. Send calming, loving, healing energy to all our brothers and sisters, including yourselves, around the world. This is a time of unity. Do what you can to help others, even as aspiration.
