If you spend time investigating any of the strange and even disturbing elements of our present global reality, it’s easy to become disheartened or even anxious or desperate.  It’s not uncommon to feel this way and if you have, you’re not alone. 

Be a spiritual warrior: stay strong, stay wise, stay grounded.  Be aware but not afraid.  Know, but be at peace.  Teach, yet be gentle.  Remember, the future has already happened: it is done, and the good have won.  A better world is already waiting for us.  We just need to keep walking towards it.  As Lao Tzu wisely suggested, “accomplish the great task by a series of small acts.”
