This has felt appropriate this year…

“Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower

Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn

Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting

Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate

Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down

Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh

This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear

A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies

Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline

… It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)

It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

I feel fine (I feel fine)”

-R.E.M. “It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)”

Thank you Jordan. This article brought me peace this morning, reminded me of truths I know and gave me a purpose I was searching for. I appreciate you. You’re exactly right. It Will be okay.

Thank you for this. All day I’ve been harboring an increasing weight of recognizing part of what you’ve just written—no matter the outcome of this election, heated, outrage will intensify, not diminish.

Being a peacemaker has been a personal goal for awhile but…how?

“How can I help?” I love that. I can do that.

We all can do that.

I'm just loving the memes that we have gotten and will continue to get.
