I just talked to a Mexican friend who is a student at a university in the USA. He’s afraid to leave campus for fear of being detained despite being here legally. There are reports that ICE is already here in Dover and documentation doesn’t seem to matter. I can’t imagine… Lord, have mercy!

Rereading Don Miguel Ruiz’s The Four Agreements and was struck by this:
“To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive – the risk to be alive and express what we really are. Just being ourselves is the biggest fear…”
