“These are the times that try men's souls” is a line from Thomas Paine's pamphlet The American Crisis, published in December 1776.
Paine spoke out against the Tyranny of England. We must now speak out against the would be king and his puppet masters here at home.

“Stay Woke. Keep your eyes open.” Sung by Lead Belly beginning of last century.
These words are still true, perhaps especially true, today.
Don’t be fools by the bread and circuses. Too many have stood too quiet for too long. I have myself. Now I use my privilege to speak out.

The moon turns again from the fullness of light and pressure is relieved by the day. Yet soon enough it will wax once more and those who feel its pull will be pushed again to the brink.
When you see a child act out every time the moon is full, believing in lunacy as a condition, becomes real.

What will it take to make people see the lies? Who can be trusted? And who is free to speak truth to power?
How many will have to die? How poor do you have to be? How many pie in the sky dreams must fail?
I’d say the answer is blowing in the wind, but that is a never ending cycle.

A powerful phrase that can alter your thoughts whenever you are out of balance. It is double edged but if you use it correctly magic happens.
Bad- this will end and brighter days are ahead.
Good- bask in the joy, live in the now, it will end too soon.

4 years. Many things can happen in 4 years. We can huddle in depression and despair what if ourselves to death. Or we can stand strong in our truth, come together, and shine a light on all the lies.
Do not go gently into the lying night, rage, rage, and don’t give up the fight.

“No energy vampires on the bus” quote from the Energy Bus.
There are people in our live that suck the energy out of you. This can be true in families, groups, or at work. For me, they are at work. Always undermine what I am doing. Time to stop letting them take my energy away.

Music. The creation of something new. Variation on a theme. Letting go of what it should sound like and enjoying what it is.

When I am low and depressed. When the world is too much to bear. When I need to slip away and find my center. Music brings me joy.

If you are a competitive soul and you remove all competition from your life, who do you compete with?
Competition isn’t good or bad but can be both. A healthy outlet can reduce stress but no outlet can build like a need not being met. Listen to your mind and body, find balance.
