3. Power to the people is in the universal energy. The old order is disintegrating, don't get stuck in their demise.

It is their demise, not yours.

Do what you can to raise your consciousness. Spend time with yourself to connect with your brighter light. Connect with those who encourage you to lift your self up. Be and do good which means do no harm. Practice Benevolence and Compassion in every moment of your life.

It’s okay to keep one toe dipped in the muck and mire as long as the rest of you is on stable ground. And if the one toe in the deranged world gets to be too much, take it out and return to your whole self.

Thank you highplainsdem for reminding us to stay centered.
