A Poem…

Everything hurts.

It’s a hard time to be alive,

And even harder to stay that way.

We’re burdened to live out these days,

While at the same time, blessed to outlive them.

                Amanda Gorman, Poet for the Biden Inauguration, 2020 

The poem no doubt resonates with the younger population but also brings a sense of pause to those of us who have lived through other trying times – like the Vietnam War and the accompanying civil unrest that created upheaval across society. We seem to be in similar times… 

To Lighten The Load – If the springtime weather, sprouting of plant life and seemingly increased flexibility of living have not yet lightened your load, may I suggest that you consider listening to the Top 20 Songs of the 1970s. For many of us “older types” just singing along the words will lighten the spirt. For the “younger’s”, you’ll get a sense of how we made sense of the madness of the 60’s and 70’s. Give it a try.
