The world is in a mess (which it always has been.) Once you accept that, it is easy to turn within although your mind is a part of the mess.

What can be done when nothing can be done? For starters, this is critical to see. It is humanity that has messed up the world; therefore we can’t look to human nature to do anything of a spiritual nature.

Silence is an appropriate response to noise. You can put on headphones only to discover that the noise is of an emotional nature.

We are in a mess of our own making and do not have the ability to transcend it, except for shockingly brief periods.

But do what you can.

Note the noise.

Breathe into it.

Realize that this is your superpower: Noting noise and wanting nothing to do with it.

Being whole is your birthright to claim; it never expires, so use it or lose it.

Amen and selah!
