Today, we go back to that discussion I started just before the workshop in episode 313. It breaks my heart to see the destruction and violence that has erupted this year. To watch people who managed not to lose everything during the covid shut downs, lose it to vandals as things start to open up breaks my heart.

To see an ever mounting list of demands that do nothing to address the core issue but cause lots of news buzz breaks my heart – and all of this heartbreak is done from the quiet solitude of my home. Where I am also doing nothing.
