Not so much a marathon as a collective relay race. Everybody takes a turn, then steps off to rest while others run for a while, and then rejoins the fight when they're rested and ready to do more.

Thank you for voicing this, as well as suggesting how to treat this condition. I remember well from the last time how negativity and unease, as well as more, seemed to pervade so much of public discourse and the atmosphere. Yes, solace and strength in connections human, feline, natural world. "Little" joys. Time with the arts and other forms of expression. Spiritual community.for me a recent UU service full of moving music, a range of "joys and concerns," words spoken from the heart. "Time for all ages" warmed, expanded me the most. "Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed" is the story of one girl who does something nice (shared blueberries that she picked) for five people. One of those people is delighted and moved to do something nice for five people, and so on. The result has an exponential effect.
