"We have to walk away from the old and create something new for ourselves that is unfuckwithable."

I can see why this is in bold. What a brilliantly motivating slogan!

At present, perhaps not too many people are yet ready for this, even those beginning to discern that all is not well, like the vax injured. They are grieving for their lost health and hope that those who took it away will restore it to them. Realising the truth will be painful, but it will happen.

However I don't think the 'other side' are as on top of things as they'd like us to think. They have been caught on the hop too and are currently floundering in a sort of controlled panic.

I suspect the last few years have been like an earthquake for everyone on both sides of the divide. Those of us who have a sense of what is going on, and who are in good shape, will pull ourselves out of the rubble and start creating the new world. At first it will probably be just for us. In time others will see it as better than the alternative being assembled by the 'other side', and they will join in.

"God helps those who help themselves." Slowly but surely the new world will come together. I'm convinced of that.

Hi Abby, I have followed your writing and programs for many years now, 10 at least. This is one of the most profound pieces I’ve read in a very long time. Brilliant. Here in the US, engagement is open on so many fronts that it’s hard to even begin to focus. And you are spot on about the distractions. Tune them out, as best we can. Find Allie’s where we each can. And focus on what matters for each of us. I have been working hard at pulling back and concentrating on what I CAN do. I know many like-minded people, each striving to create, for lack of better words, harmony and peace. Your shared image captures so much visually. Rambling, I know. This write has pushed me a bit further down the road. I hear you.
