Thank you, Martin! Oddly your post addressed me personally; I doubt I am the only one. I keep getting this odd synchronisitic message from my reading--and that is love. It comes up in the Divine Comedy, which I am reading, it came up in a Charles Williams book I happened to read, called the Greater Trumps, and it came up in another Substack. The message to love everyone is profound and difficult to digest and difficult to implement in my day to day life, but it's certainly grabbed my attention.
I think you are right on the money about all the small demons surfacing. I normally live a drama free life. I don't have social pressures and ordinarily things just flow along. But I've just found myself in the midst of a witch hunt that has swooped through a 501C3 board of directors that I sit on. It's just so surreal--as if taken from the pages of a Shirley Jackson short story, or The Crucible. Your explanation perfectly describes what is happening.
Anyway, cheers. No pressure to write from this reader. Take the time you need. Lying fallow is an important part of the process.
Oh dear brother, I hope yu can come my way and I will be such a sister as yu have never had !!! Yu get me and I resemble every thing yu said totally. I am 71 years young because I have learned to take care of myself. I have seen it all, been shocked with still more shocks coming, 😲 😳 and everything else yu described.
Martin, You are loved and appreciated for the writings that you share with the world. You express so brilliantly what many of us think and feel and endure. I have lived in a state of outrage alternating with hope these past five years, prayerfully waiting for the world to awaken and the wicked to fall. I have mostly stayed away from X and other social media the past couple weeks because I needed to be alone, out in nature, and with my animals to heal my tormented mind and gain some peace. Please take care of yourself!
Martin, you and your insights are brilliant and appreciated more than you may ever know.
God bless you always

Amen
Thank you for taking care of YOU. And for encouraging us to do the same.
But most of all for taking care of Martin.
