Your truly inspired writing touches me deeply--it is beautiful to feel so bonded to a young man I have never met across continent and ocean with a very different background than my own. Yet our responses to the events of the last several years have us sharing so much. I am experiencing a similar healing with my sister who has responded completely differently than I, and has been very combative and angry toward me. It has been my desire to focus on our shared love for her children and grandchildren to maintain our family bonds. Because I have consistently attempted to steer conversations in that direction that the light is breaking though the cracks....Thank you, Martin, You are a beautiful man and soul. Keep taking good care of yourself as we heal as individuals and as humanity.

Well written Martin. I'm at the same place as you. Lots of internal work building up my spirit while coming to terms with the damage done to my psyche over the past 3 years needs yet to be done. I'm finding that both mourning and forgiveness are necessary for me to progress. For me prayer, time at the ocean and in the woods and a spliff now and then (legalized here in CT,USA) help the process.

With great appreciation for your insights,

T
