Sometimes, I look around at everything that's going horribly in the world, and I just get frustrated and, or, depressed. But I'e been working hard, lately, to remember to return to my breath. I can do more good in the world if I am steady, if I am capable of holding the path and not giving in to sorrow, anger, or despair.

Creation--the act of creativity--seems to me the best path forward. To forge a better world, we are required to become our better selves - which is not to say our "improved" selves - but, rather, our most holistic self.

Some days are going to be overwhelming.

And these systems around us won't vanish without a fight.

But maybe I can learn to be at peace in the middle of that fight.
