* Dear Peter:

You are welcome and thank you for your kind words!

“Some days it feels too much“, you wrote. It was yesterday or the day before yesterday that I felt something in the morning, something distressing, and I was alarmed, as in thinking: what is this, what is going to happen to me?

Next, I recognized that something and said to myself, oh, that’s Fear. When I said that, I immediately felt better. Labeling it and pointing to it (oh that’s Fear) was like seeing it outside of me, instead of feeling it inside, raging in me and taking over me.

If you want to, you are welcome to start your own thread about these last few years that “have been too much”. This is what these years felt to me, too much, ever since early 2020: the pandemic, escalated climate change, political radicalization and rising autocracy in the world, including the Ukraine invasion. We can talk about any of these and more, if you want. But only if you think it may help you, and for as long as it does. I wish you well regardless!
