These are dark times.
We are in the midst of global pandemic; infections and deaths from COVID-19 are resurging across the world. The forces of climate change are raining down destruction, with hurricanes in Central America, typhoons in the Philippines, and record wildfires on the west coast of the Americas.
And here in the U.S. we have a consequential presidential election in progress we'll likely still not know the outcome of by the time you read this post on Wednesday. The election is set against an ugly, divisive political backdrop. Those in power are trying hard to keep their position by any means possible. Those committed to the relentless pursuit of wealth are continuing to profit.
It can all seem like too much.
