i'm far too personally involved with this election.
i suppose (?)
it's become an ethics issue for me
a character analysis or such...of those for or against so many issues :/
mindfulness always loses (in my history)
facts become meaningless and broader thought is inevitably "weakness"
i don't even know anymore if i am become paranoid (why do the bad guys
always seem to win??) i know that this election (u.s.) has become for
me an analogy for life--of the "winners" and "losers" and i don't think
it's healthy :(
more music, less news, i suppose :/

x-no-archive: yes
it's too many years of having been struggling, perhaps
not entirely financially
it's seeing the "other side"
it's the knowledge that there are ~many~ sides
life isn't sound bites and it isn't black and white
neither are countries and all the people therein
i don't think i've ever felt so isolated.
perhaps this is what middle age is.
seeing both sides of....most everything
hell, seeing multiple sides of most everything.
(having lived many of them)

and always it comes down (for me) to how i raise my girls :/
i think perhaps i have raised them to think too much, to care too
deeply, to give too readily
this world rewards self-confident ignorance.
lie and believe it
make yourself look good
go for the gold
and the rest be damned
right?
i think i am feeling too personally involved in this election :(

sleeplessness
how did i get to the point that my closest friends are all so terribly
wealthy? me, the peace corps one?
i could teach them to go for the money.
they listen to me (with perhaps too much faith, in fact)
am i the fool?
at the moment i cannot help but wonder if i've just set them up for
bitterness :/
i want them to be happy----but before that i suppose i really do want
them to be compassionate
i may have done them a great disservice :(

'sleep my child
and peace attend thee'
(i could mis-quote the rest)
'i my loving vigil keeping
all through the night'
i cross-stitched it when rach was born.
it hung over her bed for years
where did my faith go?
was it blind?
i could make their boo-boo's better then.
nothing is so certain anymore.
