Need a distraction from the news today? How about we go back to 1987? (My Substack "Life Behind Bars" will take you there!) It's free to subscribe -

I saw a woman literally hugging a tree this morning. (Since the world feels like it's spinning off its axis, it seems a very reasonable response.)

Exactly. Practicing letting go, in order to hold on.
