 “This moment humanity is experiencing can be seen as a door or a hole. The decision to fall in the hole or walk through the door is up to you. If you consume the news 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous, with pessimism, you will fall into this hole.

But if you take the opportunity to look at yourself, to rethink life and death, to take care of yourself and others, then you will walk through the portal.

Take care of your home, take care of your body. Connect with your spiritual home. When you take care of yourself, you take care of everyone at the same time.

Do not underestimate the spiritual dimension of this crisis. Take the perspective of an eagle that sees everything from above with a broader view. There is a social question in this crisis, but also a spiritual question. The two go hand in hand.

Without the social dimension we fall into fanaticism. Without the spiritual dimension, we fall into pessimism and futility.

Are you ready to face this crisis. Grab your toolbox and use all the tools at your disposal.

Learn resistance from the example of Indian and African peoples: we have been and are exterminated. But we never stopped singing, dancing, lighting a fire and rejoicing.

Don't feel guilty for feeling blessed in these troubled times. Being sad or angry doesn't help at all. Resistance is resistance through joy!

You have the right to be strong and positive. And there's no other way to do it than to maintain a beautiful, happy, bright posture.

Has nothing to do with alienation (ignorance of the world). It's a resistance strategy.

When we cross the threshold, we have a new worldview because we faced our fears and difficulties. This is all you can do now:

- Serenity in the storm

- Keep calm, pray everyday

- Make a habit of meeting the sacred everyday.

Show resistance through art, joy, trust and love.”

 Since my life on FB is in danger and this is a platform that I can use to express my thoughts, I thought I would post something here before it is lost to Cyberspace. I don't usually rant on this page. It takes up valuable time and space. 
 FB/Meta has removed one of my posts, citing "suggesting suicide". I was just saying that I used to care. If anybody wanted to change my mind or give me some inspiration, I am all ears. I am in no way implying that I would cause self-injury. I find it difficult to understand why they would pick on me but allow some of the worst stuff to be posted on social media. Here is what I posted and their response. Maybe I accidentally sent up a red flag ? 

Time to Retire

   After over seventy years of enjoying and sharing my photography, I will be closing my Facebook accounts but I may keep my online Flickr Photostream

http://www.flickr.com/photos/oldetownephotos/

 (over 51,000 images) site active for another year. Times, people and technology have changed have changed so much that I find it difficult to keep up. 
Social media, imho, has gone out of control and FB has outlived its usefulness.        Blogger.com is my safe place. Google, Wikipedia and YouTube are the greatest things since sliced bread. Since I don't blog about politics or religion, I try to maintain a non-opinionated stream. I am finished with debating and trying to enlighten people on social media. If I post or make a comment, it is recorded somewhere. If I think about something, I receive ads within the hour. Who needs the intrusion? 
  I have included links to some of the Blogs over on the Side Bar that you may (?) find interesting. I need to refresh the list as I see that some haven't been active for several years.
  Comments are welcome whether or not you agree. This is a free country and this is an uncensored blog. 
  Cheers 😀
