I’ve got news for me: this world may only seem to be worse today than when I was a child. Whether or not true, it feels true enough as evidenced by the speed, the chaos and the consumption so long out of control. There are no innocents. We all bear some responsibility for the myriad troubles, yet also for all of the good in this lovely world of rainbows. My surprise of surprises is that my waking up has been so much easier than my growing up.
