I got a little lost in the woods and my 2 hour trail trash-picking walk turned into 3. It was lovely and I had the time and my knee was holding out and I knew the forest was surrounded by roads, so eventually I should make my way out.
Unrelated, I've decided that I can be angry, scared and upset about current events, but I can still make joy and enjoy happiness. It's a hard balance, and not one I do well, but the only way to stay strong enough to act is to embrace what joy I can.
I think I've also just crossed some line in how I view other people. It has become clear that the problem is that there are lots of people who know exactly how broken everything is and they like it that way. Every detail of Breonna Taylor's trial drives that point home. I have to help the people who do care make their voices heard louder than those who don't.
