Am I, are We Okay?!
Publisher's Note: I got this in an email a week or so ago. I don't know who wrote it, and it really doesn't matter, because the important thing is that it hits home; for me and so many. It was obviously written just a few days or so after probably the saddest day in American history...Election Day. Anyway, I wanted to share it. Thanks to Boca Bevy for sharing it with me.
Dear Friends,
I was asked yesterday if I was "okay" ... and frankly the answer is no, not at all, not even close. I'm on auto-pilot right now, just going through the motions in a world that has fundamentally changed for the worse and will never be the same again.
I haven't slept much more than a few minutes in the last 48-hours with my mind trying to understand what happened on Tuesday... reading, watching Robin Hood again, sitting next to a waterfall, working on my book, listening to music... nothing has worked because my thoughts keep instantly returning to the fact that the country I grew up believing in and loving died this week... and not from a major catastrophe compliments of Mother Nature, a Biblical plague, or an invasion of a foreign country... worse... what once was the greatest country in the world committed suicide by voting to reward wrong! More of less? I truly don't understand.
