Short term tantrums of typical tyrants like Trump can seem insurmountable in their in-your-face tactics. Unless viewed through the long lens of human history here on earth.
The past week the world celebrated - banned books week, world migratory bird day, and indigenous people's day. That's only the top three on our list of worthwhile pursuits to counter our frustrations.

When it feels like the weight of the world is tipping towards tragedy - remember what feeds the collective spirit. Direct attention, action, and aggression away from doomsday doldrums.
Cast your nets far and wide - into ambitious dreams and colossal creations, quiet scenes and simple treats. Anything and everything that excites and inspires, calms and nourishes - different strokes for all us different folks.
Make some space to settle down in place.
If an institution r community bans a book - go get it and find out for yourself what the raucous in all about. You are guaranteed to survive reading of any kind - with the added bonus of a fresh perspective and a deepened connection.
Check out flight paths and current status of our avian world. Human and urban encroachment has greatly diminished these flocks. Follow them on their annual migration and be uplifted by how many are still able to make it even now.
Learn what you can from indigenous tribal awareness - how they are the true guardians and keepers of our natural world. Their people and practice have contributed to humanity's survival - in peace and through incredible discrimination.

These are just a few reminders that can easily nourish and nurture us as we make our way in the world today. Redirect our focus to acknowledging the awe and beauty in our surroundings - the value in what we hold dear and beloved.
As so many before us have not just survived but thrived - we too can pave the way for our children and their descendants to live in a world made safe and sound by what we do for ourselves today and always.
Truth telling. Resolute Resolutions. Abiding action.
