I grew up with the mindset that everything was political. Everything. I lived that way for who knows how long? I studied it and taught it. When one looks through that lens, it shapes so many things, including our hearts.

Of course, I was wrong. I hope people pause and ask themselves about the nature of all of reality, not just the immediately obvious. The immediately obvious screams its poison.

We choose our course and then follow where it leads. I weep at the direction of so many.
