This is a pivotal question, and not one to take lightly. We are in the midst of great upheaval in our country, and now, in our personal lives as well. How does one gracefully handle the pressure of imminent yet virtually unknown change?
Answer: do the best you can.
Paltry advice, but honestly, what the hell else can you do?
Every so often the universe whacks you upside the head and reminds you that you are not in charge, not of anything.
It’s a bitter pill, whose side effects may include nausea, paranoia, anxiety and irritability.
My hope is that both personally and nationally, we can take change with grace, cool heads, and the knowledge that all is ephemeral. The Buddhist idea of non-attachment comes to mind. Seems like the best option at this point.
What do you do when change comes at you fast and furiously? (bringing to mind that lukewarm trilogy of car movies we had to endure lo these many years, the highlight being Michele Rodriguez's bad-ass. I miss her on "Lost." Sigh.)
Seriously, what do you do?
And the Oscar Goes to. . . .Yawn
