I am intensively practicing HALT this week by hiking parts of the Camino de Santiago with a wonderful small group & eating incredible Spanish food. Every gentle, friendly pilgrim (backpacker) I pass who says to me “buen camino” restores my faith in humanity a little bit.
This is a great post, Karen. Thank you. I keep hoping that this is the dark before dawn and, soon, we'll be in a better place because this? No, thank you. (David Byrne keeps singing in my head, "Well, how did I get here?") I hope we find a way to shake off the last 7+ years and get back to logic and compassion, wanting good for each other instead of a continual power grab. The rage we see every day, it seems, is too much. (Seriously, I may never fly again.) But, all it takes is a smile or kind word to help melt the ice. We need to do that more. (BTW, if you're interested in mis/dis-information stuff like FUD, I highly recommend Dr. Caroline Orr Bueno's substack Weaponized. She's brilliant.) xo
