We need to know what's going on & what's behind the goings on. But we also need to guard our deeper self. We need to deepen our #mystical lives & make room for #solitude while we learn to #fightback & #resist. bit.ly/3Tz8mQW

Remember: #NicholasOfCusa: ‘Humanity will find that it's not a diversity of creeds, but the same creed, everywhere proposed. There cannot be but 1 wisdom.
