Here’s an overlay of Ukraine on a partial US map for those who think visually.
To be clear, it doesn’t make Putins actions any less heinous but facts are important. The US covers an area 16.3 times the size of Ukraine.

Mother,
Give me
The wisdom

Moving on
Is second nature

Russia sent 31 satellites into orbit with 100kw nuclear reactors… decades ago.
A 40kw nuclear reactor can fit in the trunk of a ‘70’s sedan.
You don’t build one on the moon, you send it there in a box.
For reference; 40kw of solar can power most homes and costs around $60,000.

I’ve been here before
I can’t tell you when
Because I’m not really sure
But this taste in my mouth
Is a taste
I’ve tasted…
Maybe this time
It’s mine
May be not

This moment, right now as you read this, is the only moment that exists.
Living like that does not mean we need to accomplish something great every day. Sometimes it is enough to simply "be."
The idea is to be here, now, fully. In every moment. And cherish those moments.

The cure to loneliness is community.
The cure to feeling disempowered is community.
The cure to an ailing society is community.
Now, more than ever, true community, the bonding of people through a common cause or ideals or simply through location, is needed.
Find yours, or create it, in person.

Stop what you are doing.
Take three deep breaths, extend the exhale on the 3rd like you're blowing out a candle & repeat this expression of love in your mind as a message to the world:
"May you be happy, healthy, safe, and free."
Be still and feel that love returned.

Whether I travel in the company of passion
Or reside in the solitude of self
Whether desire is by my side
Or the isolation I abide
It is always with me

"There is a sacredness in tears....They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and of unspeakable love."
- Washington Irving
Never be afraid to cry. Or to laugh. There is an incredible strength in the fearless expression of emotion.

Technically, the US can legally rename anything in its territory. But as you’ll see in this map I downloaded from USGS (which, ironically, still calls it the Gulf of Mexico) that territory doesn’t reach very far into the Gulf.
We have no legal right to rename the rest of it.

The colors may be slightly enhanced because most cameras capture light that eyes don’t but it’s not AI.

Anyway, here’s a picture I painted of my dog.
