Every generation has its challenges. I think people like to believe that we came here to try to have a nice life, but that's not exactly a soul journey. Still, I wish you happy times and plenty of love, along with the challenging, mind-fucking growth.

I am sad about Matthew Perry's death; addiction is god-awful.

I don't have any answers, really, about the world going to shit. I remember the 1973 Israeli war and how terrified I was at 17. My plan was to take all my record albums and head to the mountains. Not well thought out and of course I didn't have to (and I still have the albums). It did make me realize how important music was in my life. I have lived through a lot of crises since then and the most recent Gaza/Israeli tragedy began when my kids and I were on holiday in London. I saw many runners and wondered if you were one of them ;-) So while the world is going to shit, there are people carrying on with their lives, jobs, families; all the things. The juxtaposition is curious. So we had our holiday, enjoyed the kindnesses and returned home. In 11 days we only met one rude person. It was epic. This is rambling but the longer I live, the less I know. I think we just keep on, trying to make the best of the time we have been given. Somewhere(s) it's always going to shit. One would think we had learned better by now. (We walked through St James Park and I loved seeing the waterfowl...I am a bird and tree nerd. But no pigeon sat on my head).
