What a piece of work is man
How noble in reason
How infinite in faculties
In form and moving how express and admirable
In action how like an angel
In apprehension how like a god
The beauty of the world
The paragon of animals
I have of late
But wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth
This goodly frame
The earth seems to me a sterile promontory
This most excellent canopy
The air look you
This brave o'erhanging firmament
This majestical roof
Fretted with golden fire
Why it appears no other thing to me
Than a foul and pestilent congregation
Of vapors.
from Hamlet and the musical Hair--for some reason it's been running through my thoughts. Only now and then, when I read the news, which I'm doing less of these days.

Aw, you're really grieving aren't you? Maybe, just maybe, it won't turn out as bad as your fears. I hope not. There's certainly a lot of good goes on in the world, as well as the bad, but it doesn't get as much airtime. Sending a hug.
Humans will be the death of this beautiful planet. We are already most of the way there.
It's doubly sad that over half of the Americans who voted are completely blind to what is to come. I wish, in a way, to not have the knowledge I have.
