"Conflict cannot survive without your participation." ~ Wayne Dyer
I decided to give it a rest tonight, and so I turned on the Classical music. It was exactly the right thing to do. I had seen something really inspiring and uplifting and forward looking right before, and I wanted to hold onto it.
Much of my evening was very peaceful.
I assist a few people with social media, and after deciding to give it a rest, from this notion of "following the news/commentary", after actually finding a welcome space of trust, I couldn't help but see someone being nasty to someone else, on social media, and more than once.
I didn't want to see it. But I saw it.
About the same time, a piece came on the radio with notes that felt askew.
Sometimes such notes are OK, but not tonight. I wanted to hear a simple melody, not dissonance. And so I turned the radio off, and I finished my social media work, and I tried not to look at the various things people were being nasty about (not anyone I was assisting, just in the feed), but still it got inside my head.
And so I came in here to write. And I feel better.
