My strategy for decades has been to ignore politics and the news as much as possible. Surprisingly, the world seems like a better place when you don't have people continually telling you how awful it is.
Yes, I find it so, too. Both pieces are by the Danish duo, Bremer / McCoy, one from the Utopia album and one from the Enhed ( unity) album. Thanks for reading at Leaves!
I also liked the story. It's been frequent that I've gone into the garden when I wake up at three or four in the morning, troubled by some dream, and found solace in looking up at the Universe. "And when my spirit's free / I'll roam Eternity / I'll mingle with Your stars and suns ....
I’ll be looking at the sky tonight, Sharron. All the therapy in the world, can’t compare to a few minutes pondering the vastness of the night sky. I will not be lying on my back, however. I don’t want to have woodland creatures walking on my face…ha ha 🐰🦊🦌🐈🦨🦃 (the turkeys are the worst!).
A couple of times a week I go out on the porch in the middle of the night and look up. Such a brain-boggling mystery out there, I seem the let go of the small stuff in here — I recognize their smallness.
Love it.
Thank you, VickkiDawn!
Perhaps we could all use some pavement time to put things in perspective.
It's been a rough couple of weeks and it will continue for a long while. We defitiely need a way to cope. Deep breath. Gaze at the stars.

My feeling exactly. I only want to hear about things I can actually DO something about. Otherwise the worry is pointless. IMHO.
That's a fine line to draw but an extremely important one.
We’re with you … I stay ‘aware’ but not following it … there’s calmness to be found in going information-lite.
Yes. You can’t miss the important things, you will hear about them, but the daily garbage is not necessary.
Self-defense…
WOW! That was perfect space-out music. thank you. That and Utopia both allowed me to just relax and tame the monkey brain for a few minutes.

Beautiful!
That's a couple of lines from the unofficial Baha'i wedding song back in the day. I sang it at Brian and Ann's and Jolene and Bill's weddings.
Thank you. I had not heard it before.
After that wonderful release from a vertical view, I've closed my eyes and let the horizontal flow in!
There you go! Mix 'em up.
If it wasn't so cold, I just might go outside and lie on my back and just gaze at the sky, myself. Nice!
Bundle up! There is a great big sky waiting for you that might put things into perspective, CJ.

Lying down in turkey poop on the grass, is probably not too conducive to contemplation…. just saying.
Thoughtful … beautiful dialogue, Sharron. Timely too.
Thank you, my hero.

Perspective is important!
A couple of times a week I go out on the porch in the middle of the night and look up. Such a brain-boggling mystery out there, I seem the let go of the small stuff in here — I recognize their smallness.
Superb integration of graphics and text. A change of perspective makes all the difference. Infinity is humbling.
Thank you. Humbling, indeed. I love the Bremer/McCoy music and thought this little wistful piece was just right.
Thank you for having me lay on the pavement for a little while, Sharron
We get desperate, we become uninspired, we try anything...
