My message this beautiful crisp Sunday morning as a I skim read The Sunday New York Times, my favorite pastime.

Sending light…because knowledge is the sword to fight the bleakness of ignorance. This world is too comfortable believing in lies and intrigue. Time to shake it up with truth.

No I’m not coming out you narrow minded dumbasses. Still a cisgender hetero grumpy and cantankerous as always… just surfing on a symbol that also means positivity. You can encourage and support without be patronizing and insincere. You don’t have to be a Polly-Anna nor a negative Nelly, strive to be somewhere in between. And let the facts guide you with sprinkling of big time dreaming!

Sending courage to live and be hopeful and to chase your dreams! We must always strive to be a better version of ourselves for our families and the world community. We have to seek others even when we want to remain in seclusion, on this same path. This seeking takes courage. This is the quality of the brave.

Somehow, we have to figure out how to be in this world joyfully. (Borrowed from Will Smith’s new book, I am not all that deep ya’ll) This collective melancholy and depression has to go, we must seek joy and true happiness.
