Everything sublime is as difficult as it is rare. Baruch Spinoza

Some won't be able to see this because it's on Threads. Even without the message I like the music. With the message I like it more.

I'm not going to be consistent with comments for awhile. My mental state is a wreck. I'm lousy company. My DIL is protesting whenever possible. They live in the city, in a diverse neighborhood, and she works in a government building in the city center. I'm proud of her and also concerned. We know it doesn't take much to end up facedown on the street or to be shot. Or murdered. The reality has hit.

Hang in there. Post when you can, and I get why you're not up to a lot right now.

I am sorry for this and I hope that you can get into something soothing at home like noooooodddllle making??? Maybe hand-make cavatelli, something like that. Or anything like that. I dunno if that helps or not for some. Tossing it out there in case.

Sandra, your posting of the Anthem was incredibly moving. I am truly at a loss for words or a comment after watching and listening to that video. Thank you for posting it.

I think so many of us feel this way. I feel like I am not doing my part, as I had a health emergency and can't really participate in anything. I want to do something and I just can't.

Thank you, and for all the people peacefully protesting. ❤️

This is on YouTube also so I watched and listened. Wow, very moving.

When will this stop?

I got there. I don’t know if I am distressed as you, but I can tell you that I am distressed, and I am not American. We stand with you as best we can. Take care. I hope your loved ones stay safe.

I don't have threads but was able to listen to it. I stand with Minneapolis.

Thanks for the link Sandra, it's tough. I also stand with Minneapolis and all the people who are out in this terrible weather, including your daughter-in-law. I would give her a big hug if I could, she has my 100 percent support. As of what I have read today, it seems like there might be a crack in the works after all this awfulness we've seen. Keeping fingers crossed that this is so. Hang in there, sending a big hug.
