QUOTE OF THE DAY:My aunt sent me this quote today. It's a good one.
"We will not go back to normal. Normal never was. Our pre-corona existence was not normal other than we normalized greed, inequity, exhaustion, depletion, extraction, disconnection, confusion, rage, hoarding, hate and lack.We should not long to return, my friends. We are being given the opportunity to stitch a new garment. One that fits all of humanity and nature." ~ Sonya Renee Taylor SOMETHING NEW!!
