If you persevere, in time you will have an entirely different problem – not that life is meaningless, but rather that life has almost too much meaning. As the scales fall from your eyes the world rushes into focus, presenting itself with a kind of vibrational eloquence that can, at first, be almost overwhelming. Everything shimmers, everything clarifies, everything wrestles for your attention. Trees feel super-real, their roots plunged into the earth, their branches stretching to the sky, birds are flesh and blood souls, fragile with life, the sky unfolds and rolls, the ocean crashes, people fascinate, books are beautiful, children are whirling dynamos of chaos, dogs bark and cats meow, flowers shout, your neighbour glows, and God runs like a helix through all things. The world awaits you, humming with meaning. You are alive with potential. You are not dead.

Everything is so superb and breathtaking. I am creeping forward on my belly like they do in war movies.

With the ceasefire deal underway, we should keep talking about Palestine. It is still occupied and the blockade is still in place. Only some of the military occupations will withdraw Ghazzah. Not all of it. At the same time, the settler colony has violated ceasefire before. So let's keep boycotting, donating, and protesting!

No donations were made in the past 3 days! Please donate and share. Even though there is a ceasefire, Ruba and her family are displaced and they need to purchase food, fuel, medicine, and other essentials! Let's reach the 1K mark ASAP! There is £437 to go! Remember: You can give as little as £1 since and in your own currency, such as AUD, CAD EUR, GBP, or USD!
