So helpful to understand my every morning mental state of malaise.

I've drafted a piece on the contagion of malaise that's afflicting most of us. It's like the constant dread of living in a dysfunctional family. The best pathway for retaining sanity and coping sufficiently toward freedom is to recognize that, indeed and regrettably, the family's screwed up. The next course toward grounding is to "find your people." That includes all who are "people in the know." They become your mooring.

I moved to rural Vermont after living in St Louis for 17 years... Taking hard work to reestablish community, but I'm doing it! Got into deep discussion about Edward Bernays with her yesterday.
