It is natural to know despair in dark times, to feel dread and uncertainty. But do not immerse yourself in doom. Seek out joy and light, wherever you can find it, to keep despair from being the only feeling you have space for.

@coachgowron @pandanus Darkness & despair arise as surely as the sun sets, yet clinging to them is like grasping smoke. Do not let your #mind dwell only in shadow. As the moon shines even on the longest night, so too must you turn toward #joy wherever it appears. Walk neither in light nor darkness alone, but see both as passing clouds in an endless sky. Let neither consume you, & you will remain #free.

Too many people will take that idea and watch the SuperBowl instead of reaching out to make things right
@coachgowron Thanks, coach, I’ve been needing this lately.
