Yes, the world is in shambles. It always has been. A tug of war between order and disorder, taking on different forms, states, faces, identities, labels, and -isms. We get lost in these complexities and search for meanings within them. But every now and then we seek the essence and listen, and when we do, we allow for a bit of truth to shine (through us). This war has been around since our beginnings. It is a reflection of human nature. A dualistic nature we cannot change or control. The only choice we have, in each moment, is between holding either end of the rope. Choose wisely.
