Outrage becomes habitual, especially in the progressive political realm that is defined by "if-they-only".

If we are to gain a clear view of What Is, we need to remove the filtering lenses of emotion and judgement - no matter how well-meaning they may be. It takes a lot of practice.

"Enjoy and embrace" - I like that as a mantra for today.
