Here's what I want for all of us today.

I want us all to show ourselves some simple human mercy for our essential, existential, eternal insanity.

Because personhood is not always a simple thing, OK?

And we are all doing our best.

So…SHOW SOME MERCY!

Show some mercy toward yourself. Put down the knife you are holding to your own throat, just for a few minutes. Let's all try it, everyone. Today.

(Me, too.)

Starting right this minute.

Love to you,
Liz
