Moments of despair.  The heart is heavy, even as the mind tries hard to focus on the myriad tasks at hand, and not dwell on that which deflates the spirit.  I try to put perspective on this view of how things are, and yet perspective has its own way of shaping your viewpoint.  It showed you the way into this quagmire.  It will now show you the way out.  The issue is what the heart, and the mind, and the soul endure in the interim.  Advaita?  Yes, I believe in that now.  Today, more than at any other time before.  Reality is harsh, but it is what it is.  The Universe puts its own spin on the course of events.  What is done is done.  What has been said, has been.  All one can do now, is look forward.  Today, there is much to do.  Tomorrow is a brand new day.
