Like millions, I'm totally devastated by the results of yesterday's US election. I'm not sure how I'll respond. However, below is a post I saw this morning on Mastodon.Cloud that is fitting.
"I wish it need not have happen in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given." From Toiken's "Lord of the Rings".
For today, I'm tuning out all media and most social media.
Good luck to all of you who worked for a different result. Good luck to those of you who will wish you did not get the result you voted for.
Thanks for sharing thoughts in my blog space and so I return the favor -- it feels terrible right now but somehow, some light is bound to sparkle through. I don't know where or how right now. But I aim to keep looking. - Kevin
