a young man, I boxed. A lot. And no matter if it was in training or competition, there was a minute break between rounds. I'm old now, and require that rest period more frequently. More, I know it benefits young folks.
I remember after I stopped boxing, a conversation with a traditional Native American Clan Mother. She said that when the world is spinning at a rapid pace, it is essential to find time to witdraw into your own peaceful cycle.
We are experiencing a very, very strange period in human history. Trump is the toxic flowering of the social-political instability. It is absolutely necessary to take time off to care for yourself.

I'm not. Trump drama is designed to drag you down. It's an old discouragement trick of elections.
