If by chance you're not familiar with Turmeric, I would like to recommend it. It's good an almost untold number of good uses, among which those which may relate to what you currently face dealing with. It's done wonders for a number of people in my life (as well as a cat, believe it or not). Highly recommended.
Look forward to seeing your around in these all too human days ahead. Here's to spring.

Fantastic: This is fantastic and dead-on target. "It's the end again for the first time / but probably not the last". I've written a lot about "apocalypses" over the years, and don't think I've found 13 words that could hammer it down as well as you have in these two lines.
When we donate our emotions at the whims of the screen, our emotions can be used against others and against ourselves. It is something, in eternal crisis mode, people especially struggle to see.
