@dannyboy We've been climbing back up now for two years and although the new high appeared to happen in 2028, we are well on the way and will continue the ascent. Also it could happen sooner. Sometimes when I am meditating very long distances (meaning long time into the future), events happen faster than I thought they would happen.
@jeanne-mayell 2028 seems watershed/important for a lot of reasons, most specifically because it's the next presidential election cycle after this one and I too feel like we're building toward that big moment. I doubt highly your dates are off, and yes - the ascent has been good to live through, especially since it was right after the election of TFG that I found this place because I needed the hope and faith then more than I ever have in my life. My how far we've come... but my how far we still have yet to go.
I just want it here now lol.
@dannyboy I remember reading the comments and predictions on this site during Thanksgiving 2016. I was in such despair and it was the only thing that made me feel better. I am so grateful that I found the gift of this community, and for Jeanne, who created it. I could never have imagined what it would come to mean to me.
Back in 2016, who could ever have imagined the level of sheer insanity that awaiting us? I mean, if we could run a reel of 45's greatest offenses and show it to our 2016 selves, who on earth would have believed it?
As for the climate crisis, it's here (95 degrees in NYC today) but I feel hopeful that humankind will find solutions and we will eventually wake up and walk in the same direction.
@dannyboy, so many good things are happening, both small and at scale. On my little project, the choir is getting larger, so I have a lot of hope. From where I sit, I see these things flowing toward the same destination, much akin to a river and its tributaries leading to the ocean. Naturally, while I am well aware a more blue, more progressive house and senate will expedite things - I can't fathom your fellow citizens returning defendant one - I also think that business, namely insurance, defeats any manner of rhetoric that may originate from the GOP. While those philosophical tributaries have yet to join the main river, they will; it's too late to build dams to block progress, especially on this subject.

You know how to build and grow a metaphor my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 love this!
@jeanne-mayell This brings to mind the 9 of Wands in the Tarot. The interpretation that I usually go with is a person planting a forest, or a grove of trees, looking ahead with frustration, at how much is left to do, then being reminded to look back and see how much has been done.
