   What Happened Was...

   ...I was figuring out how to talk about all the Nazism and I didn't do the best job of figuring that out, lol. This week, more music and levity with greater clarity and boundaries. That's a win-win, so you should listen. I do appreciate you being here and being with. Love yinz. -G

   What's Going On?

   Marvin Gaye asked a simple question, linguistically, which carried with it the complexities and histories of his and his people's lives and experiences. What's going on? When we think about looking ahead (prognostication) or looking behind (retrognostication), we must consider what's going on in the "Me Now" and the "Here Now." It's a question, and an endeavor, of simultaneously existing now... before... and after. Nazis are all around us. So let's prognosticate, retrognosticate, and breath in the moment as we explore... What's going on? I appreciate you being here! -G

   Five Perspectives, Actually

   Episode two of my fifty-first season on this globular rock hurtling through time and space with yinz. Pretty miraculous, that. I'm happy to exist with you here and now. My life and your life intersecting during the time of COVID as we navigate this massive paradigm shift out of several hundred years of masculine white supremacy and towards a more feminine-balanced, person-centered, intuitive, trauma-informed, and inclusively human species. The shift is happening, but these jagoffs are going to go out swinging. They always do. No malignant narcissist just walks away having lost, and unfortunately these folks have almost all of the money and all of these tools, gadgets, and weapons of domination. They will not succeed. Which means the whole thing for us is harm reduction, healing, and preservation as we figure this out, moving forward, together. Last week, we talked about a framework of three-perspectives for self and community wellness and nervous system care. Those perspectives are: MeNow (and for us... HereNow), The Time of COVID (and for you... perhaps a different salient timeframe), and MyLife. This week, we begin to contemplate two other important perspectives. Namely, prognostication... or predicting the future; and retrognostication... or achieving the most accurate perspective of events and times before MeNow, before Time of COVID, before MyLife. Plus? Some Driven to Drink room tone shenanigans at the end. For fun. A little levity to balance all this gravity. Love yinz! -G P.S. Yinz is a contraction of "you" and "ones" used by native Pittsburghers and our Scots-Irish and German ancestors, 'n'at.
