In the Star Wars universe, the Gray Jedi have a code. One of the lines is "knowledge fades without the strength to act". I've spent the last few months in a fog. Things have been so terribly difficult, financially, logistically, practically... God only knows how we survived. But we have survived. We've done pretty well. This rivals the Montana times in my epic saga, but I have to believe good things are on the horizon. Even if Star Trek turns out to be prophecy (look up the Bell Riots) and there's a third world war or a second civil war, I'm hopeful that my kids will survive and make babies of their own that explore space and rebuild humanity with kindness and compassion.
