Happy Thanksgiving from Nowhere, CA

Friends,
It’s Thanksgiving evening and as I was reflecting today on the many friends, family, and people I’m grateful for in this past year, I wanted to kindly express a heartfelt, "Thank you!" to each one of you.

I honestly believe that our friends and fans are among the greatest people in the world. The way you live, the way you love, the way you do your best in all things. People of different faiths, values, and backgrounds. People who’ve left faith behind. Philosophers, Poets, Musicians, Teachers, Students, Thinkers, Artists, Atheists, Scientists, Technicians, Workers in every industry. Families together, families apart, and those on their own. Parents, Kids, Grandparents. Different races. Different countries, cities, languages. It’s astonishing to me. And I’ve discovered that our friends and fans are mostly, people who believe in love over all things.

There is so much more in the world that connects each of us in very deep ways.
I love it. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate.

Two quick updates for those of you who don't wish to dive deeper, I'll go into more details on this page.

Anguish:
Definition from Atlas of the Heart

“An almost unbearable and traumatic swirl of shock, incredulity, grief, and powerlessness.
Incredulity is like “you can’t believe it’s happening; in that moment completely taking your breath away so that you cannot breathe”

“The Grief and powerlessness of anguish, steals your mind and your heart”.

Anguish doesn’t just come for our breath and our heart and our mind;
Anguish comes for our bones.

The very real human response to anguish is a crumpling upon ourselves…normally a collapsing to the ground.
