Where's Merry?

Christmas has always been a tough day
for those who live with depression.

That was the ongoing case even before
the orchestrated hijacking of life, better known as 2020.

I can't imagine what the death-math
of this first Covid Christmas will be.


Not that it will be reported with any accuracy, or decency...
...two virtues that might be hiding out with merry.

The bells I hear ringing are the alarms of truth and liberty,
but most of the world seems to confuse them with a reindeer sleigh.

Chimney-like isolation is the gift that comes
with seeing what the virus really is, and knowing there is no mask
that can protect from the hazardous material strewn about
non-stop since March. No amount of garland or tinsel or candy canes
can redeem the news-sewage that's poisoned most minds.

I will not gaslight you with false cheer.

If you feel tired or sad or maybe even worse than that,
it actually means you are very much alive and in-tact!

It means that your awareness is functioning
exactly as it should, alerting you of falsity. 

There is empowerment in this grinchy post, and it is this:

If you can detect it,
you can do something about it.

    The question "How are you?" is PROFOUND.

    ​But it has been watered-down to a synonym for "Hello."

    Forced or fake auto-responses of obligated okay-ness are expected.

    (And if you are going through something tragic, it really doesn't matter! Every social encounter OPENS with this well-established Ritual of Insincerity.)

    The question "How are you?" prompts an answer that begins with "I AM _____________." 

    This means many times each day, you are invited to SPEAK THE MOST POWERFUL STATEMENT that can be spoken of yourself.

    And the socially-expected thing to do, is be QUICK + SLICK with your answer.

    For a change... TAKE YOUR TIME, and tell your truth.
