I read an interesting article in the New York Times today https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/19/well/mind/happiness-emotions-reward-sensitivity.html about how to practice happiness. I’m seeing (and feeling) a lot of anger now, in myself, and in others. It feels like an appropriate response to what is happening to our culture right now, but I sometimes feel I’m drowning in it.

Aerial Aspirations
I’ve always wanted to fly. I’m not talking about taking a plane somewhere, dealing with crowds, stale air and cramped seats. No, I’m talking about spreading powerful wings and taking to the air.
