Is this the end of the world as we know it?: No. It is the time for even more breakthroughs.

The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.   —WB Yeats, 1919
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. -Carl Sagan, astronomer and writer (9 Nov 1934-1996)
And now, from Deborah O’Connor
Grieve because you must. 
But please do not fall into the abyss of fear that has generated such a dark socio-political stage. Please.
What we have now is our courage and our faith in all who are traveling this rough road with us.
When the dark seems to subsume everything, those of us who still can, must exaggerate Light. 
Every minute of every day we have to chose between fear and love. Breathe love in and out. 
We have no choice but to continue to take the high road—no pointed fingers as we pull ourselves together, literally. Together. There are a lot of us in this together. Find your way toward what feels valuable and good and take your refuge and your stand there. 
In love and peace for all beings,
 
Deborah
