Oh wow, you nailed this one my friend! You are seeing exactly what I have been experiencing here in Wa state but I am seeing a lot more people opening up and seeing it for what it is and reconnecting with the earth and its toxic environment and dropping off the grid. I am also seeing a lot of long time addicts just suddenly deciding they have had enough and just stopping cold turkey. I work with a lot of healers and we are all feeling a change in progress. Even yourself, wow..just the past few weeks it shows in both your writing and your art. What about what is good about this beautiful planet? If you look for negative it recreates you but if you look for beauty and goodness, you create it.
