It feels like we are in some kind of frenzy on the planet right now. Frenzy defined as a violent agitation, mania, a craze, temporary madness or delirium. Yes, that is what it can feel like when we hear all the goings on in this moment. Sometimes it can seem hard to discern what is what. If memory serves, we are not used to so much intense calamity piled on top of one another, again and again, over and over. Part of the calamity includes a sense of chaos without any grown up style resolution or problem solving. It feels like we are being constantly pummeled with never-ending gobsmacking events worldwide. We don’t want to become numb but it also is hard to be available daily to process the latest whatever and figure out what action or response might be ours to do. With constant news of chaos and violent acts, it can feel like a hate frenzy of some sort when taken in all at once. Overload and harsh.
And what happens to a frenzy? Does it wear itself out? Get something sobering poured on it suddenly to drop the voltage? And in the face of frenzy, what do the rest of us do? What is the opposite of being in a frenzy or part of one? Being in a calm, cool and collected place? Sounds like we need to pay attention to ourselves, or inner selves to stay in a calm, cool and collected state so as not to feed the frenzy around us, and in the world. And support others around us who also want to stay calm. We can support each other in a frenzied worldwide time. Maybe our calmer energy can help to quiet the frenzied energy? Let us trust that is how this works.
As Winston Churchill said, ” Stay Calm and Carry On”.

Well said Sis,They say we’re moving from the dark Kaliluga Age to the dawning of the Aquarius Age but it can’t come fast enough! They also predicted there would be a WW3 and Israel would be part of triggering it. Who knows but our life span could live to see how it turns out. Hard to believe.
I agree Scott. The end to this frenzy can’t come soon enough.
How to cope? I find myself compartmentalizing–there is that reality “out there” of which I partake but in limited amounts. And then there is my life which I live daily, noting that all the chaos has not yet ruined or disturbed it beyond recognition. That may come. But until then, I try to live by my own values and keep my head above water.
However, having just turned 81, I am pleased to say I hope to be not too long upon this earth to see how far the pendulum moves to the right. This crisis may take centuries, even millennia, to find a true middle. And I’d rather be watching from a safe distance.
Never in my long life did I think to live long enuf to see this world turned so upside down….
Maybe this frenzied chaos could lead to the changes we’d prefer to see and to be a part, and might happen faster and better than we can even imagine?
You are more optimistic than I am, but I do hope you are right.

Yes Anne. Words of wisdom coming through you to all of us. To those of us who want to listen and take time for some stillness in the eye of the tornado, we can support each other and our world through this significant global change. Thank you so much for agelicious and your caring for our planet.
