I have so many of the same thoughts and feelings around what's going on as you do, Joe. We see it here, too. How can it be that people, so connected to the earth can suspend critical thought when it comes to their own bodies?

I have so many of the same thoughts and feelings around what's going on as you do, Joe. We see it here, too. How can it be that people, so connected to the earth can suspend critical thought when it comes to their own bodies? I have been around our holistic, regenerative circles and had people ask me to "step back a few feet" as we talked under the sun. I was flabbergasted. I remain so at 20 somethings wearing two masks on their face at a gathering to discuss the biome of mother earth. Not our biome, then, I'm guessing?
I really don't care if someone gets the juice or not. The part that bothers me is the abject fear and hostility around dialogue. We have a daughter in acupuncture school through a TCM (traditional chinese medicine) program. Her own teachers told her that this vaccine is aligned with traditional Chinese practices like acupuncture. But then again, they also said that canola oil is an essential fat and doughnuts were a complete food if you ate tofu with them so, yes, there's that for context.
We have friends that don't want to talk about it. We know their stance, they know ours. I don't mind that. We all seem to be able to just move beyond that. It's the dehumanizing of other that gets me. I was at a bereavement group (of all things) and was told to wear my mask in front of everyone because I was the only one that fessed up to not being vaccinated. Me and twenty other mourning mothers and me with a mask. It was pretty uncomfortable.
I'm glad your kids have you to help them navigate this time. I worry for the kids being raised to believe their own beautiful, powerful bodies are a thing to dominate and fear. What of them? Loyal devotees of the pharma gods.
But then again, I've been to farms that have recycling bins sp
spilling over with diet coke cans and frozen pizza cans. We are such an incongruent lot, us humans. But I won't pretend it doesn't matter and that someone can hold an opinion or a position of equal weight if they do not live what they preach. That's just social conditioning gone amuck. We can pretend that the great equalizer is our reason, but it's really how we live, in the real world anyhow.
