Write about your feelings

 It might be really important (even if you never share this with anyone else) to write about your feelings now.

We are all in a sort of "Altered State" away from normal now. So, writing about what you are experiencing (even if you hide this away somewhere and read it later) might help you cope long term with all the changes we are experiencing not just now but for the rest of our lives associated with these days.

For example, I wrote a lot around the time of 9-11 because it was really crazy then too. For example, we are still at war with the Taliban in Afghanistan almost 20 years later now too.

Here is what I wrote soon after 9-11 happened:

A Poem- From Castles to Cannons
Times have changed
Hopis say swim in the middle of the river
Don't hang onto the banks
Go with the flow
We are all swept away in the new tide
Fighting the changes only brings pain and hurt
Go with the changes
Build a new life from the ashes of the old

A new world paradigm builds
Just as it did in the early 1900's
Everything has changed
And so have we
I find myself trying to cling onto a past now dead
A past I felt secure in
Nothing feels secure like it once did
I remember how feelings of security crashed during the Cuban Missile Crisis
And when the Kennedys and King died
But it was different than this
And those days are gone
I remember then how insecure we all felt in the 60's
None of us expected to live to be 30
Many young people now may feel the same way
But I say to you truly
You will not die
You will just have to find a way to cope with all the changes
Just as we all did in the 60's
Just as people have had to find ways of coping and going on
Throughout all past times
Things are just different now
They are not over
Just different

end quote: "From Castles to Cannons"

In case you didn't understand the reference castles were no longer safe places to be after cannons were invented. It was also no longer safe to wear the armor knights wore then either.

Likewise, when people turn passenger planes into missiles to bring down buildings, this is also a game changer regarding warfare as well.

As I read what I wrote then it is also strangely prophetic of what we face now.

So, if you can write of what you are experiencing and feeling because it might help heal you now like writing this helped heal me then right after 9-11-01.
