the path ahead, and a lesson of stoicism

OK, the election was a shock for many of us... and some think it is the end of our way of life.  As a naturalist and an anarchist, I often look at the natural world for some guidance; and today I look on this scene as a model.

First, yes, the way ahead is uncertain, I don't know what will happen, but that just makes it an adventure.  We will adapt to the changes and keep moving forward.

Second, I look at how the trees here on the edge of the Great Basin survive the harsh, dry climate.  They grow, live, and survive here where they are planted.  And so will we.  So will we.

The sun still shines, and the crows still dance in the sky above the junipers and pinions.  We shall dance too.

And as an anarchist... I don't care who is POTUS... I will continue to live my life as I will.
