I love Greta Thunberg, she's the Joan d'Arc of our times for climate change and climate understanding. 

Meditated at 4:45 AM this morning on sympathetic joy. Hard to see a lot of joy in the world, but still strive to connect. Many sinking and defeatist narratives. I know every time a lefty gets in office, the conservative people really suffer. Hasn't really happened in my lifetime, but I know people really hated FDR, even though he's a hero to me. Political reality colors things. Current far right wing is really causing mental suffering for the left, and immigrants, and all sorts of people. Things are going to be bad for a while. That statement doesn't have to be true, and you can still be open to action for the good and seek to find the light. 

5% moon didn't rise while I was meditating and can't really be see in the daytime sky, looking out for it, the sun is blinding. The new moon must be tomorrow when lunar new year is being celebrated.

Doing homework with my daughter, missed sitting with Shams.
