Anxiety Eve

It’s the night before the most important US Presidential election of my lifetime.

The entire world has a stake in the outcome: a decent and adequate leader with sound values and qualifications versus a mad, incoherent, hateful man obsessed with prosecuting his grievances and who has surrounded himself with truly terrifying, fascist ideologues.

Tomorrow, we vote, the polls close and then we count.

To me, this is still Hallows season. We’re watching a creepy movie to escape.

And we’ve already filled out our ballots to drop off tomorrow (California is all vote-by-mail).

So now, we wait.

Gotta work through tomorrow, thinking about people voting, wondering about the outcomes.

I’m hosting a Zoom gathering tomorrow night, starting at 5 Pacific time, at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8736208056 . A way for us to get through this together.

I hope you will join us.

May fortune smile on all our futures.
