What were you feeling on Tuesday night as the election map began to glow ominously red?
When it looked like we were in for the worst, and after I stopped panicking, I concluded that the nightmare of the last four years could only continue if I remained in a cognitive 'sleep'. I needed some way to rethink my frame of mind if I were going to survive another four years.
If I just continue, I thought, to be merely reactive to the news, social media, advertisers and everyone else who was trying to grab my attention, then I might never wake up – I might never open my eyes to find the radical acceptance demanded by this moment in time.
Tuesday night I made a commitment to myself.
