Calm Among the Chaos



Current State of Affairs...

I'll not write anything to further muddy the already murky waters of information about this Corvid-19 situation. I'll only say that you should be paying attention to what's going on, remain vigilant, stay informed, and keep your baseline.

There are some serious things happening that we need to pay attention to on many fronts regarding the safety of our health, economy and society. 

You've heard me say this before, but...

Especially during times of concern (like what's going on currently like): Mass closings, schools shutting down for weeks at a time, stock market crashing, travel advisories, quarantines and the like... 

It's easy to get nervous, spooked and become irrational.

It is important to stay informed with up to date information from credible sources  like the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and local, state and federal authorities. 

There are many people trying to get this situational under control on many fronts, so we can all do our part. However, things continue to develop, so not everything is not clear at this time. 

This makes things difficult to decide what is the right thing to do.

And...

I understand! I'm going through a bit of that myself.


However...


Hang In There!


Don't lose your grip. 

Maintain your composure and know that you can Improvise, Adapt and Overcome adversities like these...

We have before and shall again...

Just play things smart and be there for others who need help in these times of stress and concern. 

This is a time for us to step up, stand together and lead from the front. 

What does that look like?

It's different for each of us.

What it looks like for one person, might be totally different from someone else.

Even if you find yourself having a differing opinion on what's going on, let's try to stay together as much as we can and not bicker about the small things. 

Stay focused on the bigger picture.

This is a good time to practice being a PeaceWalker in real time! 

That's enough from me right now...

Hang in there!

Step up and remember that you are resilient and...


Keep going,
~Craig

Are people from Crete Creteans??

Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open. Geeze, you'd think that they would have at least discounted their entry price, but noooooooo! Oh well. I at least had a real

What's Your Rosebud?

  One of my favorite classic movies is: "Citizen Kane" It starred Orson Welles. [NOTE: spoiler ahead - if you haven't seen it] And, was about the life and legacy of a powerful newspaper publisher, based partly on the late William Randolph Hearst. The movie starts with Charles Foster Kane dying, with his last word being "Rosebud" — and the entire movie is this sort of question of what "Rosebud" is. Turns out it was simply the trade name of a cheap little sled on which Kane was playing on the day he was taken away from his home and his mother as a child. Welles revealed in an interview: "In his subconscious it represented the simplicity, the comfort, above all the lack of responsibility in his home, and also it stood for his mother's love which Kane never lost." The point? We All Have Our Rosebud That thing, moment, or whatever it is that anchors, drives, guides, or inspires you.  For example, the late Johnny Carson and the book of magic tr

You'll Never Guess What This Parrot Said!

  The Parrot Three sons left home, went out on their own and prospered. Getting back together, they discussed the gifts they were able to give their elderly Mother. . The first said,  "I built a big house for our Mother." . The second said, " I sent her a Mercedes with a driver." . The third smiled and said,  "I've got you, both beat. You know how Mom enjoys the Bible, and you know she can't see very well. I sent her a parrot that can recite the entire Bible. It took 20 monks in a Monastery 12 years to teach him. I had to pledge to contribute $5,000 a year for 10 years, but it was worth it. Mom just has to name the chapter and verse, and the parrot will recite it." . Soon thereafter, Mom sent out her letters of thanks: "Dearest First Son,"  she wrote the first son,  "the house you built is so huge. I live in only one room, but have to clean the whole house." . " Dearest Second Son,"  she wrote to another,  "I am t
