Certainty |

|
This week, we have a fresh dose of certainty. As humans, we don't do so well with the unknown. We seek situations and create new structures for stability. What is agreed is our need for food and shelter and social support. These universal certainties pop to the surface in times of crisis. We know that recovery lies in turning to each other for help. Health and wellness lie at the heart of our thriving society. We fight disease by building strong immunity. We eat well and spend time in quiet nature. Cleaner is always better everywhere. It's time to get back to the basics. Everywhere is the same. Is this not certain? Naturally,
