Ah, let me rephrase that. I should have asked, where the hell had I been? Under a rock? Head in the sand? No, actually just out of touch.

If you read my blog dated, July 10, 2024, regarding David Gilmour, then you know that I had watched his recently posted videos on YouTube. Not only that, but I’ve also listened to an in-depth interview with David, conducted by John Edington, focusing on Sid Barret, a long, lost soul of the first incarnation of Pink Floyd. It’s a sad story, and one that I won’t get into here, for I don’t want to digress…

“We never landed on the moon.” “Climate change is a hoax.” “Vaccines are ineffective.” Our culture feels riddled with anti-science sentiment and there’s no one factor to blame or easy solution to address it.

Dr. Paul Sutter, one of my favorites, breaks down the societal elements in play and interviews some of his contemporaries to get a sense of where we go from here.

Let’s start the morning by turning on a light – the light within your heart, the light within your soul. However, if you’re feeling a bit down today, then let me show you the many ways to relight that fire within you.

At times it may seem difficult or even impossible, however, we are often the culprits, our own worst enemies, because we’ve allowed the national news, politicians, social media, etc., into our daily lives, into our homes. However, you don’t have to let the naysayers win, because you still have control over your life, and not vice-versa. Remember, the sun still rises each day, it’s just that sometimes it’s obscured by clouds.
