This is so beautifully stated. Thank you. I definitely count myself among the many who are feeling this way. The mood of a culture and a society is definitely able to be felt, especially by those of us who are sensitive empaths. I keep thinking of that wonderful quote from the beautiful Princess Diana, whom upon meeting with Aids patients, back in the 80s, said “It’s okay to hug someone with Aids, goodness knows they need it.” Right now, collectively, it feels like the entire world needs the biggest hug ever.
