Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My husband and I took a walk this morning - backwards. I suggested it, and it's funny how I noticed different plants, houses, trees, just because I was heading up instead of down. Psychologically, I bet my desire was to wind 2020 backward and have a redo: my daughter does a trial and it's successful and the cancer is gone, covid is attacked with all our resources and nipped in the bud, the president resigns having discovered his better nature, we have rain all summer and therefore no wildfires, people realize we need each other so the go-it-alone attitude becomes discredited, we decide women are equal and should be paid accordingly, as a country we agree that all of us deserve health care not tied to our jobs or financial situation or race, and police disarm themselves and try to keep the peace by negotiation skills and services that give hope to races previously targeted and violence against women severely declines as the penalties for abuse are strengthened and women start calling out harassers and abusers and are protected at home and in the workplace. Anyone want to walk backwards with me?
