I know, Earth Day “should” be about saving the Earth, and rightly so. Then there is the mind of ill people, sucked into the depths of yuck-and-muck. What if we used Earth Day to celebrate the Earth, regardless of chronic illness? What if we could use the day as a vehicle to mind travel, wanderlust.

We suffer needlessly until we fully understand that life simply is not fair, never has been, never will be, not here on earth. Some people will be stricken with chronic illness and others won’t.
