“we stand at a crossroads.
do we choose ‘the will to power’
or ‘the will to humanity,’
or perhaps a new configuration of both:
the power of humanity?”

the power of humanity.
I have my glasses on.... 
I worry about which way you guys are going to go over the next four years.

After such a long downhill slide, I hope we pick the uphill path. The walking is harder, but the destination has a much better view. I chose yesterday by mail. Great post, as always, Beth!

We seem to be at a crossroads on several levels at the moment. I’m hoping the view will be blessed with rather more sunshine by this time next month !

I think we are always at a crossroad and things can change so suddenly but I would hope for a path like the quote suggests where two paths converge and the ideologies of the left and right kiss and make up 🙂

That’s ONE crossroad easy to decide on, isn’t it? I think I’d be crazy being American these times….. I so worry for all of you and follow far too much for your future.

As an American living in the UK I’m really worried about my daughter who are living in Florida. It’s crazy over there, but I won’t go into politics on someone else’s blog.

I’m Swiss, living now since only a few months again in Switzerland, having friends on three continents and many countries, having lived in UK and France as well as Canada and being widely travelled too, i worry ALL tHE TiME, for everybody, my frien ds everywhere and although I’m a deeply apolitical person, you CANNOT be stumm with all the horrible stuff going on elsewhere. Hero husband and i have divided and exchange our views on politics, he’s always top informed on what goes on in uk and i keep up with the merde going on in the US. I’m just glad that we don’t have to worry overly any longer about the French going ons… just keep in close contact with your daughter, keep talking to each other and give each other the joy of sharing the daily small stuff.

As Mr. Berra said: “When you come to the fork in the road, take it.” I think we need to take the ‘will to protect our planet’ fork. Humanity has already done enough damage.

The one thing I am sure of is that if global politics don’t change and we don’t start to take more care of this precious planet that we call home, as well as taking care of others, we are going to remain on a downhill spiral.
