Time doesn’t necessarily heal all wounds, but “The Times” reveal all wounds. The pandemic is certainly revealing all those unresolved issues that were so neatly tucked away under the blanket of cash, cachet, and mostly control. We all have one or two basic Core Confusions that we live from and if you’ve got one side, you also…
Introspection, retrospection, and daily reflection has become the new normal and a sweet journey.
