My journey reveals something difficult. 

It goes without saying that we all WISH that the problem of Atmospheric Carbon Poisoning did not exist. 

But that wish is so great, that most people are vulnerable to denial of the truth. And that's the case. In the USA, we have effectively imposed a societal ban on authentic discussion of this problem. 

Even the Buddhist community representatives who are identifying themselves as environmentalists are allowing themselves to adhere to a fictional view of the problem because the truth is unbearable to themselves. 

I'm not a Doomer or a Quitter. I'm a Fighter who is taking responsibility to fix this shit for my kids whether they like it or not. But I have to say that the near ubiquitous denial of the magnitude of the disease is not conducive to summoning the political will necessary to fight it. 

I need to take a little break and empty out and make space for some inspiration and a new path forward. For some reason, I have faith that an answer will come. 

Thanks to the 74 of you who have shown some solidarity thus far.
