The double-bind of gloom
The author Margaret Atwood called it "the Sluggish Wave," it was Winston Churchill’s "Black Dog," and some have referred to it as a wet rubber blanket. In my new children's book, I called it The Beast of Gloom.

“Beyond the warmth of sunshine and joy,
beyond the fun of favorite toys,
There lurks a Beast of darkness and gloom,
A Beast so large, he can fill up the room.”

“The pandemic and the growth in technology have compounded the evolution of more polarized views. We have seen an uptick in the encroachment of each other’s boundaries, discrimination, and outright violence. But we don’t just get to blame the new kids on the block. We already had these issues to begin with, and clearly the pandemic hit certain communities harder than others, communities that were already suffering long before the pandemic.”

“We have always constructed labyrinthian prisons of fears and assumptions, but the evolution of technology has taken us further from the wisdom and natural rhythms that we can find within.”

“Your mind does not exist in a vacuum. We live in a world of polarized views, discrimination, and privilege, and so no mind can be free without an assessment of the part we play in all of this. We are, after all, as interconnected to each other as we are to the environment we pollute.”

“Our intolerance of uncertainty can leave us clutching at any form of certainty, and research shows that the certainty of fundamentalist religions, extreme political groups, radical interest groups, and conspiracy theorists can offer a tempting relief to our anxiety. There may be a part of us that knows what is being offered is not the whole truth, because it is so polished and oversimplified, but we prefer claiming to know rather than admit that, for a great deal of life, we cannot know.”

“Research shows that rates of anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict decrease when you feel a sense of autonomy and authenticity, when you see the keys to freedom sitting in your hands.”
