Great piece. I am a writer and farmer. I face resistance this morning: I am too tired to write and too achy to feed my cows. But action will get me past it.... :)

I appreciate your testimony, John. An important first step is realizing that Resistance is a universal force that impacts us all. Resistance means nothing other than as you write, action is required.

Amen. We must overcome our personal resistance so as to resist the tyrants at the gate....

Excellent point, John. Epictetus urged us to act our part with honor. We all have a role in resisting tyranny.

Seeking inspiration on this beautiful morning in Massachusetts. Knowing I needed a little help from within or without to "snap out of it." Reread part 1 and now part 2.

Thank you! I always love your words and thoughts.
