Who are you? How do you conduct yourself in this lifetime? With all this quarantine time...I’m going back and finding unedited ideas that seem to fit this current calamity. I recorded this video with one of my longest friends in this life of mine. Joe is living with a form of thyroid cancer. He has been in this health crisis for over 10 years. I see him as a modern day hero. Quietly striving to live despite the suffering. The music you hear in this video was recently recorded by him, the song is called ‘Evening’. I find the song hopeful but some how layered with sad haunting truth. Listening to the song leaves me on the edge of crying, it feels like resilience despite what life throws at us.
After Steemfest in Bangkok this year i decided to go visit Joe for a few days. (He has an account on Steem/hive 
We went for a walk on a brisk fall day and ended up in a very old cemetery, that had some of the original settlers of Binghamton N.Y.
This day our conversation led down a path talking about community, and being good humans.
Some of my thoughts seem so pertinent to what we face these days on planet earth.
I’m not here to debate conspiracy theories. The effects of Corona Virus are real whether it was manufactured or not. The economic realties are real and will be long lasting. Now more than ever we need humans with integrity. We need the best sides of our human selves to come to the surface.
