— by Lin McNulty Managing Editor —

Think 2018 was a crazy year? Yeah, me, too. Are you concerned that 2019 may be even crazier? Chances are that feeling in your gut is correct; after all, it usually is.

So here is the absolute best gift I could think to give to anyone. I recommend headphones; I recommend listening deeply; I recommend breathing. Slow, deep breaths.

Remember: (1) “nothing is the end of the world except the end of the world” (–Barack Obama); and (2) everything turns out OK in the end; if it’s not OK, it’s not the end.

May the new year bring cooperative flocking.
