In the 1960s I became a great fan of the Transcendentalists, especially Emerson & Thoreau. They became kin who give me comfort and strength in difficult times; they seem present though long dead. Here is an Emerson reminder: "Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little coarse, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble." (Journal, 26 November 1842)

Honestly do not know what to do. Bartender for a year due to convid mandates. Back in the operating room and hate it. Did get an exemption but all I see are organs that look like petrified wood. Coworkers hacking coughs fill the air. Young women with blocked fallopian tubes. Post-menopausal women with heavy bleeding.
