think you mentioned recently how one of
your fav moments is when the power went out

this is one of my fam's / my fav moments too
bc we came together (huddled like children telling stories),
thought outside the box, remembered the ways & days of old, appreciating each other in the moment, it was exciting!

i think the consciousness is coming together on this,
bc 'survival' brings out some wholesome & togetherness vibes, appreciating simplicity, the old ways & values,
and, i suspect w/ some, almost as if it were a welcome release from their former prison of convenience and inured habits
(it was for me and my family that cold few days one winter)

could be a whole new collective backlash / grassroots
of the spirit of innovation and community :)
