WELLNESS: It’s being here now that’s important. There’s no past and there’s no future. Time is a very misleading thing. All there is ever, is the now. We can gain experience from the past, but we can’t relive it; and we can hope for the future, but we don’t know if there is one.
WORD: Exculpatory

HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2022 - A jury in federal court convicted Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the far-right militia, and one of his subordinates for a plot to keep Donald Trump in power. 2020 - The Utah monolith disappeared. 2001 - George Harrison died at age 58 following a battle with cancer. 1981 - Actress Natalie Wood died under mysterious circumstances at the age of 43 during the making of Brainstorm. She had been on a weekend boat trip to Santa Catalina Island on board her husband Robert Wagner’s 58-foot motor yacht, Splendour. Other than the fact that she drowned, many of the circumstances are unknown; for example, it has never been determined how she entered the water. Wood was with Wagner, Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken, and Splendour’s captain Dennis Davern on the evening of November 28. Authorities recovered her body at 8 a.m. on November 29, one mile away from the boat, with a small Valiant-brand inflatable dinghy beached nearby. Wagner said that she was not with him when he went to bed. The autopsy report revealed that she had bruises on her body and arms, as well as an abrasion on her left cheek, but no indication as to how or when the injuries occurred. 1972 – Atari announced the release of Pong, the first commercially successful video game. 1963 - President Johnson named a commission headed by Chief Justice Earl Warren to investigate the assassination of President John F.
