The times have further confused me and it'll be best if I move slowly and carefully.

I'm with you!

My sister is very much in line with the American "left," and it occurs to me that she stopped speaking with me because I refused to accept the virtue of "speaking out." That is, I sowed silence and I reap silence in return. But on the other hand, how many people remain silent in order to "keep the peace" at, say, Thanksgiving dinner? There's a karma to silence, just as there's a karma to speaking out, but what you get depends on the situation you're in.

In such confused times it's very hard to know how to navigate. I'm glad you're finding divination helpful, I'd be totally lost without it.
