Just bearing down for what comes next.

This philosophy has an unusual effect on me, for some reason it calms me down, just seeing the words or symbols.

I agree that this is applicable to our current situation, I do hope that people are able to channel their anger into an intensified determination to overcome this horrible... situation.

-- not much has changed.

From the I Ching (I believe):

Change is the unchangeable.

and

Times change and with them their demands.

(Where there's life there's hope!)

as careful as if wading through a wintry stream,
alert like people who sense danger all around,
as respectful as guests before their host,
changing like melting ice,
as unpretentious as uncarved wood,
empty like valleys,
and as unexciting as mud puddles
