BRIGHT IDEA As leaders worldwide search for ways to encourage people to stay home during the coronavirus pandemic, officials in Indonesia are taking advantage of its citizens’ superstitions, Reuters reported on April 13. Kepuh, a village on Java island, is employing village residents to dress as “pocong,” or the trapped souls of the dead, in Indonesian folklore.

The ghostly figures, wrapped in white shrouds with their heads covered and dark-rimmed eyes peering out, surprise unsuspecting pedestrians, then disappear into the night. The strategy appears to be working: Villagers have been seen running off in fright when the pocong appear. “People will not gather or stay on the streets after evening prayers,” resident Karno Supadmo said.

DESPERATE MEASURES Olive Veronesi, 93, of Seminole, Pennsylvania, wasn’t shy about letting loved ones know what she needed during the lockdown. “I need more beer!” read a sign she held up, along with a can of Coors Light. A relative posted Veronesi’s photo to social media, KDKA reported, and her predicament went viral. “I have a beer every night....I was on my last 12 cans. You know what, beer has vitamins in it. It’s good for you, only don’t overdo it,” Veronesi said. On April 13, she got her wish: Molson Coors delivered 10 cases of her favorite brew to her front door. Her new sign reads, “Got more beer!”

NAMES IN THE NEWS A baby born on April 6 in Sheopur, Bhopal, India, will carry a special name with him through his life: Lockdown.

Manju Mail, his mother, confi rmed to hospital staff: “Yes, he is Lockdown, as he was born during the lockdown period.” Her husband, Raghunath, told The Times of India: “It is a significant name. The whole world using lockdown as a means to stem this pandemic. We should not take Lockdown lightly.”

SYMBOLISM Similarly, in Chhattisgarh, India, another couple blessed their twins, born March 27, with timely names: Corona and Covid. Preeti Verma, 27, told the Press Trust of India her children’s names symbolize triumph over hardships.

“Indeed the virus is dangerous and life-threatening, but its outbreak made people focus on sanitation, hygiene and inculcate other good habits,” she said.

THE CONTINUING CRISIS Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a home in Saugus, California, on April 7 after a dispute

over toilet paper turned violent, CNN reported. A 26-year-old man was arrested and charged with battery after his mother told deputies he had punched her. Sheriff’s department spokesperson Shirley Miller said the man had accused his mother of hiding toilet paper, which she admitted to deputies, saying her son was using too much. “This is the fi rst arrest I’ve heard of that started out over an argument over toilet paper,” remarked Miller.

GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT Civic-minded car designer Kanyaboyina Sudhakar of the Sudha Cars Museum in Bahadurpura, India, has built a one-seat vehicle in the shape of the coronavirus “so that awareness can be spread on social distancing,” he told The Times of India on April 8. The six-wheeled Corona Car can go about 25 mph and took Sudhakar 10 days to build. “I have always made cars to give back to the society in my own way,” Sudhakar said. “(I)t is important to tell people to stay home and stay safe, and the coronavirus car is meant to convey the message.”

PRIORITIES As tornadoes bore down on the Southeast on April 12, an unnamed family sought safety in a storm shelter in Crossville, Alabama, but said they were turned away when they had only one face mask. The woman told WHNT a man who opened the door asked if they had masks. “I said I have one mask,” the woman said. “He motioned no and shut the door.” The family ran back to their car and looked for shelter elsewhere. Crossville Mayor Tera Fortenberry had posted the face coverings requirement on Facebook, but the family didn’t see the message. After the story became public, masks were donated to the town anonymously.

BURIED TREASURE A man in Heckmondwike, West Yorkshire, England, set out to build a deck in his back garden in early April and uncovered a mystery. As John Brayshaw, 40, began digging post holes, he unearthed an automobile buried on its side, Yahoo News UK reported. “I thought it was an old air raid shelter at fi rst, then I saw the roof,” Brayshaw said.

“Then I kept digging and saw the door, the steering wheel and realized it was a full car, complete with the registration plate. The only thing that was missing was the wheels.” Brayshaw, who has owned the home for about six months, believes the 1955/56 Ford predates the previous owners, who resided in the home 50 years.

Coconut Wireless As Governor David Ige f loated the idea of pay cuts for teachers and other state employees last week, the Hawai'i State Commission on the Status of Women offered a different take on how the state should cope with economic losses from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unlike the governor’s proposal to recover anticipated budget shortfalls by skimming the paychecks of already underpaid workers, many of whom are on the frontlines of the crisis, the HSCSW recommendations start by centering women, who work in large numbers in caregiving, healthcare, education, social service, and food service jobs which remain at work.

“The road to economic recovery should not be across women’s backs,” the report, titled Building Bridges, Not Walking on Backs: A Feminist Economic Recovery Plan for COVID-19 begins.

While women are deeply affected

by COVID-19 because of their disproportionate representation in areas such as domestic services, health care, and social services, the challenges they face are multi-faceted. “[W]omen in our communities have never been busier taking care of loved ones, provisioning supplies, and finding ways to offset the enormous economic and social burdens of this time,” states the report. “These aspects of the economy usually go uncounted and hidden yet there would be no economy without these activities.”

At the same time, financial vulnerability and stay-at-home orders have also increased the risk of exploitation and abuse “Women’s health, livelihoods and bodily integrity are also particularly at risk during this time due to reports of increased domestic violence, sex trafficking including sexual harassment and coercion by landlords, interruptions to abortion access on the neighbor islands, women’s roles caring for the ill

'THIS IS OUR MOMENT': COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN PROPOSES A FEMINIST COVID RECOVERY

and other longstanding gender inequalities,” states the report.

To the HSCSW this all goes to illustrate that any recovery effort that excludes an analysis of gender and does not actively seek the perspectives of organizations working with women is ill-suited to completely address the social and economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

HSCSW identifies the current moment as a unique time to highlight the importance of gender issues, pay, “essential” yet underpaid workers, and social services.

“The COVID-19 response and recovery plan sets the stage for a series of what could be some of the most important and transformative policy decisions that Hawai‘i and the world have the opportunity to enact,” it states. “This is our moment to build a system that is capable of delivering gender equality. It is time to center gender in the nation’s rising racial and economic justice movements.” “[W]e are witnessing the social re-valuing, in limited terms, of certain forms of work that have been structured and siloed into the most low-paid occupations such as caregiving, government administration, food and delivery services.”

Read the full report at Humanservices.hawaii.gov/hscsw.

Key recommendations from the HSCSW report include: 1. Build a feminist COVID-19

response and recovery plan to include input from the impacted, essential sectors that employ a majority of women, and organizations that serve women, girls and people who identify as women, femme and nonbinary 2. To contain costs or enhance revenue the state should avoid austerity or fiscal consolidation measures and ensure no cuts to social services.

3. Shift from reliance on a precarious tourism industry, support displaced workers via an adjustment fund for retraining and professional mobility, and support social entrepreneurship approaches.

Enhance women’s access to capital and invest in subsistence living.

4. Use federal stimulus funds to promote reform and programs for parents and caregivers, housing, Native Hawaiians, and more.

5. To diversify and reshape the economy away from military, tourism, and luxury development, while building the state's social infrastructure (childcare, education, and healthcare). Raise the minimum wage to a livable wage, offer paid family and sick leave, and center food selfsufficiency programs.

MAUI FOOD HUB LAUNCHES TO CONNECT PEOPLE AND FARMS

Farmers have also been acutely affected during the pandemic, and are exploring unique solutions to help meet their needs. The Maui

Food Hub is one such project that launched last week Friday under the direction of the Hawai'i Farmers Union United and in collaboration with farmers and nonprofits across Maui. The hub, which is accessible at Mauifoodhubs.org, has long been the dream of the farmers on Maui, but a community-based response to the COVID-19 crisis helped speed along the project's fruition.

“Hard times tend to bring out the best and worst in people. Here’s a great example of the best,” said John Dobovan, president of the Haleakala Chapter of the Hawai’i Farmers Union United. “When our restaurants shut down last month a lot of people were suddenly out of work. Among the hardest hit were our local farmers, many of whom were deeply invested in crop production for a market that had disappeared literally overnight.

With their cash tied up in a crop they had nowhere to sell, many farms faced catastrophe.”

The Haleakala Chapter already had a food hub committee in place, and took charge with collaboration from Hana, Lahaina, and Mauna Kahalawai chapters of the HFUU. Produce can be ordered online, and drive-through pickups are scheduled at locations across the island.

“It is our intention that the Maui Food Hubs will become a permanent part of our community, serving as a conduit for fresh local food direct from farmer to consumer,” said Vincent Mina, state president of Hawai'i Farmers Union United. “We can offer delicious, nutritious food at a reasonable price and give our farmers much better support than they have previously received. We need to make family farming a viable enterprise for everybody’s sake in aggregating and distributing though a network of food hubs, sharing what we grow and raise locally throughout the island and state.” ■ editor@mauitime.com

Gov. Ige Talks Cuts THE GOVERNOR RECEIVES CRITICISM FOR PROPOSALS TO CUT PAY FOR PUBLIC WORKERS

PHOTO COURTESY MAUITIME

P

resumably thinking he’s got nothing left to lose politically in the second half of his final term, Governor David Ige last week unveiled one of his most brazen (read: worst) proposals yet and suggested that all public workers – including teachers and first responders – take a pay cut to make up for anticipated budget shortfalls due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

News of the cuts first spread quickly within labor unions, which notified workers of the governor’s suggestion.

“In a meeting at the state Capitol, we were informed that the governor wants to implement a 20-percent salary cut for most public employees, including educators, and a 10-percent cut for first responders, such as police officers, firefighters, nurses, and EMTs,” wrote Corey Rosenlee, president of the teachers union Hawaii State Teacher’s Association (HSTA), in a letter to its members Tuesday, April 14. “These cuts could occur as early as May 1.”

“This is unacceptable,” Rosenlee added. “While we recognize the coronavirus has already started to cripple Hawai'i’s economy, no one can be sure of its long-term impacts.

We believe cutting salaries for tens of thousands of state workers is rash and will hurt our state even more.”

Hawai'i’s teachers have the lowest salaries in the nation when cost of living is factored in, reported the National Education Association in February. Cutting those already low salaries will continue to exacerbate the state’s chronic teacher shortage, Rosenlee said.

“A 20-percent salary reduction would result in the loss of between $600 and $1,800 in monthly income for our educators. Salaries for Hawai'i’s public school educators are already low, and cutting an additional 20 percent will inevitably worsen Hawai'i’s teacher shortage crisis, denying our keiki the quality educators they deserve,” he wrote.

Rosenlee pointed to other sources of cash. “Hawai'i has access to additional resources,” he wrote. “At the close of last fiscal year, Hawai'i had a cash surplus and rainy day fund totaling more than $1 billion. Congress recently appropriated $863 million to our

Gov. Ige is considering pay cuts for teachers, first responders, and other public workers

state government with hundreds of millions more for our counties as part of a $2 trillion stimulus package – and lawmakers are discussing additional stimulus funding.”

Randy Perreira, executive director of the state's largest public sector union, Hawai'i Government Employees Association (HGEA), was direct about his opinion of the governor.

“Frankly folks, I have lost all confidence that this administration is gonna pull us out of this problem,” he said in a video April 14. “That's a strong statement, but just like other things that we have seen throughout the tenure of this governor, there's no plan.”

Perreira was right about the absence of a plan. On Wednesday, April 15, Ige presented the idea of pay cuts for public employees to the public during his regularly scheduled news conference, adding that “discussions are ongoing” and that no plan for pay cuts or furloughs has yet been finalized.

Ige commented on the news of pay cuts at the top of the conference, after thanking public workers for their “efforts and unwavering support of the people of Hawai'i.”

“Let me be very frank with you,” he said. [T]he main sources of state revenue have been drastically reduced. State government needs to look very differently going forward.

I've begun initial conversations with the Legislature and the unions that represent you, but no decisions have been made yet.”

Ige highlighted some of the costs of the COVID-19 crisis, such as the more than 200,000 unemployment claims that have been filed in the state, and $11 million in unemployment benefits that were distributed during the week of April 5. Plus, due to decreased tax revenues, the state is expecting a budget shortfall of about $1.5 billion over the next 15 months.

Still, even among legislators, the proposal was unpopular. State Senate President Ron Kouchi and State House Speaker Scott Saiki issued a joint statement April 15 urging the governor to assess other options.

“Although Governor Ige has the unilateral authority to impose furloughs and salary cuts, we do not agree with such action,” they wrote.

“We urge the Governor to obtain better data and analysis before he makes this decision. We also urge him to act on all alternatives, just as the National Governors Association did when it called on Congress four days ago to provide an additional $500 billion to the 50 states to stabilize state budgets due to tax revenue shortfalls.

“Although we disagree with Governor Ige’s proposal, the Legislature

will work with him to assess and pursue all options.”

The governor's math also did little to rationalize the cuts to his critics, who placed the proposal next to other blunders of Ige’s career, which include the false missile alert and his handling of protests against the Thirty Meter Telescope at Maunakea. “[S]tarting the conversation with pay cuts to state workers including the teachers (as well as a proposed 10 proposed pay cut for first-responders such as Hawaii State Hospital workers and sheriffs) is either a ‘go in hard’ negotiating strategy...or more of Ige’s ham-handed, empathy-challenged style,” wrote Star Advertiser columnist Lee Cataluna.

Writing for Civil Beat, Trisha Kehaulani Watson said “There’s no doubt that the budget needs to be balanced, but surely someone in government must have the wherewithal to know that the first swing should not include low-level state workers who may already be struggling to get by.”

Watson fired shots at Ige’s leadership.

“This crisis has emphasized why political leaders need to be incredibly smart, skilled and strong,” she wrote.

“When a crisis hits, we should have our best at the helm. I can’t imagine anyone thinking this is the case right now. We have for too long tolerated an administration packed with political allies rather than skilled administrators.”

And now, that tolerance of the Ige Administration has caused a situation where essential workers are faced with additional uncertainty during a global crisis, in the form of threats of pay cuts or furloughs. If anything, though, the crisis has revealed a need for the opposite: a different ethic that doesn’t seek to make up budget shortfalls by first placing the burden on the underpaid and essential workers – one that re-values the worker’s importance in our society and the need for livable wages for all, down to the last fast food worker, cleaner, and grocery store bagger. ■ editor@mauitime.com

Art of Trash

The Art of Trash is one of my favorite art shows to visit. I eagerly anticipate the wild and wonderful ways people make art from trash. Although it was a huge disappointment that the shut down was going to affect the art show, Malama Maui Nui found a way to make lemonade out of lemons, and will be launching this year’s Art of Trash Show online.

This year's theme is “What is Waste?” The show launches on their website, Wednesday, April 22 at Malamamauinui.org/artoftrash.html.

The Good Dinosaur Enemy ★★★★★ Rated R/91 Min.

n Denis Villeneuve’s Enemy, Adam is a college professor (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) who lives in Toronto with his beautiful girlfriend (played by Melanie Laurent). One day during lunch, a colleague gives Adam a movie recommendation. That evening, while watching the film in question, Adam is stunned to find an actor in the movie who looks exactly like him. Upon investigation, Adam discovers that the actor doesn’t live very far away and has a voice that also sounds exactly like his own. Should he meet his “double” or would approaching someone who looked like your twin only lead to trouble?

Enemy made me recall a lively conversation I had a year ago with an old friend. She asked me if I’d ever clone myself and, taking a dark but tongue-incheek turn, I told her I’d be thinking of murdering my clone from the moment I met him. Why? Because I don’t trust “myself,” or a copy of myself, to do the right thing. I’d be waiting for the moment my clone would turn on me and try to become the only one of us to exist.

Allow me to stress this point: I was kidding when I told her this, but it does present a troubling idea. Could I be friends with someone who is identical to me in every way, but not a sibling? Say, statistically, there is someone, somewhere in the world, right now, who looks and sounds exactly LIKE YOU. Would you want to meet this person? Befriend him or her?

Enemy is about all of that and doesn’t shy away from any of those creepy questions. No, I didn’t spoil it a paragraph ago: The movie isn’t about cloning, though Gyllenhaal plays both Adam and Anthony and it's one of his most impressive, beautifully crafted, and intense performances. The visual effects on hand are excellent, though the real trick is that Gyllenhaal shapes two very different characters who just happen to look exactly alike.

Denis Villeneuve’s hypnotic thriller is akin to a page-turner you can’t put down.

Repeat viewings are essential. I didn’t care for the yellow hue the film was shot in –

I

whether Villeneuve wanted to establish Adam’s drab existence or thought the movie needed this kind of texturing, it makes a captivating film look dreary at times. It’s the only misstep.

Villeneuve went on to make the Hugh Jackman-led Prisoners, the drug cartel epic Sicario, the Amy Adams sci-fi drama Arrival, and the phenomenal Blade Runner 2049. He’s on a roll: This Christmas, his all-star, two-part take on Frank Herbert’s Dune arrives in theaters. Of his English language films, Enemy is a hidden gem and, if you’re a fan, every bit as essential as the rest. His themes searching for our true identity and longing for existential clarity are there.

I won’t describe the final scene, except to say I don’t know what it means, and I find it terrifying. Prepare yourself and see it with (socially distant) friends who like great post-conversations after the movie. Of course, you need to make sure these are friends you trust, who don’t look exactly like you. (On Netflix) A Pixar Sleeper: When The Good Dinosaur hit theaters five years ago, it was met with audience indifference and readily dismissed by bad press. It had been a “troubled” production, and the blend of photo-realistic settings, combined with cute, whimsical character designs, turned some off. Money-wise, it’s the only title in the Pixar catalog that flopped. What was deemed a respectable miss in 2015 has aged beautifully. After too many sequels and artistic duds, it stands as one of Pixar’s boldest films. Both gritty and hilarious, the story of a dinosaur, born a size too small and having to survive alone in an unforgiving world, emerges a newfound classic. (On Disney Plus) For Cat Lovers: Kedi is a lovely, refreshingly sweet, and compassionate documentary on street and domestic cats adored by citizens in Istanbul. This Turkish film has a calming effect and will be cinematic cat nip for all feline lovers. After a while, it feels like the most gorgeously shot YouTube cat video, though the felines and their encounters never become interchangeable. It demonstrates how kindness towards animals is a choice, that their presence has a healthy effect and provides a reciprocated comfort and companionship.

by Rob Brezsny ARIES (MAR. 21-APR. 19) In the future, when the coronavirus crisis has a diminished power to disrupt our lives, I would love for you to have more of the money you need to finance interesting new experiences that help you learn and thrive. Now is a good time to brainstorm about how you might arrange for that to happen.

For best results, begin your meditations with vivid fantasies in which you envision yourself doing those interesting new experiences that will help you learn and thrive

INTRODUCING

ROB BREZSNY’S Free Will Astrology

FREEWILLASTROLOGY.COM

All 80’s All The Time

TAURUS (APR. 20-MAY 20) Renowned Taurus composer Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) completed his first symphony when he was 43 years old – even though he’d started work on it at age 22. Why did it take him so long?

One factor was his reverence for Ludwig van Beethoven, the composer who had such a huge impact on the development of classical music. In light of Beethoven’s mastery, Brahms felt unworthy.

How could any composer add new musical ideas that Beethoven hadn’t already created? But after more than two decades, Brahms finally managed to overcome his inhibition. He eventually produced four symphonies and scores of other pieces, and left a major mark on musical history. For you, Taurus, I see the coming months as a phase comparable to the time when Brahms finally built the strength necessary to emerge from the shadow that had inhibited him.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN. 20) A Gemini friend sent me and three of her other allies a poignant email. “This note is a tender apology to those of you whom I’ve hurt in the process of hurting myself,” she began. “I want you to know that I have been working hard and with great success to eliminate my unconscious tendency to hurt myself. And I am confident this means I will also treat you very well in the future.”

I received her message with joy and appreciation.

Her action was brave and wise. I invite you to consider making a comparable adjustment in the weeks ahead.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) The Ojibwe are indigenous people of North America. Professor of Ojibwe studies Anton Treuer writes that in their traditional culture, there have been men who act and dress like women and women who act and dress like men. The former are called ikwekaazo and the latter ikwekaazowag.

Both have been “always honored” and “considered to be strong spiritually.” Many other Native American groups have had similar arrangements.

Transcending traditional gender behavior is not unique to modern Western civilization. With that as inspiration, and in accordance with astrological omens, I invite you to explore any inclinations you might have to be your own unique gender. The time is ripe for experimenting with and deepening your relationship with the constructs of “masculine” and “feminine.”

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) “The history of my stupidity would fill many volumes,” wrote Nobel Prize-winning poet Czesław Miłosz. Wow! If a highly respected genius like him has spawned so much nonsense and ignorance, what about the rest of us? Here’s what I have to say about the subject: Each of us should strive to be at peace with the fact that we are a blend of wisdom and folly. We should be tenderly compassionate toward our failures and weaknesses, and not allow them to overshadow our brilliance and beauty. Now would be a good time for you Leos to cultivate this acceptance and perform this blessing for yourself.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEP. 22) Helen Traubel (1899-1972) was best-known for her opera career, although she also sang in concerts, nightclubs, and musical theater. But in her autobiography, she confessed, “Opera bored me.” She reminds me of Georgia O’Keeffe, famous painter of flowers. “I hate flowers,” O’Keeffe said.

“I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.” Now of course most of us have to do some things that we don’t enjoy; that seems to be a routine part of being human. And since the coronavirus arrived in our midst, you may have been saddled with even more of this burden.

But I’m happy to inform you that the coming weeks will be a favorable time to brainstorm about how

14

APRIL 23, 2020

Free Will Astrology you could do more of what you love to do once the crisis has abated.

LIBRA (SEP. 23-OCT. 22) What’s the current state of the relationship between your ego and your soul? Is there an uneasy truce between the ambitious part of you that craves success and recognition and the lyrical part of you that yearns for rich experiences and deep meaning? Or do those two aspects of you get along pretty well – maybe even love and respect each other? Now is a favorable time to honor your ego and soul equally, Libra – to delight in the activities of both, to give them plenty of room to play and improvise, and to encourage them to collaborate in ways that will further your wellrounded happiness and health.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) Scorpio author Voltaire (1694-1778) was a crusader for freedom of thought and civil liberties, as well as a key player in the Enlightenment.

He was very prolific. In addition to producing 2,000 books and pamphlets, he carried on such voluminous written correspondences with so many interesting people that his collected letters fill 98 volumes. Would you consider getting inspired

by Voltaire’s approach to cross-pollination?

According to my calculations, the next phase of the coronavirus crisis will be a favorable time for you to intensify your communication via the written word.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) I like musician David Byrne’s views on what constitutes meaningful work. It’s not just the tasks you do to earn money. “Sex is a job,” he says.

“Growing up is a job. School is a job. Going to parties is a job. Religion is a job. Being creative is a job.” In other words, all the activities he names, to be done well, require a commitment to excellence and an attention to detail. They are worthy of your diligent efforts, strenuous exertion, and creative struggle. I encourage you to meditate on these thoughts during the coming weeks. Identify what jobs you want to get better at and are willing to work hard on and would like to enjoy even more than you already do.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) At its best and brightest, Capricornian love isn’t frivolous or flighty. It’s not shallow or sloppy or slapdash. When Capricornian love is at its highest potency, it’s rigorous, thoughtful, and full-bodied.

It benefits anyone who’s involved with it. I bring this up because I expect the coming weeks to be a Golden Age of Capricornian Love – a time when you will have the inspiration and intelligence necessary to lift your own experience of love to a higher octave.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) I hope you’re not one of those Aquarians who regards stability and security as boring. I hope you don’t have an unconscious predilection for keeping yourself in a permanent state of nervous uncertainty. If you do suffer from those bad habits, you’ll be hard-pressed to stick to them in the coming weeks. That’s because the cosmic energies will be working to settle you down into a steady groove. If you cooperate, you will naturally enhance your ability to be well-anchored, calmly steadfast, and at home in your life. Please don’t resist this opportunity.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MAR. 20) I foresee the likelihood that you’ll be having brilliant and evocative conversations with yourself in the coming weeks. Your heart and your head may become almost blissful as they discuss how best to create a dynamic new kind of harmony. Your left side and right side will declare a truce, no longer wrestling each other for supremacy, and they may even join forces to conjure up unprecedented collaborations. The little voices in your head that speak for the past will find common ground with the little voices in your head that speak for the future – and as a result you may be inspired to formulate a fresh master plan that appeals both.
