Is This The End of Humanity?
April 12, 2017 The options now are grim. We’ve been facing a complete departure, in real time, of sane responses to world affairs. Millions of people; mothers, fathers, children — humans all, are dying of starvation on our planet. We are gearing up to fight more battles and poised to use nuclear weapons to engage in that fight. Our last election was hacked by a foreign country, for sure, but our lawmakers are taking their own sweet time in uncovering those details… And — We have a man running...
Reach For the Stars (Financially)
Apr 6, 2017 We decided that living far away from everything was a good idea for loads of reasons. Our Salukis needed vast spaces to run. Housing costs are stupid in California AND said Salukis kept giving us poison oak, regardless of our home’s location in Cali. My job was “eliminated” (read; myself & my boss, the president & founder of her company, weren’t included in the hostile takeover of HER company). My children all grew up & moved to other places (all but one of the six). We...
Dreaming Reality
MARCH 12, 2017 Everyone dreams, but mine are muddled... Wandering through a landscape of sorts, but the particulars are lost on me as I become conscious. Fleeting imagery, sensations of dark invaders, credit card debt and political intrigue. It’s all jumbled together and I struggle to be relieved of it all. Seems best to get up and make some coffee, rather than get all deep about it. The intrigue of my unconscious state isn’t a novel experience, it simply happens and the night comes into light...
Turning On The Light
MARCH 2, 2017 “I have found that it is the small everyday deed of ordinary folks that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.” ~ Gandalf (J.R.R. Tolkien ~ The Hobbit)” If you listen, you can hear the sun rise. First there’s a sound like a breath, then a pure, sustained bell tone that fills the air for a moment… then it’s gone. Me, I’d never heard that sound before, until the day I did and it was a day like other days, other than I was asking for help — silently asking. Could...
Bad Dreams
MARCH 1, 2017 Dreaming of the president this morning felt more like a nightmare. It was like I was walking up endless stairs and I couldn’t get off of them. They kept going higher and more treacherous, but there was no way off. His 180 turn in last night’s speech to Congress, in terms of how he presented his views and intentions, made me sick. To be honest, I am struggling with the simple fact that I didn’t listen in real time to it. Only after it happened and after my morning dream. Then I...
Cassandra Says “Um… There’s a Horse In the White House”
FEBRUARY 25, 2017 Cassandra was the daughter of Priam & Hecuba, the king & queen of Troy (you know, that ancient city that some believe is mythological but in fact, the ruins are located along the Aegean Sea in Turkey). Troy was engaged in a 10 year war with the Greeks when they delivered a huge wooden‘Trojan Horse’ through the city gates as a gift. The Trojan’s didn’t know there were soldiers hiding in the belly of the horse, but soon found that out when they completely sacked Troy....
The Change of Times — #45, Mercer & Big Oil
FEBRUARY 20, 2017 (March 21, 2018 …. This was written over a year ago… but there are currently new developments that indicate the Universe was guiding us towards these players and pointing out the onslaught of our American country through these backroom deals and data manipulation.) Sleepless and long hours passed last night as I learned what the depth of our current global circumstances actually are. It involves the illegal appropriation of the recent election and who is behind it — and why....
Bless Us –
FEBRUARY 14, 2017 For months I’ve sensed this time of struggle coming, but even with the internal forewarning I’ve received, I couldn’t have imagined this sudden and consuming shift. No one could have predicted this. Although the protests, the phone calls, the long trips into the nearest city and the late night wanderings around my house have done much to anchor into my body that we’re in a shit storm of weirdness — it means that myself and many others are waking up. We had a kind and...
Warrior Times
None of us seem to be completely immune to the clown show this election has delivered, which is not actually funny, but frightening. In a country where "family values" has been paraded around for years as the meter and method for living, the political party that trumpets the "family value" card has a man running for the office of the President who is the opposite. For as long as I've known of him, he has ALWAYS shown up as someone who takes whatever he wants without apology and doesn't seem...
How Do I Live in Faith
Months go by before I make the time to write here. Actually I seem to be unwilling to write much of anything, lately. Life is full, growth is happening and it leaves little time for this, or even thoughts of any real import for something published. Still, I will make an effort today. There is much to relate having to do with what is happening for us, here on this beautiful planet. The 'what is happening' according to news, or science, or popular culture is not the nature of my work here....
