Time time time...

Humanity is facing our worst selves right now.  The US has been sabotaged and can not defend itself.  Russia is on the verge of attacking NATO.  China is sitting back to see what happens.

The United States is over.  Our elections have been compromised, Nazi style terrorists are in our streets beating, kidnapping, and murdering, every day, the food supply has been deliberately poisoned, the electrical grid is about to be sabotaged on a national scale, the list goes on.  Trump has sold out the US to Russia and still people don't believe it. Oh well.  Maybe they'll believe it when Russian bombs start falling and there are Russian soldiers in our streets.  Hyperbole?  I wish.

The cabal in DC (Trump, Vance, Miller, Vought, Hesgeth, Blanche, 6 of SCOTUS and the Rs in the House and Senate etc and Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos, Koch, Adelson etc) is comprised of psychopaths.  These are people who are incapable of caring about anyone but themselves.  They are psychologically malformed. Their lust for power is a bottomless pit.  Nothing can ever be enough for them because they are not whole people.  If a dog behaved this way we'd put them down because they'd be a danger to those around them. 

Now it is up to each of who DOES have a conscience to follow that conscience and do what we have to do.

Catalysts for change

It’s almost 22 years since my mother was killed. Thinking back to where my life was when that happened, I was underwater financially, exhausted by work, stressed out from a bad relationship, I had a roommate who was a perfectly fine person, but I don’t like having a roommate, I was thinking I was going to have to sell my house because couldn’t afford to keep it. Things were tough. And then my mother was murdered, and my life exploded. It became clear that everything had to change and so I sold my house and closed my practice and went traveling. And in the 22 years since then a lot has happened. I have traveled the world, met all kinds of amazing people, lived in a variety of interesting and unusual places, been very engaged politically, and to make a long story short now I find myself on Vancouver Island moving into a little trailer house in the country. Mother’s murder was a catalyst in my life. I’m not glad that happened to her, but I am glad for the changes that were catalyzed through that experience. So even the most horrific things that happen in our lives can sometimes be catalysts for positive meaningful change.

A very cool bird experience

 I was just out walking down by the water and I heard a honking sound in the distance as I approached this area where there’s a wooden bridge that goes over the creek as the creek is entering the estuary. And if I turn left there, I walk down alongside the creek as it’s entering the estuary, so I make that turn, and the tide is out so the estuary water is way away in the distance, hundreds of feet, and I’m walking and I see there are two crows feeding in the creek. I stopped and they didn’t seem to notice me, and then it sort of dawned to me that I was wearing my Raven T-shirt and as soon as I realize that they both looked at me and got up and started flying around me and making a ton of noise, and they did that for about 10 minutes. Then a heron flew down from the woods right by me right past me, maybe 50 feet away in the air, and kept going and landed a few hundred feet away in the water. If you look at their bodies, as they fly, it looks like a trombone or some horn and it sounds like a horn. Anyway, the heron landed, and I kept walking. I was walking towards the water and after I got a little closer to the heron took off and circled around and flew back to the woods from whence it came. The crows at that point are still flying around me and making a ton of noise, and then they flew off and the heron came back and flew down to the water again as I turned around to go back up towards the woods. Anyway, a very cool bird experience.
