Less we forget the western US fires

“In their highest boughs the world rustles,
their roots rest in infinity;
but they do not lose themselves there,
they struggle with all the force of their lives for one thing only:
to fulfill themselves according to their own laws…
to represent themselves. Nothing is holier,
nothing is more exemplary than a beautiful, strong tree.”
Hermann Hesse
Why No Masks?
Sep 28th
Doug Mills/The New York Times
Why no masks? Disgraceful. Where will these people go and who will they possibly infect when they leave that room?
Why oh why must they possibly endanger the public over a simple protective procedure?
The answer to this question is obvious to me, what about you?
Misdirected Funds
Sep 23rd
“WASHINGTON — A $1 billion fund Congress gave the Pentagon in March to build up the country’s supplies of medical equipment has instead been mostly funneled to defense contractors and used for making things such as jet engine parts, body armor and dress uniforms.
The change illustrates how one taxpayer-backed effort to battle the novel coronavirus, which has killed roughly 200,000 Americans, was instead diverted toward patching up long-standing perceived gaps in military supplies.”

Who is running the show? Who is ultimately accountable? Is this an example of the wolves guarding the sheep?
Somebody in our government is not doing their job!

Doublespeak
“There are now over 30.2 million people who have contracted SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Global deaths are currently just under 950,000.
The National Restaurant Association issued a memo assailing a CDC study that connected restaurants to increased risk of developing COVID-19. The memo called the CDC “irresponsible” after study researchers found that the risk of developing COVID-19 is doubled among people who have been out to eat at restaurants.”
Oh really?
Since when is common sense “irresponsible?”

From the Archives – A New Story

A New Story
There have been a few “deep feeling” people who have called for a “new story.” There can be no doubt that we desperately need a new story. All major religions advocate “love.” and “Peace.” But unfortunately, they seek “God” to bring peace. Part of the new story, is that Peace and love must come from within each of us. Also, they are not what we can “have” or “obtain” but what we “are.” So, why do we have problems? We are taught that we are helpless and must invoke assistance from “God” out there somewhere. This is “the pollution of the ages.” Further, it is “Earth energy” that nourishes and sustains us yet we are alienated due to basic beliefs that don’t keep their promises. We now have runaway Global warming where the positive feedback is increasing at an increasing rate. We either cooperate, and very soon, or suffer unimaginable consequences. This is not a Henny Penny or chicken licken story either – just do the maths!
