A LATE SHORT BLOG?

I don't like air-conditioning; except when I love it. This last week I have loved it. The temperature has been over ninety, everyday, and cooled off to the mid-seventies at night; not enough to cool off a hot house. If it will get down to the fifties or low sixties at night, we don't mind the hot days. It is said that, older folks are more vulnerable to heat. Well I was born in 1935, so I might be an older folk. Still, I have heard people say {or imply} "Are you ever going to grow up". So I am not sure.

In any case I got back from the hospital and looked at the forecast. It was going to get down to the fifties tonight. With great exuberance, I turned off the air conditioning, and opened the doors to the screen porch, and threw open the windows. Ahhhhhhh, back to Summer living the way we like it.

It was cooler this morning, than it has been, and my chickens celebrated exultantly. They flew out of their coop and half flew, half ran across the yard. Yes, animals do express joy and appreciation of life.

Jamie is fine; but true to the surgeon's words, she will need to be in the hospital five or six days. Everything has to start working normally. It will probably be Monday, before she is released. Sunday is a possibility, if her insides cooperate. I am hoping, that the gurgling and churning, will commence soon.

I have not been paying attention to world events. I note that the UN and now, even the British, have pulled away from the U.S. stance on Syria. I think the war cry will fizzle. The real culprit, probably, will not be known. Some rebel group will, probably, be blamed. It seems, obvious, that this was a manufactured event to create war with another Muslim country. Ask yourself, "Who gains". That is where the responsibility lies.

But as I have said before, taking sides, and the weeping and wailing, and gnashing of teeth, will not bring peace to our planet. We need to focus our love on those who want to fight, scrap and war monger but don't waste your attention on them. We can love them, without minding, what they are doing. We know they are crazy.

We need to focus our attention on the beauty of the world. We need to dream, dreams of love. We need to see, the loving being, behind the ego, of everybody we meet. We can. We will. Love is emerging everywhere. Embrace it. Spread it around.

I need to get supper ready. I have no idea if I will be blogging Monday. Well, on second thought, I will be able to give you an update, at least.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
