APRIL FOOLS DAY!

 
It is getting a little hazy now, but when I went out to do the chores, the Sun seemed twice as bright as it is normally. Dazzling, I suppose it was because of the cold, clear air that moved in overnight. A few days ago they announced it as an arctic vortex and our temperatures were to be close to zero. They seemed to back off of that dire prediction and now, 22 degrees F is predicted for tonight. I am pleased about that because I have new lambs due today and tomorrow. We had one lamb born yesterday; I was happy to see he/she {I haven't checked yet} is healthy and spritely. She {I think she is a she} is following her Mother around the pasture and like all newborn lambs, she a seems delighted with life.

I was surprised that she was a single birth, that is not common in the sheep I have known. I, also, was surprised that she is white. Her mom is medium brown and her dad is white with a few light tan markings.

So what am I going to talk about today? The world economic system is undergoing great change. The Western markets are imploding and the Bric nations, led by China and Russia, are on the upswing. Russia and China have been increasing there gold holdings and it is rumored that they are going to back their currency with precious metals. I cannot make sense of the stock market. I have been looking at the numbers, a few times a day, for forty years and it now baffles me. As European markets get shaky. Investment in the U.S. Market is seen as a refuge; therefore it rises, despite all other indications.

I have no idea how long the economy can limp along. So much is purely psychological and has to do with the faith of the people. Folks in key positions, who are in the know, have made preparations for the coming events. We will experience upheaval and confusion for awhile, but things will be okay. We need to leave, the old system, of rapacious capitalism behind.

It is obvious, that when a person is welcomed into the world, his/her basic security should be assured. Poverty must become a distant memory. Fear of lack must disappear as a human condition. Everybody deserves to live in comfort. It will happen.

As our social systems collapse, folks of like mind will be attracted to each other. Those who are beginning to 'see' will assist those just opening their eyes. Like minded people will create the healing/learning centers I have been talking about. They will be crucial in helping people live on the Earth in accordance with our Mother and the rest of creation.

I keep promising to take one of our social institutions, at a time, and discuss the need for relearning. Instead, I just nibble around the edges. I follow my intuition. I never know what I want to write about until the keyboard is in front of me.

Hey! Not a single April fools joke. I told Jamie I would abstain from any April fools jokes. She doesn't believe me. I guess I will have to think of a good one.

Happy Friday!

Love and Peace, Gregg
