AFTER TOMORROW

This is the time of the year when I look at the clock and add or subtract an hour. I personally adjust to the time change, with hardly a notice. Last night I went to bed around 12:30. I wasn't anymore tired than usual, even though, it was actually an hour later Sun-Time. However, my sheep, and especially my chickens, want things on their schedule. Unfortunately, those chickens don't have our watches, they let me know when I am fifteen minutes late. An hour would not be tolerated. The old biddies don't mind, their flexible, but those broilers are agitating, to get out of that coop, ½ hour after Sunrise. I was letting them out at 8:30AM. I got up between 7 and 7:30 so that gave me time to have a cup or two of coffee and do the crossword puzzle, before launching into the days chores [not that there's much]. Now I will have to get out there, and let them out, without even much of a sit-down. Well sure, I could go to bed earlier and get up earlier................no.......uh uh.

Well tomorrow, it will be finally over. I haven't said too much about my views of this election, and I won't, perhaps I will have something say, after the dust settles down, in a few weeks. It has been a real circus. It has been almost theatrical, as if it is a staged event, to keep our minds off of what is really happening. I don't really believe that. But it is difficult to see how these two candidates could represent what is supposed to be the best of our leaders. How could this happen? It has been painful.

There have been many people, that have expressed my views, of this election debacle. The latest one [I read] is by Barbara Ehreneich, one of the more insightful commentators, on the world stage. It was posted by Molly Strong on Facebook.

What the World needs is a leader who will bring peace. We need leaders who emanate peace and love from their being. There is a great deal to be done, in this World, to bring equality and abundance to all the people. None of this can be accomplished by leaders that use divisiveness to attract supporters. None of this can be done by leaders that support the present Corporate Empire. None of this can be done by leaders that support the present version of capitalism.

People are waking up. Many people are in agony about this election. They see clearly that neither candidate can further the goals of a sane world, yet they are afraid to vote for a third candidate, for fear, that the worse of the two will get elected. What a horrible dilemma!

We will get over this craziness one way or another and we will continue the creation of a sane world.

It is as if all the craziness in the world has risen to the top for us to observe. It is a scum for all to see. Everything that has been absolutely nutty about our World is right there; all the intolerance, violence, greed, divisiveness of every kind. Perhaps, it so we can see it and give it up.

We know that underneath this skim [I will use a nicer term] most of us reside. We see people who love each other and want to live in peace. We see people who want everyone to be happy. We see people that want everyone to be well fed, well housed and educated properly. Sure there are a few cranks, that's okay, every family needs them. They enrich the community. We don't want to be all the same. There are enough people, who see that love is the only solution, in every community, that we can create a sane world around us. Let us not expect it to come from above. The 'above' is collapsing. We will create a new structure.

Just imagine, that everything that isn't love, is an illusion, and we will soon see reality.

Love and Peace, Gregg
