Happy Halloween?

October 31, 2023

Last night, it got down to 22° outside. And suddenly, the giant elephant ears, withered!

Same plant, slightly different view of it.

Not only that, but leaves, everywhere! And there’s plenty more still on the trees. Perfect for mulching gardens.

 

Me, this afternoon: “I’ve felt all along, this year, that the trees produced more leaves than usual. And now look, way more leaves that we’re used to seeing, especially all at once.”

Marita: “Hmmm . . . last year was cidadas, right?”

Me: “Yes! Could they be responsible for  increased leaf yield?”

Nature is so very mysterious. And we foolish humans think we can comprehend her. Meanwhile, given what’s “going down” in terms of the continuous global disclosure of more and more all-too-human corruption, to me it feels like every day is Halloween, when all the ghouls come out.

Darkness to Light, over and over and over again . . .

Has there ever been a time in history so fraught with fear? Have we ever been this close to destroying the entire world? I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis, and it was nothing, compared to now.

And yet, let us admit, the appetite for destruction is nothing new.

And which nation has been at war fully 93% of its time on this earth?

You guessed it.

The U.S.

Us.

But it’s never our fault. We’re the world’s champion upholder of democracy. Right?

Hmmm . . . glimmers of sense creep in. How we mirror the ugliness we think we see outside. How we project what is in us in denied form out onto others — and call them subhuman, animals, vermin, etc., to be exterminated.

We make war on our own population too, of course, in disguise. Again, glimmers of awakening: less than 4% of the jabbed are getting the current jab.

And yet, as we inch our way

through the gathering darkness,

we can also choose Light.

Every single minute of every single day.

God is NOT dead.
