From Clancy-fied to Captivating

September 8, 2026

After three days of chewing on the ghastly Clancy drama (see this, this, and this), I was determined, today, to find some good news to share. However, meanwhile, these came into focus . . .

How can we NOT real-eyes we have been MK Ultra programmed?

 

I “woke up” at 26, and since then have never totally succumbed to the cultural programming. Though I did come close, especially during the second wave of “feminism” years and their aftermath.

What is, and has always been, my soul-ution: two full hours of “physical culture” wherein I get and remain grounded. Yoga, chikung, taichi, daily. Plus walk four  to five miles daily, all senses alive, absorbing and appreciating the birds, the bees, the trees, the breeze. Plus internally: notice my body as it moves through space, its long, purposeful, rhythmic stride.

So grateful!

GRATITUDE IS MY ATTITUDE!

No matter how instinctively paranoid (i.e., pattern-seeking) my busy brain, walking shifts me into pronoia.

For if paranoia is preparing for the worst (related to “anxiety”), pronoia is preparing for the best (“optimism”).

Yes. For decades now, the universe bends in the direction of my intent.

Here and now, in my little world. The only one I know. The one that counts.

 

Meanwhile, there are times, like today, when someone joins me on my walk. Usually I help that person work through whatever is up for them during this storied time. Appropriate work for an 83-year-old elder.

And I always say, to others, and to myself: “If you think you’ve got it bad, notice what the next person is going through!” Instant perspectival shifting! Our noticing is empathic. We recognize that none of us is immune to the pressure of suddenly emerging karmic lessons.

Please remember, re-member (put yourself back together again!) the larger context of whatever is the overton window frame through which you are perceiving. This context is always, always, infinitely expanding!

Neptune in Aries, since late January 2026, and for the next 14 years.

We begin again, by opening, truly opening, to Mystery as we DARE TO DO OUR THING.

GHASTLY, “toxic femininity” MEME STREAM

September 7, 2026

I remember my doctor dad wrestling with the question of abortion. The clinic he was part of decided to allow it. He found out what he really thought when he found himself resigning, and founding another clinic in an adjacent town.

No abortion for him.

Of course as a ’60s feminist, there was a time when I was all for abortion, if needed for the mother’s health, whether mental or physical. In fact I too, had one abortion, back in 1973.

On the surface, at the time, I thought nothing of it.

Deep down, it bothered me immensely.

So here we are:

Have you noticed, whenever there is a “hot-button issue” that grabs everybody, no matter what “side” you’re on, memes ignite and spread like wildfire?
