It’s a glorious day

I’m writing this while sitting outside on my swing. The sun is warm, the breeze in gentle and the fresh air is comforting. I hear my baby goats bleating in the distance and for a moment it feels like spring has arrived! It’s a glorious day! But I’m reminded it’s still winter and this is a short reprieve from the coldness.

As I sit here everything feels right in the world. I am away from the craziness going on. But I know things are not ok….they are not at all ok. We have wars of all kinds going on around us. We have people scared, suffering and wondering what craziness will we face next. 

The extreme right agrees with all the hate, meanness, illegal activity..the rest of us whether moderate or left sit and wonder what’s happening to us. What will happen to us and those we love.

I struggle to the see good and benefit from anything happening right now. How far will all this go before we, as a nation say “enough”. 

Even in my small podunk town racial profiling is very real. A Native American woman was detained for over 30 minutes while officers checked the legitimacy of her Indian card(CBID). Never in my lifetime did I think I’d see this. How far will it go? Who will be profiled next? I’m scared.

How long will we allow this to happen? So many questions linger in my mind. So many are struggling right now. Unable to sleep, unable to eat, unable to grasp what is happening. 

But I believe the goal is chaos and confusion. Those two things make the masses easy to control. We must be vigilant in our research to be sure we receive the truth. 

I’ve had to cut ties with loved ones, friends and family alike that simply refuse to see what’s right in front of them. I just can’t trust them anymore. The less they know about me and my life the better. It’s terrible sad it has to be like this. 

I have never been more terrified of what’s happening in our country than I am right now. I cannot wrap my brain around how so many don’t understand it. They are complicit in all of this. I ask myself what it’s going to take for them to see it. And the reality is, many never will. All dictators have supporters. No matter how brutal they are, there are those that support them and that’s absolutely horrifying to me.

My heart is heavy, my eyes are red from tears. I’m beyond exhausted from all this. But I must keep going. WE must keep going. I have to have hope. I have to have faith that Congress will at some point say enough is enough and stop this insanity! If they don’t…..I can’t bring myself to think about it right now!

For now, I will continue to stay alert and vigilant. I will do my best to support those feeling the same way. I will continue to allow myself to feel what I feel. I will continue to document these turbulent times here on my blog. 

Until next time…
