Reflection 2024

 

In reflection of these last three hundred and sixty-five days,

some garnered diminished attention, many were inspirational by

wafts of wonderful smells, sounds of song and music from voices

by humans or avian, or the sounds of rustling leaves of trees from

wind, of running streams and brooks, or the callings of creatures

in the woods. There were many moments of laughter and smiles

from family and friends, smiles from strangers.

 

Yet, many tears were shed of aching hearts, the angst and sorrow

of my mind and spirit from the passing of my brother and three

close friends. Stories and visions of suffering and sadness from

distant lands of devastation from fires and floods, hurricanes and

tornados, from the wanton deaths and killing of innocent people

because of famine and wars, the result of ignorance and stupidity

from prejudice and hate

 

And so now, I shall breathe in deep, shall conjure in my mind, my

heart and spirit, my being, how tomorrow being the start of our

new year, according to the Gregorian calendar, I will think positive

despite a portentous arrival of a dystopian condition being bandied

about by the ‘2025MAGA’ leadership in our U.S.A. Republic. My wish

and hope is that there will be enough caring minds and hearts who

will promote and carry our Democracy through this challenge
