It's day 3 in a row of this amazingly negative energy cloud that seems to have engulfed me in it's snares.


First it was the news... sporting dismaying stories of dead birds, manatees, crab...
Then it was the incident yesterday at a local shop... people highly on edge and taking it out on innocent bystanders... spewing hatred and venom everywhere...
And now today... with the news of shootings and death in Arizona.

I am shocked and dismayed at today's news. It's not that these things don't happen every day. In fact... I am more in shock because these things DO indeed happen every day. It's like we as a human race have gotten so very far away from the good that we could be doing... and we are lost and confused.

It's like we, as a population... seem to be spinning out of control...

I feel like (for me at least)... it is time to take a huge step back... rest. Clear the air. Say some prayers. Think good thoughts. It's time to throw something positive back out and into the world.

I am not a horrifically politically oriented person, although once upon a time I did participate in a march on White House grounds... and talk before the Senate.

I am not a horrifically religious person... although I am very spiritually oriented, and have a strong belief system.

I am not prone to rants and raves... and yet... something has got to be done. Perhaps it is too late.
I am distressed beyond measure about the bees... the manatees... the fish... the crab... and the massive flocks of birds that have been dying in record number across the world. More so in the past few years.

It could be pollution, HAARP theories, radiation, sonic waves, some kind of weird experimentation or testing... who knows. It may just be as "simple" as man being so egotistical as a species ... that everything else is just running out of room and life by our own greed and consumption.
Who knows.
The point is... it's gotta stop. We must all be motivated to do what we can to limit our degradation of the world. We must take to heart, the re-use... re-purpose... recycle... mindset. To change our way of thinking... to change our way of living... to accomodate ALL living things.


Light a candle... say a prayer... do something pro-active.
