An inukshuk, in the form of a human,
used in the far north to indicate directions
for travellers.
I found myself in a deep muse,
accidentally building inukshuks
with empty toilet paper rolls.
Desperados will try anything
to ease our angst.
The excitable incoming tyrant
might want to reconsider his plan
to take over unwilling countries.
Why not just get his buddy
to buy the whole planet
so he can Rule It All?
Guess what? I am a news junkie
whose addiction is taking me down.
Is there rehab for that?
I am now sentimental about the days
when people marched for love and peace
and tried to change the world
with social justice for all,
when being kind was the norm.
The world has changed, all right.
It is in a pitiful state.
I don't sleep well.
I don't sleep well.
My question: how - when those at the top
set such a bad example of human behaviour -
how will we ever change it back?
My antidote, as always, was to go to the beach where the waves are huge, wild and roaring just before an expected storm. Two eagles circled overhead. My wild spirit responded with joy. We have to buckle up for 2025. Lots of restorative beach walks in store for me!
Same, Sherry, same...I too am a complete news junkie and that in such times does take me down...no rehab for that, unfortunately!! Am glad you have nature around you for comfort.
ReplyDeleteThe thought of you building your inukshuk made me smile despite the worry that the world brings along - Jae
ReplyDeleteMy comment seems to have vanished. I said that these things go in cycles and madmen like these come and go, though often at great cost. Perhaps President Musk and first lady Donny will get into a fatal marital spat and do each other in.
ReplyDeleteShay, your comment cracked me up. They are both such prima donnas I cant see mr t standing for it for long.........
