Now

Look.  Sink or swim.  Blow out the stink.  Move.  Where the rubber hits the road.

There comes a point where you cannot avoid what's happening.

Reticence has often been self defeating.  Wait too long and opportunity passes you by.  That's not to say a time and place for action.  Houston waited, then struck at just the right time.  Dancing on a string.

We are where we need to be.  Time to clear our minds.  Time to take stock.  Action can be mental rather than or in addition to physical.

Mirror.  Now I look older than I did years ago.  Not bad though lol.  I work with what I have.  And the same goes for the soul.

There is no stopping us.  We never give up.  Time to decide.

Now.

We

The People.  Individuals coming together for the common good.  Quite the opposite of collectivism.  That's forced lockstep and no original thought.

We are all in this together, whatever this is.  And it is time to examine ourselves.

What have we taken for granted?  Are we predators or liberators?  Are we coming together or drifting apart?

Even the poor in USA have it good.  To an extent, yes.  We have advantages and opulence only dreamt of in the past.  Things are tighter now.  Are we struggling?  Are we spoiled?  Depends.

Some people cruise along, with goods and services at beck and call.  When everything is done for us, we forget others serve.  Then they hit a wall.  Panic sets in.  They hoard.  Notice I said some.

Others have appreciated what's been done for them.  They realize we all play a part in society.  When times toughen, so do they.  They stockpile.

Many are in the middle and have modest preparation.  They are wise, for they are unlikely to panic.  It is the key to our emergence and triumph.

We will win.  We will continue to Restore the Republic.

Me and ye.  We. 

Are

Be.  Intransitive verb.  Many interesting iterations.  However, here we are.  State of being.  How are you doing?

Economy?  Scuttle it and achievement.  If it is constructed well, it will come back.  Or restructured in a healthy free market society.

Health?  Threaten or compromise it.  Sick people, including fear of disease, are easier to control.  Reach past the fear.  Do sensible, not fear oriented things to be healthy.

Fear, hatred, chaos are being countered now just as they have always been.  Gratitude and preparedness existed before and will continue.  It is the opposite which gives an illusion of power.

Nothing lofty nor lah dee dah about this current situation.  Think about motes and logs.  But meet the test.

Think of a pile, stack, what have you.  For a long time, it's been there stored.  You take something out of it.  The support of the sundry articles shifts.  It might topple.  Or, with careful shifting, it'll wobble but will remain.  See what works.

Time to go light.  It's a chance to tighten up.  Work out mentally and physically.  IOW have a cookie and/or a beer etc.  Just go slowly.

Some people will suffer and die currently.  And certain other people will exploit.

Remember people die and are born every day still.  May it bring us to appreciate the cycle more.

Weather the storm.  Heavy, light, calm, our state of being remains.

Where

I'm reminded when Sam's Club East arbitrarily closed a couple of years ago.  One day our daughter and I did some regular shopping.  The next day it was closed.  Just like that.  Employees showed up and were turned away.  They did receive severance and a chance for jobs elsewhere.  Hmmf.

Mrs and I went Friday, as they opened the store to liquidate merchandise.  It was already emptying fast.  Holes were appearing all over the food section especially.  The lines were long and the employees were stressed.  I looked around and contemplated what a catastrophe would do.

Well, we have found out in a mild way.  We see the result of what I'd call limited panic concerning health and goods.

My advice, albeit late, is NOT to panic, and learn to prepare.

Toilet paper.  There.  I said it.  Much has been bought in panic.  Much grabbed in greed.  Many were prepared.

There are places with varying degrees of severity.  Here fairly good.  LA not so good.  And there are many in between.  NB that the worst places are very blue.  We are fortunate here in that many of us resist a total takeover.

Make the most of where you are and where you're at.

This is textured.  On one level, it was meant to discumboobulate society here and everywhere.  It was meant to put the President on the spot, no matter the disease.  Think of an airplane downed just to get one person.  Socio/economic chaos is food for collectivism.  On the spiritual, it is a fallen path meant to pave the way for something that remains unnamed.  You all can figure that out methinks.

Be careful.  Stay well.  Protect yourself and others.  More later.
