My Heart Fluttering

 

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she’s gone
 
It’s “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” by the Beatles !!!???
 
Yes ! No ! 
 
Its Shokupan heaven in marmalade skies !!!

To slice into perfection is when your heart pounds – doki doki !

It’s not possible to spread this marmalade delicately … it’s coarse thick cut in contrast to the delicate Sakura flowers… I am in heaven. Thank you Thank you Thank you is my mantra today.

We deserve Peaceful Transition of Power

Year 2000:

George W. Bush vs. Al Gore comes to mind: 271 vs. 266 electoral votes: That’s just 5 pts. differential – mere 5! Al Gore had MORE popular votes at 48.4% to 47.9% George W. Bush. Yes, Al Gore had more popular votes than George W. Bush – SO… What is Trump complaining about again? Pleaaasse !

Year 2004:

George W. Bush vs. John Kerry: 286 vs. 251 electoral votes: only 50.7% in favor of Geoge W. Bush.

So again ??? PLEASE.

It’s about one man’s abuse of power, mental instability, emotional immaturity and unwillingness to show statesmanship and sportsmanship but instead stooping low low low and thereby questioning our Democratic system. There’s also unscrupulous profit/money making dirty motive because poor uninformed people sold on sensationalism will send in more money, which helps his after-office activities and pays those unscrupulous lawyers who profits off from those funds.

So sad. Instead of earning respect and admiration, redemption, one man can really screw up a legacy he could have built. Instead he keeps creating chaos, conflict, muddying the waters so it’s more difficult to see clearly- it’s the same tactic used by power usurpers of the past.

Healing comes where there is mutual RESPECT for the other – we may not agree but we may see and hear the other viewpoints and press on the facts and how that affects you and those you care about; Then there has to be JUSTICE. Then we can celebrate our differences rather than destroy what’s not in perfect agreement with your opinion, way of life, ideas of supremacy vs. equality and merit-based advances.

Peace, Harmony, Love awaits upon such a HEALING. Then, it REAL! Praying for that day to come !!

Masks on Mug Hanger

So coffee and tea mugs went into the cupboard and … masks, not mugs now hanging on the book shelf mount right by the entry for easy access. Mix and Match fashion not just in vogue but it’s a necessity to pretect Self and Others. Thank you for wearing them to show you care about the community as a whole. Yeah, sure, you jog, you yoga, you meditate, you eat right, you are radiant and glowing with health -great – but many of us are not as invincible and the vius does not care – even if you feel great, you can still be a carrier and a spreader and shedding away for others to catch what could potentially kill the more vulnerable.

So, it’s not about how beautiful and healhty you look and feel; it’s about the entire interconnected community we live in. It’s about how each one of us have an impact on the welfare of all – it’s about keeping everyone else from ticking up the numbers in ICU so when your nephew or sister or yes, young person is in an accident; or if your mom or dad has a heart attack (from all this chronic stress and heart breaks from not seeing you) or your grandma has a stroke(from lack of activities), there are doctors and nurses who are not exhausted and depleted at that ICU bed – which may or may not be available. It depends on your action.

Not trying to lecture or preach- just seeking understanding. Until ICU capaciy is min. 15%, we could find many creative alternative ways to keep fit and sane. Bedroom and outdoor yoga, Tai-chi, Pilates … walking in nature … finding ways to stop the spread now that there’s this new strain of the virus that is reported to spread 50-70% more efficiently. Great. Just great – just what we needed on top of all the struggles and suffering – right? So staying defensive is a good idea. Do No Harm.
