Moving along down the road.
Meandering a little if you know what I mean. Just doin’ it. Feelin’ it. Flowin’
it.
Not my normal vibe. But a good one
just the same. The air flows over my face, maybe through the hair; calm and
placid for once. Letting things just happen.
What caused this turn? Reminders
that basic topics matter more than the ones we think matter. Health. Happiness.
Good family and friends, the kind that stick around and laugh with you through
thick and thin. Something needs to be done, we see it, note it, and arrange for
a fix. Gets done. No longer an issue. But no big deal either. Other things are.
Hurricane Sandy
on its way up from the Caribbean to off east coast Florida . But the trajectory is worrisome for
the Virginia/DC coastal region northward to Long Island ,
Connecticut and Rhode
Island , New Jersey and inland New York and Massachusetts .
Big storm. Forecasted rains, wind and tidal surges. Inland disruption with
power outages. Billions of property values at stake.
Yes. These are things to worry
about. Safety and health of people. Property and other stuff a concern but they
are replaceable. Infrastructure another matter; we need these usually hidden
treasures to function smoothly and reliably in good times and bad. Emergency
times especially. So there is cause to worry.
Halloween not a worry. Just a
civilian/cultural fun day with little significance. Fun only. So it can get
bumped or swallowed up one year because of major weather.
Elections being upset by the storm.
Maybe but there’s time to get back on track and open the polls. If not,
adjustments will be made. Elections are important. But health and safety of
people comes first. That’s part of what we are voting for in the first place.
Keep the machinery running for the well being of the most people. That’s a good
and proper role for government!
Maybe you don’t think so. Or maybe
you agree. It’s OK. I believe government is OK if you pay attention. It is a
trustworthy function we rely on. I don’t fear it unless the wrong people get
into the seat of power and mess it up. Don’t know who those people might be,
but hope communications during campaigns makes it clear to us who deserves our
trust and vote.
Storms come and go. So do power
regimes and ideologies. Guess we have to trust that the unwanted or negative
consequences that could happen will be repaired and we all just keep goin’ down
the road. Feelin’ the vibe. Don’t cha know?
For those who may be upset by the
outcome of the elections, take a deep breath and know that the end of the world
is not near! This too shall pass and maybe it won’t be as bad as you thought it
would be. Deep breath. That’s right; just like that. Breathe – one – two –
three; breathe – one – two……..
