Conspiracy Theory

If you really want a conspiracy theory, I have it on good accounting that this Pandemic has been orchestrated. In our funny very human manner we have not considered that the higher beings we have looked for in the universe aren’t ever present here on earth, influencing human history. No we can’t see, small or taste them.

Their intervention, in this case, the Pandemic is an effort to slow down the environmental degradation and an effort to create a teaching moment for our species. It is an act of grace from a higher power willing to attempt to create a better understanding amongst us, thereby bending the curve, from mutual self destruction, our current trajectory, to a higher order for our species.

Why have we so thoroughly separated and isolated ourselves from one another? We have separated ourselves from one another to the great detriment of the planet, ourselves, and all other species here on earth? And why are we in this race to destroy our habitat? The virus is a reminder that we are one species. Rather than building walls that separate us from one another we need to embrace the alternative vision, ALL ONE. The virus is driving home this lesson in a stark manner, getting our attention by condemning those most vulnerable to early death. The seriousness of the moment can’t be lost or forgotten. I can’t say for sure this lesson will resonate and create the changes necessary. This is my hope.

Communique #7

Every year for as long as I can remember beginning in late March through April I have my worst allergies. In the time of the pandemic this is not good timing,  No one wants a runny nose or chest congestion now. This week with a series of sunny dry warm days, the streets are colored with yellow pollen.  My daily exercise is a walk, it is unavoidable, the gym and my swimming pool is closed.  However this year almost everyone is wearing a face mask as recommended.  I look like everyone else!  I have several masks.  The mask protects me from the pollen floating in the air.  I have allergies this year, but to date they have not been severe or debilitating.  Now everyone can have a mask.  

Communique #10

I am at the stage of the “shelter in place” where I am beginning to wonder what is next?  Just a feeling, a question, isn’t there something else I should be doing or considering?  What is on the horizon that I am not seeing or considering?  What should I be seeing?  I have the feeling that something is missing, but what is it? I wonder if others have this feeling, or is this the unsettling feeling that we call “cabin fever”.  At this point it seems obvious to me that it is a changed world.  But, the questions emerge, I’m looking for something that we can know about the future.  Following the news it seems obvious to me, but not to some “policy makers” that this is an uncompromising virus/plague, it’s biology.  What has become clear is that this world created by our culture is usually mediated by compromise;  political considerations, market forces. That is now a fiction.  It is the old reality created by those with power. ...

Communique #6 The BIG Story

Audio report here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vienn2ko5fct6gw/Communique6.mp3?dl=0 I’m just coming In from my walk: The BIG news today, a house in the neighborhood that just went on sale. (The house had recently been purchased, followed by a multitude of workmen, painters everyday for weeks.)  Is it a flip house, or what’s the story here?  >Reporting here from the house that just went on the market.   I’m speaking to a gentleman from the neighborhood,  “Really shocked, the house was just purchased”.  “And it has just been painted”.  > “Sir, Do you know the owner?”  “No, I've only spoken to him a few times.  I know they have two children”.   >The house is on the market with an unusual firm, Caldwell Banker Bain.  The house previously sold for $1.6 Million and is on the market for $1.8.  With Spring coming the heather is very colorful. The landscaping looks great.   Here’s anothe...
