Good morning y’all Sunshine is breaking through and the world outside is waking up slowly, as am I.
Welcome to day 177 of 375, my journey is becoming more of a trail I feel. I keep looking for the trail markers, they are elusive, but onward I go…

Life has been a preponderance of reality as of late that is both starkly unsettling and sobering to say the least. This morning I got up wishing for a dash of magic and that the realities of the world were just a dream. The more coffee I drank, the clearer I realized that the state of things about me are out of control, my control, and seemingly nothing can be done to stop the chaos and insanity that is so overwhelmingly loud. I imagine that God has a migraine just watching as the free will given to us is becoming a horrific abusive show where the letters in red seem lost among the vileness and hate.

This morning as I watched the sun come up, I prayed for strength, for sanity and peace to find a toehold here, and for the moral compassion I have known to rise and creep back into the fabric of our world. Magic in ordinary things, in the daily grind we all move through… magic that lights up smiles, gives hope, makes the buzz of lies and hatred quiet.

I’ve lived 67 years, seen life change, mostly for the better, have fought for that, for justice, for humanity, for equality to all. Yes, there are days, more often than I would hope for, that I feel as if I’ve lived too long…
There are days I feel the heaviness so deeply my soul aches. I, this morning, have been lost in thought… how did everything go so horribly wrong., can we even turn this around?

I myself, just keep pushing and putting one foot in front of the other.. as my daddy said, Keep moving, don’t stop, you have to get up and move and work it off. Today is another day, just as Scarlett professed it would be,  and I really do find my peace here on my land, my Swampy Bottom Acres…
I’m off to walkabout, I hope you find your peace today, I’m one daying it at a time too…
