Summer Solstice 2018



Thunder and rain all night and now a cloudy, humid morning. It's almost feels tropical but this is Portland Oregon so I'm not counting on seeing a blue sky today on this, the official beginning of Summer now duly noted.

With over 2500 children currently imprisoned in internment camps by Trump and the Republicans and no end in sight, just fuckwad's useless magic marker scrawl on yet another impotent "executive order", I feel hypocritical and sad even mentioning summer as it calls to mind childhood and the golden days of summer but it is the beginning of summer so somehow make it count for good.

Happy summer to us all. Just goes to demonstrate the inexorable procession of seasons here on planet Earth, which we hope is big enough and resilient enough to absorb the preposterous glitch that is Trump and Co.

In earth time, humans have only been around for seconds. We're not even a tick of the ol' celestial clock so Trump and Co. are zero, nothing BUT in a child's life, what is happening is eternal. What Trump and the Republicans are doing is heartbreaking and unforgivable.

Anyway........

yes.........

summer is now .... I hope we all can take a moment to breathe, relax, and care about someone else ... caring is the gateway to serenity and peace and a little happiness that lasts.

It got to bugging me, so I looked it up. You knew this, but I did not. Note to self: duly is the correct form.
