I sit looking out the window.
It is beautiful and exciting.
I have never lived on the moon before this year.
There are few creatures about and I feel isolated.
The craters are what you imagined they would be.
They are white and frozen. I must be self-reliant.
I am on my own. No one is in control.
I must survive for several months until
the earth ship comes to rescue me and
the data I have been collecting.
The data will be useful for further excursions.
This is not easy work. I feel lonely and depressed.
I knew this would happen even before I accepted the assignment.
The earth was in chaos. Everyone was suffering,
especially the children. We knew there were solutions
but no leaders were about, to put into action.
It seems to be the story of mankind.
We seem to not be able to coexist.
Too much ego and need to control
even by fiats and mandates.
The citizens eventually wear down and begin to revolt.
I look at the leaders. It is hard to believe that
they were voted into office.
Many voters now regret their actions,
but at the time did what they always do
which is to vote as they always have,
forgetting about critical thinking and
now the regrets when it may be too late.
There is an Omnipotent One and we can go to Him
with our concerns and ask for His help and guidance.
He instructed us to love. If everyone would
we seemingly would have a peaceful world
where we all would live in happiness and
there would be no strife. It seems impossible but
He promised us happiness after He has
separated the chaff from the wheat.
A single day of eternity is a long, long time.
Something to strive for. Peace in the valley.
My depression has lifted already
