Your truth will prevail

We will be called out of

The darkness into Your

Light.  The chaff will be

Separated from the grain

We will exalt the Father and

He will be at our side

We will not be alarmed as

He promised this reward

For our goodness.  The

Evil ones sought control

And committed dark acts

There is only One Who has

Total control and He was

Humble and sent His Son

To die on the cross for

Our sins.  His Son taught

Us all that we had to know

To gain our place in heaven

All will be well as we

Follow His Precepts

Praise be to Him

I hear ancient cries

It is not yet nightfall

But getting close

I realize it is crows

Calling for their family

To settle down for the night

Soon it is quiet and to

Our sense peaceful

We are not fools, but

We have no idea of

All the activity that goes on

Even when the cries stop

Although we are capable

Of many things, we are

Still ignorant of what is

Happening about us on

The land, in the air and

The waters.  There are

Miracles waiting to be

Discovered and most if

Not all men are ignorant

Of the ways to discovery

So we remain ancient

Moving forward slowly

Waiting for the next

Enlightenment and then

Heaping praise upon the

One discovering it, even

Awarding then with a

Noble Prize and paying

Them huge sums of money

We have explored only

A small percentage of

The oceans, forests and

Jungles.  There are answers

Waiting and species to

Discover.  We interfere

With natural processes under

In the guise of saving the planet

When we may be interfering

With natural progression

There are those so convinced

That liberalism or socialism is

The very best thing that could

Happen in this country

They basically want

Without deep consideration

For everyone to live in

A state of equal misery

Where do they come from?

These ideas that seem so grand

Is it the breakdown in morality?

Or the need to lead a band

They slap down our President

Because of words he has said

Name one predecessor who

Has had a perfect resume, so sad

He loves this country and

Did not have to serve, and wealth

did not stand in his way.  He stood up

And proclaimed we could be more stealth

He was one of twenty, but survived

Ran against corruption and

The American people took his side

Much to the dismay of the

So-called chosen ones

Impeachment was the goal, before

He took his oath.  He had an agenda

And proceeded to accomplish more

Then anyone thought he could

He had insiders against him, people

From both sides of the aisle

The fake news press could not acknowledge

Anything he did that was good

Soldiers are happier, our forces stronger

Taxes lowered, regulations reversed

A wonder among the men of his day                                     

And still he is daily cursed

.

Look for the good in things

Avoid evil processes

Be positive and tolerable

Listen to the nature’s songs

Be a miracle to someone

Be aware of possibilities

Make kindness your motto

Know there’s always beauty

Sometimes you have to look for it

Even on those cold, damp,

Windy, bone-chilling days

Help someone out

Be a hero to someone

Listen to others

Waking up every day

Give credit to others

Daily prayers and meditation

Making where you are better

Do not be judgmental

Share with others and cheer them

Be aware of the beauty

Think of others first

Relate positively to nature

The keychain id heavy, but

There is still room for a few more

Do not slander

Be true to yourself

I remember waking that long-ago morning

I will never forget

One of those things that happens

Giving feelings of regret

We had been to our property

That bordered Brook Creek

Our group of children,

Parents and grandparents

Having a wonderful time

Picnic and all, including some wine

Traveling down to the water

Required a little finessing

Worth all the effort

The stream was a blessing

Places where warm tributaries

Blended with the cool

Just a lot of fun splashing around

Until it was time to go

That was when grandma

Trying to help the little ones

Slipped and hurt her toe

She thought it would be all right

I only hoped it would

Time went on and her problem remained

That’s when I started the, “what if”, game

Nothing would change what had happened

No one was assigned the blame, so

There was no plead for forgiveness

I wish it hadn’t happened

It really made me sick, but

Sensitivity to things like that

Is part of my astrological makeup

The dear lady passed away

Close to being one hundred

Has been afflicted with dementia

For almost twenty years

I have not seen her in all that time

She wouldn’t even know me, but

I will never forget her or

Waking the next morning

Wishing it all had been a dream

When I try to stay quiet
I tend to drift off and sleep
I guess it is all right when
Your body is healing, but
I will be glad when I am
Healed.  Physical Therapy
Is necessary and I go to
Professionals twice a week
And rely on my own 
Integrity to do the ordered
Exercises on the other days
I do them inside so I cannot
Hear the music of nature:
Waves hitting the shore,
Wind blowing through trees 
And the songs of the birds
So I may start singing my own
Songs, not that I wrote, but
Songs I know.  I’ll see if that helps
Today the sun shines here
My spirit is lifted
I think of the soldiers and
Police, I pray a prayer of hope
For them and I hope they
Find (Because sometimes 
You have to look for
Beauty and goodness) and
If they find it I pray their
Spirit is lifted.  I pray that
God watches over them
And allows this war to end
I pray that the misery around
The globe turns into joy
Because leaders decided to
Do the right thing and free 
The people to live a lovely life
I pray for prisoners, slaves,
The starving and homeless
I pray for God’s chosen people
I am thankful for the miracles
Of each moment, day and night

CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI
Bhagavan often told devotees to 'Be still'. Did he mean ‘Be mentally still'? 
AS: Bhagavan's famous instruction ‘summa iru' [be still] is often misunderstood. It does not mean that you should be physically still; it means that you should always abide in the Self. 
If there is too much physical stillness, tamoguna [a state of mental torpor] arises and predominates. In that state, you will feel very sleepy and mentally dull. Rajoguna [a state of excessive mental activity], on the other hand, produces emotions and a mind which is restless. 
In sattva guna [a state of mental quietness and clarity] there is stillness and harmony. If mental activity is necessary while one is in sattva guna it takes place. But for the rest of the time, there is stillness. When tamoguna and rajoguna predominate, the Self cannot be felt. 
If sattvaguna predominates one experiences bliss, clarity and an absence of wandering thoughts. That is the stillness that Bhagavan was prescribing.

Windmill Facts

By: Dan Nebert

March 28, 2022

 

 

That little yellow thing at the top of the picture is a CAT-9 bulldozer. It is burying acres and acres of windmill blades used for “Green Energy.” Why?

 

Because these blades need to be disposed of, and there is presently no way to recycle them. That’s how green energy works! Who knew? Maybe the people that make them knew. Why would they let that cat out of the bag? After all, they are government-subsidized with tax-payer money (just like every electric car). Also, politicians do not want those huge eyesores in their backyard.

 

Right now, the average wind farm contains about 150 turbines. Each wind turbine needs 80 gallons of oil as a lubricant, and we're not talking about vegetable oil, this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude. 12,000 gallons of it for 150 turbines, and that oil needs to be replaced once a year. It is estimated that a little over 3,800 turbines would be needed to power a city the size of New York... That's 304,000 gallons of refined oil per year for just one city. That’s 25+ wind farms.

 

Now, you have to calculate every city across the nation, large and small, to find the grand total of yearly oil consumption from “clean” energy. Where do you think all that oil is going to come from? Well, since January 2021, it comes from our enemies in the Mideast. Not to mention the fact that the large equipment needed to build these wind farms runs on petroleum. As well as the equipment required for installation, service, maintenance, and eventual removal. And just exactly how eco-friendly is wind energy anyway?

 

Each turbine requires a footprint of 1.5 acres, so a wind farm of 150 turbines needs 225 acres. To power a city the size of NYC, you'd need 57,000 acres; and who knows the astronomical amount of land you would need to power the entire US. All of which would have to be clear-cut land because trees create a barrier and turbulence that interferes with the 20mph sustained wind velocity necessary for the turbine to work properly. Also, keep in mind that not all states are suitable for such sustained winds. Boy, cutting down all those trees is gonna upset a lot of green-loving tree-huggers.

 

Let's now talk about disposal.

 

The lifespan of a modern, top-quality, highly efficient wind turbine is 20 years. After that, what happens to those gigantic fiber composite blades? They cannot be economically reused, refurbished, reduced, repurposed, or recycled. So, it's off to special landfills they go. And, they're already running out of these special landfill spaces for the used blades that have already exceeded their usefulness. Those blades are anywhere from 120 ft. to over 200 ft. long, and there are 3 per turbine. And that's with only 3% to 7% of the nation currently being supplied with (intermittent, i.e., unreliable) wind energy. Just imagine if we had the other 93% of the nation on the wind grid... 20 years from now you'd have all those unusable blades with no place to put them... Then 20 years after that, and 20 years after that, and so on. “Green energy?”

 

Also, about 500,000 birds are killed each year from wind turbine blade collisions, many of which are endangered hawks, falcons, owls, geese, ducks, and eagles. Apparently, smaller birds are more agile and able to dart and dodge out of the way of the spinning blades, whereas the larger soaring birds aren't so lucky.

 

Here's another problem with windmills. The generator and switching equipment operate at high power and voltage. Everything in the windmill nacelle (look it up) is compact due to limited space, so there's a danger of arcs and electrical fires. This is prevented by putting all the electrical equipment in a pressure vessel filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), a synthetic gas that has dielectric properties which suppress arcs and fires. However, windmills leak this gas, something around a pound each per year. SF6 has an atmospheric lifetime of 3,200 years and is 22,800 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than carbon.

 

THIS IS ANOTHER ITEM THAT FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF, “GEE WHIZ, I GUESS WE DIDN’T THINK THIS THROUGH”(!!!)

ARE YOU LISTENING, AOC?

I look at the calm Lake Michigan

And see ducks and geese swimming by

No hassles, every bird is on its own

They go underwater for food

Come up and continue

The sun is shining and in the

Southeast there is a strobe-like effect

Nature has its ways of prompting

Various responses by man and animals

Including insects and birds

We are helpless and cannot cause

Nature to change and also cannot

Cause climate change

In the 1970s there was clamor about

How we were moving into an

Ice-age and it was our fault

When that didn’t work out they

Reported that we were causing

The earth to heat up.  They used

The same words, just substituting

Heat or cold and when the temperatures

Averaged the same they changed

The name of their scheme to

Climate change.  Of course, it was

Man-made.  America came up with

Many regulations to put an end to

The approaching disaster.  They

Blamed it all on carbon emissions

Carbon is needed for the growth of

Trees and plants and exchanges it

For oxygen.  Those who could

Regulated oil and gas exploration

The wind direction changed and the

Waves are moving in a different

Pathway and we have no say

We can say this:  Evil people are

Attempting to destroy America

There is no green energy.  Then costs

Of producing it are greater then

The value received from them

Many times at night

Right before sleep

I think of words that

Go together and form

A nice bit of poetry

I should get up and

Write down the poem

But I put it off thinking

I’ll scribble it down tomorrow

But then in the morning

I try to think of my great work

And cannot bring it to mind

This is hard to accept but

I cannot punish myself

This happens to everyone

And we never learn

Someone asks me a question

I know the answer but

Cannot bring it to mind

The person leaves and

Five minutes later

I have the answer

Trumpeting in my mind

I am the only one happy

The only one aware

I get a pad and pen

Take it to my bedside table

Think about taking a nap

Realize it could ruin my

Chances of scoring tonight

I pick up another pad and

Find a pencil and sit down

To write another muse

Nothing comes to mind

So I decide to write down

Some thoughts that I have

Life is a gift and a miracle

Each moment of the day

And night are miracles

The bird that flies by

Knows where to go for food

This is awesome and a miracle
