WAVING TREES

It is too late in the year for nests of robins and

a good thing as the forty to fifty miles per hour

wind for six hours last night and early morning

would have blown them down as it did several

trees, which knocked out electricity for about

three hours and some are still waiting for it. 

Their homes are cold and damp as rain

accompanied the wind.  Today I look at

a startling bright inland sea with rapid flowing

two-foot waves.  Relentless is the best word

to describe the scenario.  Today is world prayer

day for all the captive people around the globe. 

Ruthless leaders are oblivious to the pain and

suffering, disease, and sickness; the hunger

and thirst; death causing malnutrition. 

All saints day and all souls day have just past

and as we reflect we wonder why our world

is in such shambles.  It does not make us happy

and we know that prayer is the only weapon

we have, so we pray.  We gained an hour this

early morning and most people would like the

savings time episode would end.  In the spring

we will lose that hour as we move our clocks

forward.  I may have been useful when we

were and agrarian nation, but that is all by

the board and darkness will be earlier and

longer for a while and when you evaluate it

we haven’t gained much light at all.  If we gained

an hour each day for a month we would have

gained a day and then some.  We should try

that and call it leap day and give everyone

the day off.  I would vote for that and this

Tuesday I will be voting again.  I don’t know

how many on the left are happy with what

has happened to our country in the past

two years, but without any critical thinking

they will vote as though they like open borders,

fentanyl deaths, inflation, high gas and energy

prices, rampaging crime and failing schools. 

I would like a world prayer day for them,

hoping that they will wake up.  Their proud

utterings and use of the blame game make me sick. 

We can only hope that the silent majority is out in force.
