Thursday, July 13, 2006 | World News from Political Waves IF YOU'RE looking for life to make sense today, don't bother ... it will only confuse and make you even more anxious. Trying to find a clear thread of logic is like herding cats ... or getting the baby ducklings scooped into the laundry basket [well, ok -- that's an entire story, but you get the point.]  This is ... of course ... what "winds of change" looks like -- it remains to be seen what Wicked Witch the house falls on, and where the Yellow Brick Road takes us.   I'd say, philosophically speaking, that this is a day to simply observe and not react too much ... allow, because there's no control to be had and trying to do so will only crack your bones.  The hysteria swirling like a firestorm on planet Earth doesn't need OUR added energy, today ... in fact, it would benefit from our calm.  Try for it -- get a massage ... or give one -- send a message to those who are dear to you telling them how much you appreciate their loving presence in your life ... or channel one from Spirit that will soothe you -- have a hot bath ... or a hot fudge sundae, whatever makes you feel pampered.  Just take it easy today and don't lock into the ain't-it-awful's ... you know this drill -- a-i-a's are "with us always."  Pour out some love on the possibilities, today -- treat people with respect, gentleness, all the tenderness you can muster.  What you give out today will return to you -- we heal the world one kindness at a time; and the only actual logic we can follow today is that we are helpless to fix the big picture but we are critical to the small one at our fingertips.   So -- with a deep breath and as much detachment as possible -- lets look at a world in the grip of hysteria.  First, Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran ... Iraq is occulted today by other mayhem.  Next, North Korea, China, Japan.  Last, India and Pakistan.  Missing from this post, but worth mentioning, is an escalation of violence in Africa ... in Chad, the population is running into DARFUR looking for a better circumstance -- I think that says something about surrealism of the moment.    And ... with fingers in all of it ... the U-nited States of Amurikka.   BE Peace today, Jude moderator@planetwaves.net
