I took this image on my ride through the CSU Oval for coffee this morning. I have noticed this scene before but this is the first time I stopped to accept the photo. I did enjoy the BBQ yesterday, ate too much, loved time with family and so very grateful for my grandson-in-law’s safe return from his deployment in the Middle East.
Tao Te Ching
Find contentment within.
Be aware of how you affect your surroundings.
Allow freedom to flourish around you.
Do not impose or dominate.
This is what it means to be sustainable.
I am processing my feelings about this country’s actions taken yesterday. Finding many unanswerable questions running through my mind. How much escalation of hatred have we against Americans? How many more casualties of war have we just brought on? Anyway, there seems to be an extreme attachment to power, control, hatred, and inflated egos. We have proven for centuries that violence against someone (a country or nation) will not cause them to succumb to our will but only harden hearts. I’ve said enough. Still processing and thanks for listening to my ramblings! It has been another hot day here.

I’m in much the same place with my feelings on recent events. Sadly, it’s never the ones who make the all-important decisions who have to pay the ultimate price.

You and Faye are spot on as the ones who are making insane decisions are paying the ultimate price. Well maybe their political status.

Bombs are never the answer. And yet, war mongers keep getting elected. Why? Greed again. The war machine is profitable for some. There will be a price to pay for the actions of a petty man and some will pay the ultimate. Agghhh!
It’s hotter than the sun here also. Errands and chores get done early.
Be cool. 😎

You mentioned greed and profit as motivating factors. I agree it’s what’s going on. There doesn’t seem to be any forethought into who’s gonna pay and the price that will be paid. I hope you get those errands and chore’s done before it gets hot.
