One Moon Past Solstice

One moon past solstice and shit continues to hit the fan. It seems the reactionaries, terrorists, 1%ers and those cheering for fundamentalist beliefs have taken the reigns for a final assault on the vast majority of us who advocate peace, cooperation and security based on meeting needs rather than killing those who are "different". Tragically, both the Israelis and Vladimir Putin claim moral high ground whilst their policies threaten innocents and create depraved crimes upon humanity. Peace has never poured from the end of a gun, only death and destruction can come from invasions, bombings, drones and air strikes. Closer to home, our failed Central American and South American policies are coming home to roost. Undermining duly elected governments, illegal funding of rebels and foisting puppet leaders on a region so close to home as well as the protracted "drug war" have led to trillions of dollars being shunted to thugs and terrorist organizations with enough capital to hire their own police forces, pay off police and continue to exploit our inflated markets. In just one moon, there have been thousands of children walking into our country to find a better life but no one has told them that in one of our biggest cities, murders have increased to more than one per hour. The anger and angst that is being felt throughout the people of planet Earth has reached a fever pitch. We are daily assaulted by horrifying incidents, the biggest floods, the biggest wildfires, the biggest earthquakes ever recorded are becoming routine. One moon past Solstice and we are coming into a bitter harvest.

Living by the seasons means that at this point in the year (in this part of the planet) we need to be harvesting, storing, securing the investment that we have made to hold us through the coming winter. Waging war, taking on futile fights and trying to take over through militarism is not sustainable. The writing has been on the wall for a long time, but few wanted to read the message. As we ramp up to a new normal, what humans can do to stem the tide of Idiocracy is three fold. First, teach and learn as much as possible, about whatever turns you on. Second, respect the children and the elders for without the first, there is no hope and without the second, there would be no us. Third, each one teach one about the beautiful abundance that comes from ratcheting back our reliance on fossil fuels, redefining our wants and needs, reducing, reusing and composting. In nature, no organism produces waste, only raw materials for some other organism to use to meet their needs. It is time to integrate this fact into everything we humans do.

I am spiritually and psychically crushed by the events of this moon and will be taking a brief hiatus from writing this blog. I will continue to write my seven posts per moon, but for the next ten days I will be silent in honor of the spirits lost through the recent aggression of idiots everywhere with far too much technology in their hands. Normally I tell people that silence is complicity, but for the next week and a half, I'm going to be anything but complicit. I will be focusing much more narrowly on my community and fixing something that has been broken for a long, long time.
