Muzzling

Summer holiday opening perspective, though madness of fascist regime and confused, fearful populace carries on to keep us on our toes ... the latest wheeze dividing the people, as virus takes a break ... maybe a feature of this one, according to expert, uncorrupted epidemiologists. .. a seasonal event, explaining Australian outbreaks, Kiwis suppressing it for now ...

So, soon after the easing of restrictions to allow the tourist trade to function, a call for face covering from customers in shops, mandatory except for phobics. .. shop staff, meanwhile exempted ... sensible cover for the scapegoats, since the current vogue for masks, especially ones resembling sanitary pads, are unsafe if used all day ... cheerleading media say masks and encourage fearful folk to castigate those with another view ... dividing family and friends ... let's see how that plays out ... looks like the junta will carry on with their devious games as long as we comply ... no police action required when we control each other.

Speaking of police, they are hard to find on holiday in the rural and rather wealthy South ... community stations unstaffed,  as proper information sought out regarding the masked balls-up due Friday ... or is it Saturday?

Enquiries of shopkeepers so far agree: face covering required, masks cheaper and easier and ludicrously trendy, muzzles metaphorical ... none of it thank you somewhat optional for phobics ... staff use clearly optional and rightly so, since prolonged wearing surely detrimental to lung function.

This holiday mostly not focusing on the madness, but stepping back ... enjoying some nostalgia, not what it used to be, apparently ... camping or posh hotel? All the same to me ... though weather makes the difference ... open ended still, one week on .. slowly West ... Studland Bay today and booked tomorrow too ... after that, who knows? Let's see!

One Metre Blue

A day at the seaside with blue one metre reality appearing in Seaton Sluice, though transition not complete from red two metre danger seen just two weeks ago. Masks not much in evidence, though hotly contested amongst the humans ... if not the beings.
As usual, the data is vague ... plausible deniability tucked away in plain sight, ready for the tribunals soon to come. Second spikes suggested for October, handy for the next flu season in the North, though Anzacs persevere with lockdowns on low numbers and have their own left right game, though mortality much the same ...

Blue signals holiday time, as long as we comply ... though closer reading of the guidance shows masks mean face covering, a gentler disguise and even don't worry at all, if claiming mental health concerns ... phobia the get out clause ... though mask wearers sometimes like to disapprove of those claiming the right to free their face ... a sinister tactic also employed, unwittingly or not, by the vaccine brigade, sharp to insist their fear trumps the other's preference for the immune system. .. in some realities itself compromised by current strains of Big Pharma Gates WHO eugenics poison. .. allegedly. Top down organisations with World in the name not to be trusted now ... bought and paid for in the exponentially expanding universe driving the fascist strand ... other futures depend on the choices we all make now ... this hopeful blogger opts for a kinder bottom up world thank you ... Think Global, Act Local the cry, peer to peer we find the compassion pretty much everywhere ... those too rich are often sick with money love and fear of not enough.

Perspective pursued at Wear and Dao with a trip down South, though not in trains even with permission to go free from facial restraint. Shopkeepers and their insurers already wondering how to discourage shoplifters empowered to wear disguise in-store ... maybe exemptions for kleptomaniacs will be added to the list? Mad!

Let's see if Studland Bay, the Naturist Paradise not far from much maligned Bournemouth beach, can turn up a mask or facial covering or two ... just the face, nothing else ...

Children's Playground open now in Stanhope too, bluish though darker than Northumberland ... it's a darkish game they're playing this time round, with specious grounds for depriving children of their playgrounds ... someone thinks 27 the safe number for this playground by the river ... they really take us for fools ...

Hols start Wednesday, Daisy raring to go after being rested too long. A week or two, let's see ... open ended anyway ... first stop just offered with old young school friend en route ... day by day the trip unfolds, this time car-borne for convenience to ease the inanities a little ... heatwave here we come!

Virus Holidays

Rulers here in DUK decree a relaxation of martial law ... other regimes too hammering out agreements with details of how we and they may take a holiday and share our diseases, existentially ... about time too, hiding away flattening curves was always a deluded plan, given how flu works ... get the healthy infected and the vulnerable protected seems more sensible ... though I'm not a doctor or epidemiologist. .. confusing messages from dodgy politicians and corrupted scientists cover more sinister agendas, essential system resets ... the how being the question ... this world is changing so fast that old ways of excess can't hold ... but is humanity evolved enough to keep our heads and hearts combined?

Let's try. We've had enough of of psychopaths, and over-empaths go in circles, wallowing in suffering for all the world.

Cool insight combined with warm compassion the Buddha way ... quoted since diary says it's Dharma Day ... as well as decreed celebratory clapping day, to remind us in DUK who's still in charge ... not for too much longer though, as pennies drop all around ...

Since "we are the world and the world is us", the choice is ours, as contingent futures open up.

The editor heads off to France tonight, having visited the other day ... his second home awaits, though who knows, maybe Ciblat will prove preferable to Darlo in the end? Bon Voyage mon ami, as they might say over there.

Peace reigns here, after some disturbance, struggling with perceived iniquity ... games go on, with breaks for rest ... all the world's a stage in human form and we came to play many parts, artfully if possible, not to win but learn ... perspective helps.

Light still early here, peak abundance continues, energy running steadily and equanimity settles to a new balance. Deeper ties with other humans evolve for mutual learning.

A windy start, though not indoors. Weather rarely prevents a walk though ... well never in recent memory, though one day the body may resist perhaps ... or just keel over on the fell ... we rarely get to choose, but passing over healthy seems a plan ... dodging pain and suffering this time round?
The Buddhists say pain is inevitable, suffering optional ... a current practice, though serious pain has yet to test it!

Happy Dharma Day to all you Buddhists out there!
And Happy Clapping if that's your thing ...
