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 ...
