Saying Farewell To 2017



     
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."  Thank You~ Charles Dickens, & so it remains... 


     It's that time of year when we attempt to tie up some of the loose ends we've seemingly cast off during the furries of our lives. 2017 has certainly been one of those times when darken clouds brought forth storms ravaging many a body, mind & spirit. Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes, & raging wild fires are now part of this year's natural world history. Also political unrest throughout the world continues to bring forth manmade loss of life & ongoing suffering. In order to remain sane many of us continue to find it healing to help even when the tragedy is in another part of the world by acting local- we attend benefit concerts or prayer vigils to support one another whenever we can, & continue in our involvement with community groups that support our philosophical activism which is purposeful & fulfilling, working very hard to find creative ways in order to donate financial aid to areas that need our help both local & far away.
     Here in the United States hundreds of thousands remain upset regarding the Presidential Election of 2016 because the person who was elected as president has unleashed a tsunami of hate, disrespect & lack of compassion. The disrespect coming from his administration is aimed not only at human beings, but at our very planet. It is because of this that I haven't been able to compose my thoughts for the Peace Garden for sometime now. 
     The intention of this blog is to put forth thoughts & ideas to benefit peace in this world, & the challenge was & is how to go forward in doing so without turning these pages into a space of anx & grievances. After much thought & consideration I've decided to continue with this blog by contributing to our garden of ideas which is the mission of Mother Lightning's Peace Garden. I will continue to share perspectives of what it means from a person of my gender born after WWII in a newly released Nuclear Age- a time that was most historic & has shadowed Our World ever since, because now it becomes more relevant with each passing day to, Make Art Not War~xo~
