Yesterday was a good day. I attended St. Barnabus Church and enjoyed Martha’s sermon on the Trinity. It was good to ride my Harley. I’d left Madigan home with Laura. On the way back I’d stopped at Home Hardware to pick up 3M Command damage free hooks to hang pictures in the new Thor Hurricane motorhome. Laura said she and Madigan has slept in.
After coffee we’d done the hour walk to the duck pond and back. I’d taken pictures of a heron and a red winged black bird. It was a good hike. Reading westerns and napping in the afternoon.
The American Army 250 year anniversary coincided with President Trump’s 79 year birthday. I thought him older but then I’ve become older. Mentally I don’t notice it but physically my back complains. Apparently he’d watched France’s military parade with macron years past and wanted the same for America. I enjoyed it. Disappointingly the left Democrats tried to upstage the national event with protest riots claiming it a “no king’ day. Ironically it appeared to be mostly retired white middle class people. ICE was rounding up and deporting illegal aliens. I was shocked to see that in the past previous presidents had done this for 10s of millions. This is the back bone of the black market economy and obviously central to the criminal class. One notice said that $500 a day was being offerered for ‘protestors’ to march. I remember decades back when $50 was the going rate for the weekly DTES fashion march. Soros is under investigation in Congress for funding these events that become riots. BLM and Antifida the Marxist communist organizations have millions in funding from his ‘open borders’ , the migration movements that are providing ‘scab voters’.
I enjoyed the military parade on uTube. In the 60’s my attraction to Vietnam protests was principally the gorgeous women, great music and marijuana. I suspect 90% of the crowds of the day were there for that. We all wanted to ‘give peace a chance’ and ‘all we need is love’. It was before the Beatles wrote ‘we don’t want a revolution’ and hypocrisy wasn’t in full swing. Today it looked like the sort of crowd that came out for the fireworks at the Military Parade and the Protests before the illegals and rioters took over. I remember leaving a demonstration as it went off rail when I was younger and loved Gandhi and Martin Luther King. This pro terrorist anti Israel Hamas backed crowd is a different kettle of fish.
I remember Ganesh telling us that the jewel thrives that broke into his store and robbed it were a gang that travelled all over the US and Canada coinciding their one day in and out robberies on flights with riots. Criminals are sophisticated. I never got a 100 inch color tv at a peace rally in my day but that seems more the attraction now the only fans and legal pot have made that attraction less appealing. Certainly the lawless and illegal aliens had a major reason to want their ‘gravy train’ to continue. Lots of motivation but not godly by any means. Peace and love had been spiritual but today it’s mostly like the Buffalo Springfield say, ‘people carrying signs, mostly say hooray for our side’. Gordon Lightfoot’s Black Day in July is more like it but the participants seem more like ‘rebels without a cause’. Putin described his days as a KGB agent in Europe promoting the anti war rallies to undermine the western world. I’m old enough to appreciate law and order today.
Today Laura accepted the coffee i made for her before we carried her stuff to her car. She’s terrific coming mostly for weekends. I used to go to her place before Saipan when she lived in a suite that accepted dogs and parking downtown wasn’t such a challenge. Now she’s been driving out to see us. Madigan barks when she drives off waving in her red SMART car. He really likes when we three are together, a bigger gang. He and I are buds but Laura is his love. He’s sleeping again. At least we put up the picture Laura’s sister, Carolyn gave us. It has Gilbert riding on the motorcycle with me. It personalizes the space just as the hanging of knots and nautical signs my brother Ron gave me does.
We walked around the park. I prayed. In my mind I am asking God to help me know him and to show me the way he wishes for me today. I felt lifted higher as I mentally expressed gratitude for Laura’s visit, the walk with Madigan, the greenery and tranquility of the park. I really like the elegance of the Thor. I booked the long weekend in Sunshine Valley as a trial run. We plan a few weekend trips so that I’m ready for the snowbird drive south in winter to Long Beach, Fountain of Youth and Arizona. I am really enjoying being a virtual doctor. I like helping patients but I don’t like going into the city or even offices. For so many years I had offices in my home or on my property. Today I still see people at home but mostly work on video and phone with weekly trips for a half day to the clinic. Then when I go away to the woods or the sun I take my laptop top and ipad and iPhone with me and thanks to Starlink and cell coverage with the Oscar program I’m able to do psychopharmacology, assessment and therapy.
The big event for me on the weekend was running out of propane so not having hot water to shower. Thanks to Propane Depot I bought the connector and was able to fill the Motorhome partially from the propane tank I have for barbecuing.
I’m enjoying Russel Brand. I’ve followed his sobriety journey and enjoyed his Christian baptism. He too thinks of reality as potentially a digital cyberspace product of the gaming universe of our present. I feel the lighteners of being when I consider the space within atoms and that gravity remains controversial. Teletransportation and communication make enlightenment much more tangible.
God is omniscient. He’s everywhere, everything. I am God and God is all. He’s omnipotent, all powerful. I wake up each day with pleasure in the day. It once was a struggle and I had horrible nightmares but today my dreams are commonly of journey and places. Increasingly I have memories of positive experiences, My perspective is lifting. I’m looking up to God. I’m lifting my head and feeling lifted on eagle’s wings. I love that feeling and sense of expansiveness. God is omnipresent. I meet him in the now I’d like a more articulate communication less mysterious, less the wee small voice but I know that all of my life is God’s communication and it’s good, I thought the other day that my mortgage was a partnership with the bank and rather than thinking negatively I saw this as a relationship and more evidence of positive participation.
This week is the G7 and I’m looking forward to PM Carney making better financial decisions for Canadians so we can collectively benefit from the advances in AI and nano technology. I am thankful for the radical abundance available. I was really glad when both the US and UK back Israel attack on the terrorist regime of Iran. This is all just news.
In my personal world I felt the wind therapy that Dave and Rogina and Carolyn talk about when they get on the motorcycles and ride I do feel that on my Harley. My Vespa is so enjoyable like the best enhanced bicycle in the city but my Harley seems a country road machine and sings to me when I’m on it.
I am grateful and so appreciate each day of sobriety and all the gifts of recovery and love of God. Thank you Jesus.
