SAY WHAT?

No, seeing is not believing any more. Did Bill Gates really question climate change? Did he contribute to the new ball room? Will colleges in Oklahoma erect golden statues of Charlie Kirk, who said, “I can’t stand the word empathy. Actually, I think empathy is a made up new age term that it does a lot of damage.” I think I heard him say that.

If AI technology really devours millions of jobs, what will they do with all the dead bodies? Every day and in many ways reality has either taken leave or an unloved little boy is set on taking everybody out with him. A zoo is urging pet owners to sacrifice their trusting pets to feed another animal. Trust is on the block and it feels like it’s beyond redemption. And didn’t I read that another head pf state overseas sald that humans should quit telling each other “I love you”?

Oh, and who was it anyway that said “Vengeance is mine?”

ENOUGH REALITY!

A Bit of WONDERMENT

Published September 20, 2021 by Nan Mykel

I resonated to Wislawa Szymborska’s poem Wonderment which I happened upon in the bookcase next to my chair, in Sounds, Feelings, Thoughts, Princeton Paperbacks 1981. Since I’m not clear on all the flavors of the copyright law I’ll only share a portion, for your education:

WONDERMENT

Why to excess then in one single person?

This one not that? And why am I here?

On a day that’s a Tuesday? In a house not a nest?

In skin not in scales? With a face not a leaf?

Why only once in my very own person?

Precisely on earth? Under that little star?….

(The poet was the winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize for Literature).

Go to the url above for the scoop. I don’t know enough to say anything about it but wow. All the recent cutting edge discoveries are making me a little nervous, however. As a member of homo sapiens I wonder if we’re getting a little too big for our britches–at least our humane britches?
