Good Things about wearing glasses: you can take them off and not be able to see things you don't want to see. This is handy in various situations, such as speaking to a large group of people, or being in a place where you don't feel comfortable making eye contact. Maybe you just want to feel fog or mist in your eyes, or you want all the scenery to look more like a water color, diffused greens. When you take off your glasses you can be more alone with yourself. Being able to do that is nice, perhaps even making up for having to set things on your nose every day, and not being able to have a stash of cheap fantastic sunglasses. 

I'll be 64 in 8 days and I know what I want. To not have to talk. To observe, to think, to scribble. Heaven.

As it is I must talk to 2nd graders, which can be a lovingly enjoyable thing or exasperating. And I'll have to talk in meetings, nauseating. I will need to have the necessary conversations for conducting transactions, and sharing the day with loved ones, but oh, how I'd love a vow of silence.

We all know the world has entered an era we cannot escape. No normal, waiting in the wings. Truths will come out.  Roleplayers behind the scenes will be revealed. I'm sorry that we are finding out that we are members of a species that found it desirable to screw the planet and everyone on it for power and money. I'm sorry for how much suffering is coming our way. I'm sorry because it may not be fair; maybe you and I are not to blame. But here we are. 

 Solutions to the immediate troubles are in the moment, as always, so choose the most helpful responses as i know you will, show the goodheartedness you possess, as i know you will, and if you are called to play a pivotal role, godspeed.

Because things don't look good. And we can't unsee it.
