Whap you over the head sometimes, or gossamer tickling. Everything is a tunnel, tunnels meeting. Everything meets tunnels, travels them. The wind is tunnels; the leaves flying off the trees are tunnels. Emotions, too. Books. Glances. Friends. All our relations.

Related are the current mass migration of war refugees from Syrian and Afghanistan regions, and the wars there with radical breakaways from Islam, such as ISIS/ISIL and Al-Qaeda. Caught up in this at close range are debates and fears over “illegal” immigration. At a greater remove and still related is the rash of mass murders. Clearly there is anger and its stronger cousin fear at work.

We have a system of quagmires all flowing into one another. Not one is more basic than the rest.

We must work on all at once. Picking out one only (besides the fact it would be impossible to gain a consensus on such a choice) unbalances the system further, causing it to spin even more erratically. No one is in control.

It needs all of us, many actions, little ways and large, strong and gentle, to right the spinning world. Let us belong. Let us work.

Please pass it on.

I use journaling to clear out the junk. I use meditation/contemplation to fly through the tunnels. Tunnels dance deifically.

Some current technology is hard to use: things which require that you have a cell phone and are able to transfer texts between phone and email; things that require you use a certain browser and email combination. How frustrating that is! How bully-ish on the part of the providers. How unfair to those of us who do not play with the market-leaders who think they are the only ones who matter!

Mind is what you do with your brains.

Your mind can grow in flexibility as you age.

You can see new things. You can think new thoughts. You can open a new trailhead.
