Above It All

By Vickilane

As we sit on our porch with our adult beverages, watching the fading light below us, it's easy, at times, to feel removed from it all--from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and especially from the ideological and political battles raging out there.

But I know that it affects us--we still buy groceries and gas and fuel oil for our heater. And our current regime is dragging our nation's reputation in the mud (or worse.)Still, there's reason to be hopeful. Bolsonaro's defeat in Brazil, the weakening of Netanyahu in Israel, as well the defeat of a Trump ally in Serbia may just possibly show which way the wind is blowing.

May it be a strong and cleansing wind here in the USA that sweeps away the corruption and incompetence of this hateful regime.

I'm cautiously hopeful--but also wary of the regime's potential for overturning the will of the people.Interesting times . . .
