A Former President


 

Just some added reflections. 

He tried to overturn a presidential election in a democratic nation of which he was president.  The United States of America.

Dear Mr. Former President,

You cannot gallop through a term of presidency on a bouncy horse as though it were child’s play, as your government officials are struggling to deal with the lack of having any real presidential leadership and also with the fear of retribution if they don’t show loyalty and support to their dysfunctional leader.  When you become the president of a nation, you kind of really do have to start taking all matters of government seriously, including representing yourself in a mature and trustworthy presidential manner.  This would require some actual worry and concern about the matters facing our nation and about our country being a strong and unified nation.  It would also require concern about your own words, image and behavior as our nations leader.  If this is not what you truly seek to do and feel if you are once again elected as our nations president, then maybe you should instead consider a path of spiritual humility, and trust in its guidance. Maybe you could just enjoy your wealth and start listening for thoughts about things that you don’t have answers to.  You might actually find that seeking answers to these questions is important and of concern to you.  You might want to engage in a little self examination.  

Sincerely,

An American citizen


If only this was possible for our former president.

North Pole Smoking Controversy

I found myself recalling that the Santa Claus of years gone by smoked a pipe.  It was even described in the book,  Twas The Night Before Christmas.   “The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth.  And the smoke it encircled his head like wreath.”   It’s amazing how times can change.  Nowadays, a smoking Santa would never be part of a children’s book.  I don’t know if any other human beings in history have ever had the experience of seeing the world change so much, and in so many ways, over a few decades of their lives.  I doubt it.  What a pivotal time in human history have those of us living now found ourselves born into. So what is a poor Santa Claus to do without a pipe?  I don’t know.  Maybe replace it with a candy cane. #candyisdandy Okay, I was wrong.  I guess for the sake of tradition and a traditional story, Santa is still sometimes shown with a pipe, at least in this Dollar Tree version of  “Twas The Night Before Christmas”.  It’s a really stupid looking pipe though.  Maybe

Science Fiction

 Oh dear, I think I need a unique space for my sci-fi thoughts and ideas even though I have never in my life been a fan of movies or programs or literature of the sci-fi genre.  (Ok, I did like “Lost In Space” and “Land Of The Lost” as a kid, and I did, as an adult, become interested in watching some episodes of “Star Trek: The Next Generation”.)  Anyway, the space will not be a place for any actual stories, but rather just a place for my random thoughts and ideas.

Nutrition & Diet

 If my diet and eating choices are to blame for my heart issue, I am still in denial.  I haven’t changed anything.  Thinking about this, I realize that my cardiologist never said one word to me about food or my diet or making any changes.  I am wondering if she places more weight on the genetic component of these things as opposed to environmental factors.  I don’t know.  Thinking back on it, though, I find it a little odd that food and diet were never mentioned even when I returned for my follow up appointment.
