Mount St. Helens in Washington State in the US is an active volcano some 300 miles from White Rock in B.C., Canada. Peaceful at a distance, it can erupt as it did in 1980 killing many. Now in Los Angeles, an eruption of fires brought ruin to a community that largely rejected the man who speaks of Canada becoming the 51st US state. The vengeful hostile nature of Trump's vibes by chance came alive in apocalyptic ways in LA. Some, who likely love the escapism movies provide but despise "Hollywood", seem almost gleeful in response to the horror unfolding, some want to withhold aid even as others risk their lives to help. Amid new snapshots along worn paths, a few words inspired by heroic actions and reactions that harbour the pungent whiff of retribution.
At home we've seen stunning red skies some mornings and nights but no fires.
In the evenings, street lamps glow mysteriously as if they are moons.
Some mornings are soaked in moisture and mist.
I see familiar messages along my usual walks.
They are hopeful signs so maybe, maybe ... someday?
Luckily, there is joy to find in little things no matter what others say.
However, there is something very, very big afoot we pretend not to see. Those "crazy environmentalists" and others who dare to explore climate change solutions such as a rebated carbon tax are often attacked mercilessly on the internet full of intentional misinformation. Truth is also there. Perhaps you'll recognize a bit of it
HERE.
