As Time Goes By
It's becoming a challenging year. It reminds me of the epilogue to the play The Wake of Prisoners that I often quote:" Thank God our time is now when wrong comes up to meet us everywhere". It certainly seems to be doing that. In such a short period of time we have lost one of our finest stateswomen, the cost of living based on the war in Ukraine and the global weather, seems to be streaking along beyond our purse strings, every time we go to do the groceries. Donald Trump seems to be immortal as well as covered in Teflon, and people are being exceedingly nasty to each other on social media. That's without the climate crisis hitting us at home and wiping out the North Islands ability to keep us in many items of food stuff. I find myself pivoting backwards and forwards between wanting to be here to witness what happens next, and wondering if I can actually cope with it. But I trust Life's ability to self-regulate so on we go into the next chapter of what the Christians call the End Times. But I know that Life transforms itself constantly. We humans tend to have tunnel vision, brought about by too much watching of the bottom line.
