We are at war. Your attention feeds power. We are an unstoppable, focused, resourceful, force of nature. Don't forget to Eat, Drink and Be Merry. We do this for humanity, not to loose our own.
We fight to return freedom, joy and hope. Sometimes its as small as attending a march, saying NO, sharing news, protesting, discussing events. Try not to let it get you down. Easier said then done, at least right now in this minute I can take my own advice. Wish you all well Frens
A predawn walk each morning helps to keep me centered.
I'm lucky enough to live in the suburbs and can walk for an hour before sunrise and the streets are deserted, the air is usually crisp and still, the sky is full of stars and everything is peaceful.
I listen to my favorite podcasts and often talk with Jesus Christ about many things, including the podcast I'm enjoying.
I get to see the sunrise each morning and smell the air and taste the changing of the seasons.
The white cat at the end of my street usually waits for me as I return home, to say good morning and receive some pats and attention. I still have no idea what his name is.
And when I get to work, the muscles in my legs haven't recovered yet and my blood is still hot from the exercise and my mind is full of discussions with Jesus and new and interesting things I learned from my podcast.
I know that today is a good day, everyday, even before my workmates look like they are awake.
What's the podcast??
I listen to a range of podcasts from political to military and prepping, but my favorite is a little embarrassing because it's silly: I listen to a lot of Coast to Coast AM paranormal podcasts about famous UFO cases, famous haunting, conspiracy theories, strange events in history. Those topics are fun and it's interesting to get a glimpse of all the weird communities that are out there and what they believe and how often they meet for conventions. I'm the sort of person who things almost anything is interesting if you take the time to gain an appreciation of it.
Loved Art bell
Me too. #MeToo
Some of my dearest memories are of being 20 years old and driving home from working in restaurants and listening to Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM... when the streets are deserted and the night is cold and the moon is bright and I'm driving home in my first car, warm and happy and completely lost in tales about topics I'd never heard of, surprising UFO cases, famous haunting, strange historic events, political conspiracies and reports of cryptids places not far from where I lived.
These were moments that I truly felt at peace when everything in the world was right.
This was before the internet was in every home, back when missing something on the radio or TV meant it was gone forever... and Art Bell's show was a four hour long deep dive into topics and content that you couldn't find in a dozen libraries.
The theme from Coast to Coast AM still gives me chills.
I remember 20 year old me, sitting in my driveway with the car in park, hanging on every word Art said, not wanting to miss a moment of his show, waiting for an ad break so I could run up three fights of stairs to my apartment and resume listening.
Pure joy.
I hope Art knows how much he was loved.
