There is a movie called "the Beast Within" from 1982, which is about the cicada. Rob Zombie also wrote a song about the "Seventeen Year Locust" They are extremely loud. After they mate they leave behind a creepy carapace which can be found clinging to trees. We would carefully remove them and wear them on our sweaters when we were kids.
Our local Bank sent fraud alerts and consfiscated our debit cards. We had to wait to recieve new cards in the mail. The fraudulent charge was our annual Amazon Prime payment. Don't ask me, I don't know. Still waiting for our new debit cards... In God I Trust.
I mourn the quiet casualties of this silent war. No one see the troubles you bear. You become invisible. I see it. I see it in everyone I know. But there are so many I do not know. Seek a church. Find Community. We have to to help each other find the way. The Lord awaits, just reach out. You are not alone. I love you.
Well stated. Don't take the bait. We are one. Maintain your focus. Stay positive. Show respect, be a light, show the way.
