Disappointed....
I guess it's just the state of affairs these days. I look out at all the things that are happening, watching what comes out of my more vocal mouths of friends and I can't help but be disappointed. One side jumps on one thing painting with a broad brush, then the other side responds with the same broad brush. I know there are those who are standing next to me, shaking their heads in rhythm with me. If I didn't have a sinus issue I'd be hitting my head against a desk.
I'm tired of it. But I've decided to take the phrase "get your house in order first" a little more seriously. So my house is looking kinda like a house that people live in. My workroom is coming along. Haven't spent as much time up there as I want to, but hey - gotta get a house in order. The coming dark half of the year is helping to pull me in. It's a good time to spend more time "in the head" than out in the world. Maybe it'll help me when the light half gets here and I'll be ready to go out and get stuff done in the greater world.
All of that said...I call to those of us who stand in the middle. We need to speak out more towards those who occupy both ends of the spectrum, yet commit the same sins. Highlight them. Shine light there and hold up a mirror and force them to see themselves. The longer we let this linger, the worse it becomes. We may not be the force in power, but we at least have the opportunity to counter the influences that are out there. Hopefully, we'll get through to at least a few.
