I awoke earlier than usual to a still dark sky. Lights of LA reflecting back down from the low level clouds that stubbornly cling to their
place because of the Pacific's marine inland flow. The tormenting dreams again, well, always. Do what you want with me but leave my love
alone. But they will not and probably never will. The morning air is thick today with rain; still we wait for the first true rain of this year that
is the driest on record. The city of angels is a desert after all and the theft of vital water from the mighty Colorado river that barely
slackens the thirst of 11 million souls can only last for so long. Standing naked at my window and hidden by the darkness, I breathe the air
deeply into my chest and listen to the wail of yet another passing ambulance. No stars greet my presence, it is the city.
As the walls of the coronary arteries narrow with plaque and the surrounding tissue looses its ability to stretch in later years and with
damage by the environmental stresses our body is subjected to, a heart attack is the reasonable and logical outcome. Sufficient amount
of life permitting blood can't maintain adequate volume in the limited space. Oxygen is not delivered by red blood cells even when
desperately needed, waste is not carried away from the cells in a timely fashion, white cells are not allowed to progress quickly to the areas
of concern where they are required. The system begins to falter, the organism begins to suffer.
The universe is continually expanding from The big Bang. Galaxies are moving out and away from each other and Mr. Hawking's
formula's show that this is so. When celestial bodies do have the fortune to meet in the ether, inexplicably large amounts of energy are
blasted into the emptiness of space by the resultant collisions. The penalty of physics, when an irresistible force meets an immovable
object both are seemingly devastated. The violent and accidental meeting is... energetic and, not without it's benefits. What we as a race
call disaster, the cosmos calls rebirth. An Oak tree drops acorns primarily from its outer leafy branches in the hope that, at the edge of its
rooted perimeter, the acorn will take it's own root and grow, just an arms reach away. Neither tree blocking the sun light from the other
though, competition is inevitable.
I passed the 101 freeway and watched the frenzied drivers attempting to deliver their packages, their knowledge, and their importance.
Horns blared and drivers swerved and cursed and I thought to myself.. A coronary bypass is a solution to a problem but it does not
address cause. As growth progresses whether checked, controlled or unlimited, there is but one result and that seems the failure of the
organism or catastrophic collision. Too large, too congested, too bloated by resultant cancerous and parasitic systems.
A good horse will make 30 miles between small Texas towns in a day. Home grown vegetables with meat from the back pasture and room
to breathe. Those small towns may not be the epicenters of commerce but, I will guarantee that when push comes to shove, those good
people in that small town will survive. With no electricity and no grocery store to bring food in to them. My people can survive and thrive.
New York was on it’s back in 2 days with no electricity. I’m just observing.
