thank you Xty. i had posted New Years sentiment on the last thread, but it has disappeared. that’s OK.
hope we all have a better 2014. i believe that the big picture will improve. change will come from the bottom up. people are waking up. little people are realizing they have the power to change their lives.
a perspective is that as power (money in western society) becomes more and more concentrated, the absolute number of these powerful psychopaths declines. the process always runs to completion/collapse. these egos can never have enough, can never share. history repeats. but the next cycle will begin at a more advanced level. there is repetition but with progression. that’s right, the root word being PROGRESS!
today’s word, viscid, describes the potato dumplings i made really well. in fact we describe winter comfort food around here as “sticking to the ribs”. i hope i made enough to get through the next winter storm, which appears to be barreling down on me right now. hey, i’m willing to trade you for some of your oatmeal cookies EO.
have some fun tonight guys. as to 2013, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Happy New Year!
