The Windmills of the mind

The heat wears you down. Mentally more then physically. Lethargic. Not in the mood for anything except lounging around.
Maybe it is just my system telling me I neede to slow down for a bit. And I did.

Last couple of weeks have done nothing really concrete. Cleaned out the pad....one good thing. Didn't feel like dust anymore. The workers have carried out the bulk of the work here. Still lots to be done. But it can wait for a bit now.

Should be coming in again to carry on next week when school starts for the kids. It's like an invisable signal that tells you summer is over so let's get on with the rest of things.

But in the meantime one can afford to laze around for a bit. Call it a well deserved break.

And that is when the windmill of the mind seem to swill around aimlessly. How funny. So much has changed in these couple of decades, and yet everything seems to remain the same.

We are still at each other's throats. We still only hear about war, talk of war, drums of war, and still some more just in case you didn't get it the first time.

It seems those that are craving the seats of power have nothing better to do then play war games.

In the meantime, the silent voice of the planet keeps screaming at us to change. To stop abusing oursleves and our intelligence. But few if any, listen. Everybody talks, but nobody listens.

And in the cacophony of noise that we emit, the sound of reason is lost.

Forgeting we are but a large colony of ants in a universe much vaster then ourselves. And that we are at the mercy of that which we still do not understand.

And in our imagined role of playing God, we forget that one instant, one push of a wrong button.....and whoosh....we are gone...never again to be.
