Like you, I hope we can learn from this period of history -- to slow down, to re-order our priorities, to care for one another each and every day. <br /><br />Haven't seen you for a long time, but I sought you out today and am glad I did. <br /><br />Love from the "other Pamela"P.

Gaia is stirring and she will protect herself if we continue not to listen. In the meantime, like you, I fear for those small restaurants, gites, plant nurseries that I love. And I am deeply grateful for where we live in the depth of rural France with two dogs, where we have space, useful work (gardening), fresh air to breathe and beautiful views to nourish the soul.

As I am much older than you and much older, I think, than those others who post here, I am of the mind that this actually is the third reckoning for us in this country. IMO, the first was in November of 1963. The second on a September day nearly two decades ago. We are now in a reckoning that cannot be resolved by bailing out the wealthy (whether corporations or humans) and leaving the rest to die horrific deaths in this country of wealthy-always-first healthcare. And yes as do many others I've spoken "remotely" to, in the darkest recesses of my spirit I have reluctantly come to believe this: as a country and as a world, we deserved this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-29427655765989890272020-03-20T17:02:02.674-04:002020-03-20T17:02:02.674-04:00Thank you so very much for these beautiful words...Thank you so very much for these beautiful words. xoannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361626368729886859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-85437174794691328662020-03-20T03:24:58.696-04:002020-03-20T03:24:58.696-04:00I live in Western Australia where we have lots and...I live in Western Australia where we have lots and lots of black swans - but not a single white one!

You have a way of getting to the essence of a topic. I don't know if you remember after the 2016 election I emailed you that, although the country may suffer (and suffer it has due to our "leadership"), the American people and now the global community has a way of rising above the fray. We make phone calls and casseroles and find ways of circumventing obstacles. We will do it again. However, the pandemic may take us a little longer to overcome...We have become accustomed to instant results; getting what we want when we want and being so very mobile. Funny how the world, Mother Nature, spirits like to remind us that we are not as in control as we think we are!Carol in VThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696811776434536623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917331337767835985.post-52368449506410182452020-03-19T16:59:47.357-04:002020-03-19T16:59:47.357-04:00Beautiful post Pamela and so lovely to hear from y...Beautiful post Pamela and so lovely to hear from you again.
