‘Captive Audience’
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the rainy, cool, soon to be clearing island of Nantucket! Great to be with you and yours on a soggy Friday here at the Hyannis/Hyannis Port Waterfront(s)–this 10th day of July, 2015–although this wet weather will be pushing to our East within the next few hours, with a beautiful week end expected for all the wonderful people visiting from Beijing to Brussels, San Francisco to Saigon. I hope y’all have a “wicked” good time! This is a once in a life time kind of place…
Catch the Magic!
As it appears out of my decks’ eye looking out at said fellow human beings in the mist, sometimes it seems most miss what is real; momentous experiences evolving right in front of their eyes. Give them your full attention! Not to the illusions horribly emanating constantly on a 3X5 inch screen that literally hold it’s “owners” captive seemingly every waking hour of their long, long day…
Would it not be refreshing to actually unplug that ’smart’ phone? A device that 9 out of 10 doctors believe has truly become smarter than you, and has commanded your complete and undivided attention, affection, obsession and dare I say love. For in that unconscious captivity underlies a real life hostage situation if you think about it for a moment.
Throw off the chains and if only for that moment look around at the Cardinal, the Great Blue Heron, the Snowy Egret, the Peregrine Falcon, the Red Tail Hawk, the Golden Eagle, the Osprey, the Golden Finch, the Baltimore Oriole, the Piping Plover, the Terns, right and left, the many, many Gulls species; heck even the secretive and mysterious Red Fox, the independent Coyote, the humble and graceful white tail dear beckon and hold some lesson there… Even the majestic Great Humpback, the Harbor seal, the graceful dolphin, courageous porpoise, and all the fish in the big, blue, mighty sea bring one back to “…whence we all came.” JFK
Just a thought before all of that vanishes from the face of the EARTH: if we don’t wake up soon…
Brought to you by multinational corporations everywhere!
Have a great week end folks and be safe out there “…amongst the English!” (credit the Harrison Ford in the classic 1985 film, “Witness”, also starring Kelly McGillis).
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
