France WE stand with thee!”
Greetings and salutations from the sand, sun and surf of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and the sun and cloud, cool and calmer island of Nantucket! Good to be with you and yours on this Sunday, early afternoon at the Hyannis/Hyannis Port Waterfront(s), this 15th day of November, 2015.
Of course, the whole of the World knows by now most of the grizzly facts surrounding the horrible, senseless insanity by the terror group known as ISIL; multiple attacks all over that City of Lights, now dimmed by the haunting image of an Eiffel Tower darked as in the days of WWII. The city shocked and rocked indeed by a cowardly, heinous act that killed over 129 people, injuring over 400–not to mention all those injured emotionally–in the busy streets of Paris the past Friday night.
There is little need to give any more press (or attention), to just a vicious and mindless example of what the worst of the human condition is capable of. France now seeing more of that EVIL than ever. And perhaps there should be more coverage of the recent Candle Light Vigil(s) going on about town where the victims fell– one thankfully shown on ABC recently–juxtaposed to all of that of the carnage on the streets…
It is all so easy, predictable and cliche to get the masses (via the corporate airwaves of nonsense and shiny objects), all revved up, red faced and hot headed; ‘fired up’ with all that false jingoism once again and ’send in more of them troops‘ (brought to you by what former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned US of, i.e, the “Military Industrial Complex”! Making money the old fashioned way for centuries now, mostly by blowing stuff up! Yep, that’s right folks, wars for profit and a course, ‘keeping America safe!), to ’solve the 1500 year old feud between ancient Sunni and Shiite religious/political problems we have no business solving in the first place; hello, McFly, is this thing on?’ Yeah, we could do that. Or, perhaps there should be a coalition of many countries around the globe as this has become a world issue, but none so much as the nations that this ISIL threatens right within their own back yard. Oh, and the fact the WORLD, like GLOBAL WARMING must ALL come to the same conclusion soon. Come together as a species or perish.
Water, food and the severe drought in the region was the main culprit for the original civil war in Syria over 4 years ago. Scarcity is a blunt term. in other words, the epic battle between those who have and those who have not. When people cannot eat, moreover feed their own flesh and blood, what does one think will happen?
Mass Hysteria!
There is a solution.
“Love”
“Love is real
Real is Love;
Love is feeling, feeling love…
Love is wanting…
wanting to be loved.
Love is touch
Touch is love.
Love is reaching, reaching love.
Love is asking; to be loved…
Love is you…, you and me;
Love is knowing we can be.
Love is free
Free is love.
Love is needing to be LOVED.”
~John Lennon
Viva La France!
PRESERVE THE WILDERNESS! Peace~M
