Going Greene?

Could this climate

change

be more strange

since

a faction is

going Greene?

That anti-

Epstein

lean

lead by

Marjorie Taylor

Greene,

the conspiracy

theory

machine

amplifier,

is taking

a higher

road

and putting

the load

on Trump.

The sport

of support

of a politician

becomes ammunition

in the next

election

round.

Support

is substantial

when it’s

financial;

it need not

mean

moral or

emotional

approval.

Still,

money spent

is acknowledgement

and a willingness

to abide

on the side

of what

money will

buy.

Just look

at the guy

who will try

to get

in bed

with any

(and every)

naughty

Saudi.

But back

to Marjorie,

who can

see

with

laser-like

efficiency

the value

of the spotlight.

She just might

be

the perfect

thorn

as she persists

her endless

scorn

with seeming

righteousness

against the hideousness

of the monstrousness

of sexual predatory

behavior.

Once her enabler,

he’d now like

to disable her,

but Marjorie

Taylor

sees GREEN.

If you feel torn

about watching

with popcorn

this ick-fest

contest,

I suggest

you just

let it

rest.

The best

you can do

is to

continue

or start

to be part

of real

greening

solutions.

All conclusions

point to

intrusions

of human greed

and the need

to live more

sustainably.

Understandably

daunting

with disaster

ever

haunting,

environmental

concern

should earn

more

of your

attention

and support.

This Giving

Tuesday

I hope you’ll

pay gratitude

and/or express

your attitude

of stewardship:

These are

some orgs

with which

I regularly

engage,

helping

to assuage

my rage

and fear

and to use

the tools

of democracy

for a more healthy,

greener

place

for humanity

to thrive.

Urgent Care

Crisis centers

focus

upon disaster

faster

than the usual

perusal

of a concerning

issue.

Discerning

misuse

or abuse

from the obtuse,

while trying

not

to confuse,

we use tools

of expedience

for the

triage experience;

a quick

fix,

if temporary.

Contrary

to ordinary

problems

of persistence,

when resistance

to change

allows for a range

of ways

to cope,

the end of

the rope

of crisis

invites us

to pivot;

to apply

a tourniquet

to stop

the flow.

The distinction

between

an emergency

and urgency

may be

unclear.

The fear,

however,

is whether

or not

we’ve got

enough

stuff

to manage

the damage.

Just how deadly

is this?

The persistent

quality

of urgency

insistently

demands

attention

for mitigation

of a critical

situation.

An emergency

emerges

more quickly

than urgency,

yet

both insistently

demand

intervention.

But convention

sometimes

clouds

the urge

to purge

the toxic

ways

that delays

imagined

discomfort.

With no

more room

for emergencies

or crises

imposed

upon us,

we retreat

in defeat

and claim

self preservation,

without realization

that earth’s

land, sea,

and air

can’t self

repair

without

urgent care.

Urge your legislators:

Home

Triage

No more

space

in the emergency

room

filled

with demanding

needs

commanding

immediate

attention.

Rarely a mention

of the ailing

failing,

yet still

magnificent

grande

dame,

mother

to all,

left

aside

hiding

in plain

sight,

frighteningly

sick

but still

looks good

until

she storms

away

flooding

us

with concern.

Whose

turn

is first

when systems

that nurture

require

sutures,

and fractures

compound

all around

us?

Stabbed

in the heart,

we realize

we must

prioritize

this immediate

wound

stat.

Inside

this ER

that we

now are,

we mostly

just take

in

information.

I see you

already

know

the urgency

each

emergency

requires.

But mired

in crisis

since

the time

of Isis

is narrowing

our arteries

and capacities

for healing.

We can’t

simply

be

angry,

fearful,

and depressed.

Nor

can we

ignore

what’s in store

with more

of the same.

Crises

of democracies

and the climate

across

the earth

are worth

your efforts

beyond

news intake.

What’s

at stake

demands

urgent

care-

a bit

here

and there

in addition

to the

momentous.

What

are you

doing—

not just

reviewing—

in order

to make us

better?

Do the Right Things

Now

a days,

the craze

on the right

is amazingly

cynical.

And yet

in spite

of spite

from the wing

on the right,

Speaker

Johnson

held tight.

An aid

bill

was passed

long past

due

due to

bogus

focus

on spending,

practically

upending

alliances

with defiance

and reliance

upon

noncompliance.

In an ecosystem

governed

by climate

change,

creating

crisis

after crisis

after

crisis,

invites

us

to assess

how we

address

this long

term

condition.

What

long

ago

was our

nature

has become

abused

when

government

was accused

of being

the problem.

Both right

and left

have

at times

been

reckless,

and feckless

leaders

or worse

have worsened

us.

But now

the right

can not

claim

righteousness

or

correctness

or validity,

much less

acceptability.

A country

of rights

abdicating

responsibilities

and civilities

creates

possibilities

for horrible

vulnerabilities

and instabilities.

Reclaim what

is right!

Our climate

crisis

requires

innovation

and

restoration

of what

is right

and wrong.

The warming

of the planet

is overwhelming

us

just as

the heated

rhetoric

in politics

is stifling

us.

Worse,

it is killing

us.

We know

what is

right,

but

complain

it became

too hard

to sustain.

Tomorrow

is Earth Day

and soon

Mother’s

Day,

sentiments

that deserve

acknowledgements

all year.

As

our democracy

needs us,

so does

Mother Nature.

The climate

crises

among us

and around

us

need us

to do

the right

things.

Mother

nature,

inside

and out.

I mean,

as a verb:

to curb

what

has been

unfathomably

disturbed.

Nature

needs

mothering;

nurturing

to thrive.

Our twin

climate

crises

demand

each

of us

to do

the right

things-

even when

difficult-

to nurture

what’s

left.
