Topics of such strong domination of senses. Politics. Economics. Health. Sex. Power. Weakness. Geo news. An endless list of topics which the person reading, listening, debating, feeling about; this they allow, and now…

Ask old people about how they view social media and the deluge of instant information. Most will laugh and shake their head. Ask young people and you might get fucked, shot, laughed at, agreed with, or some really strange yet strong domination of their views on whatever it’s their flavor-of-the-second…

Ask me about the current self-woke, herd mentality of a species feeling ‘connected’. In some ways, it is good… and, it is bad…

Knowledge is useful and needed. Understanding knowledge gained, especially through experience is very useful and needed. Trying to understand knowledge without experience or meaningful perspective is bad in the least and dangerous at the most.

Feel It

The window on the truck is open, smoke laden air from fires burning near and afar teasing the senses.

Hand out, and flying the road

There, a family of quail, a family of chukar, a herd of dear

Dust and smoke

Ash

Warm air

A day of work done with perspiration drying

Bit of pay in the pocket

Dinner is waiting, and dogs. Oh yes, the dogs are a joy as too the joy of taking off the boots, washing the hands, eating some tiny tomatoes, hearing about her day

And now it is over, this day is recorded, logged, and put away.

Sleep now awaits, but first a shower with hot steamy water, brushing the teeth, taking a shit

and feeling the joy of Dreams.
