A ginger storm is rising in the house
stalking the air
chasing a pretend mouse
A ginger storm is in the room
with thundering paws
and a flash of zoom
A ginger storm has settled on the floor
soon his purr
becomes a snore
Dreams, news, weather, cats, etc.
Disparate elements of thoughts combine.
New elements form.
Fresh streams of thoughts begin.
With it arrives memories and hopes.
Pieces of song.
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
Well, I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playin’ a piano
And what it all comes down to my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
‘Cause I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailin’ a taxi cab

My dreams remain plentiful and involved. Sometimes, it feels like my brain is switching channels between realities as I sleep.
In this segment, I’d arrived to conduct an inspection. Three gentlemen in sites, all white, but of different ages, met me.
They knew why I was there. The oldest, with receding, thick white hair said, “We’ve been expecting you.”
“Do you have what I want?” I asked.
“Yes, but we must find it.” He nodded to the youngest man. “Go tell the others he’s arrived.” After going up white steps, the young man entered a tall, narrow building.
We followed him. The oldest man said, “It’s in one of the safes. We don’t know which one.”
We were walking down a narrow hall. I asked, “How many are there?”
“Twenty-three.”
I’d not expected so many safes. The oldest man nodded at the other. “Open number six.”
The other turned and opened a door, revealing a silver vault door within with a silver combination dial in the center. Stepping forward, the man put his hand on the dial.
The dream ended.
“You’ve yet to have your finest hour.”
I was rallying myself to get out of bed when the quote was remembered.
It’s a good quote Churchill, the second World War. (Has war stopped since then?) Queen put it into their 1984 song, “Radio Ga Ga”. After I applied it to myself (and wondering if it’s true), I applied it to humanity.
We — humanity — have been changing the world and our societies. Now the world is biting back, or so it feels. It feels like that because it’s us, and our moment. Review some history, and you’ll see that nature bites back pretty damn regularly.
So here we go with the theme music. Enjoy yourself, if you can, wherever you are, and wear your mask, please.
