Olympia Middle America, a refuge for a shattered soul, a safe cocoon for us wrapped in freedom quietly going through life’s daily chores, work.  As I walk to the bus this morning I can hear the rumbles of War. The base 5-8 miles away they are playing/practicing War. It scares me! Then I think 5-8 miles away practice. But  in the Mideast my walk would be consumed by fear 5-8 miles could be my home soon. To live with that reality!

But they are Bombing today.

Today I am safe practice doesn’t affect me . We the people ignore, shut out, forget. But they are bombing today.

My journal more a diary of late keeping track. No essays, poetry, politics. But they are bombing today.

Like the rest of the people politics opinions hidden except for a “like or Share” on Face Book. Petitions, polls, surveys briefly comment 140 characters or less. Then on to a joke. Hiding from reality. What would Tom Paine Do?

    Hi Peter,

    I enjoyed chatting at Burial Grounds this afternoon. I chose to comment on this post because I appreciate both the image of the toys in the yard and the piece of text about ‘But they are Bombing today’.

    Hope to catch you around town in the near future. Be well.
