They’re Bombing Today

Olympia Peace Tranquility, Beauty

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?

A day of creativity, good food, history in a very visual town. On the way back to Olympia plans were made for the next trip. I always like day trips, any trips. Especially to off the beaten track places, real people, history. Visual Stories created and told
