Nice sentiment or actual fact?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Made a phone call yesterday to my friend and, rather than answering with “Hello.”, they said, “A Mighty Wind…“.
>>>This set all kinds of things swirling in my mind and heart:
***I’d just become aware of the big European wind storm with headlines like, “European storm leaves 47 people dead“, and:
***because of my previous post about the Doomsday Clock and its hands getting closer to midnight attributed, in part, to global warming, and
***news channels talking about the wind storm in the context of global warming, and
***politicians starting to dance around that Issue, and
***other news channels pointing to the storm of 1999 and claiming this storm had nothing to do with global warming, and
***a concurrent virus attack called Storm Worm that used the European storm to lure people into opening infected e-mails, and,
***finally (Whew!), remembering the 2003 movie, A Mighty Wind, which was funny and made all the other connections in this swirling mind/heart assume their proper perspective,
>>>I pondered the Butterfly Effect: small changes here making big changes there (usually refered to as Chaos Theory) and…
the whole swirling mass of thought and emotion made extremely clear the interconnection of weather, news, history, hackers, comedy, danger, social action, and the comments of friends…

We are all One…
Nice sentiment or actual fact?






Oneness of Humanity
Yesterday I posted about a good friend’s comment merging with current events and my past history and politics and a few other things…
Today that friend sent a link to their blog (image over there on the left) that had a link to a poem they’d written about Oneness, plus a link to my post of yesterday.
Right after I’d set myself up to write this post, I quickly checked my e-mail and found the prayer, We Are One, from BeliefNet.
As if that weren’t enough to weave the web of synchronicity ever tighter, right after I wrote about that BeliefNet prayer, I checked my e-mail again and found another post from the same friend saying they’d gotten a response to a Google alert which they really didn’t want; but, then, they said: “Weird, so I figure its “for” you?“
I hadn’t yet told them I was crafting a blog post around their blog post (about my previous blog post…) so the topic of the alert link was astonishing–the exact opposite of Our Human Oneness: Persecution !
Sometimes the rhythm of events seems to underlie the music of the Spheres…
