Time

It's two-thirty in the morning, what are you doing up?

I'm being alive. Life is short, and we haven't much Time, and at ninety that's for sure, that's for dang sure, so I'm experiencing life. 

I've already been outside on the porch to watch two people with bright lights, walking along the edge of the water, probably fishing, looking for flounder. 

Sitting here now with my back to my window on the Bay, I've been checking the Iran War news. Oddly forgetting Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, Americans think America can't lose a war, so I'm watching to see if it happens again this Time, if we leave a chaotic debacle of people hating us. "The end justifies the means" - - not so far in our recent history. 

And, a father of beloved daughters, I'm sick at stomach and heart about our bombing an Iranian girls' elementary school and killing dozens, scores, more than a hundred children, little girls, peoples' daughters. I'm wondering and fearing what else we will do over there.

What's the matter with humans? Still evolving, hopefully toward the image of God in which we were created, we are still pre-Fall ignorant, amoral, conscienceless, crocodilian egocentrics. From EOW: Forgive the evil we do and the evil done on our behalf. Forgiveness wears thin if we never learn.

Where have all the flowers gone? When will we ever learn?

When will we ever learn?

\Where's the national outrage that was so overwhelming and effective in the 1960s and 70s? That also was a divisive Time.

+++++++++

Time - - why do I always capitalize Time? because it's all we have.

Time - - for a magic mug of hot & black.
