Summertime

During summertime, I am able to jump off the fast-moving train that I call my life, barrel roll and relax.

It is a time to breathe deeply, walk in slow motion and recharge.

 It is a time to notice the flowers growing in the garden, the birds and squirrels playing in the street, and the stars glowing in darkened sky.

It is a time to let my imagination climb into the clouds and reach out to find a hidden treasure.

It is a time to capture my thoughts in writing and spend time chatting with friends.

I do enjoy the summertime.

Hail to the Clowns!

Political campaigning is really turning into a circus.

You have your illusionist trying to keep your focus on everything except what he is truly about. 

 There is dog and pony show from "groups" supporting a candidate and their only goal is to make the opponent look bad without dragging their candidate in to show. 

 There are clowns that try to make bad situations look good by masking them with laughter.  

There are dancing bears who move rhythmically,  spinning around the dance floor until your feel as though you are  spinning with them in a discombobulated trance and the high-flyers who make everything look one way but they hide the truth behind the trick.  

After watching the show, I feel pretty entertained but who wants a bunch of circus performers calling the shots in the government?
