April 1st, 2021
Spring is here, though it seems as though, it keeps changing its mind from day to day. Spring should be joyful, baby horses....this is a horse farm and one mare was bagged and ready to go. Sad to say it was twins and after every mishap that could prevail, both babies died. The lesson to me and all of us is to have our mares ultrasound done early on. I have seen pictures posted on Face Book of twins that, at least, survived long enough for pictures but it is a rarity and should not be considered to be without serious complications. No matter how many years have passed since I made my way into this world I continue to learn hard lessons.
On the subject of lessons, I have so much appreciation for what David did around the farm and am embarrassed to admit were many times I failed to, not only acknowledge, but even notice. So much for a division of labor! He was the energy that drove our steam engine for sure. And in doing so he was also the one who wove adventure into our days. Not always agreeing we were often thought of as " Frick 'n Frack. Just ask friends Tom and Pat with whom we shared breakfast after Sunday morning Mass if you doubt any of this. So I ask, what would life be like without adventure? This past year has been so challenging for so many, riding on the winds of fear from my perspective. Fear sells shredders, insurance, justifies savings accounts, as well as psychologically paving the way to hoarding, just to mention a few. Most of this makes sense to us in one way or another and we accept the need for insurance as everyday. As a business we know how important it is to keep our records secure and out of the hands of criminals. When our government begins to control too many aspects of our lives, we begin to fear the very people elected to protect our rights. Fear is very powerful as we have seen with the CCP virus also known as Covid. Fear of dying, fear of catching it, fear of our neighbors, fear of touching .....fear fear fear. Many are critical of those who will not wear a mask or submit to an unproven vaccine. Driven by fear they become paranoid of everyone and everything. We have witnessed mass gatherings to protest, cross our borders, and just to celebrate spring break. Yes, no doubt the virus is real and can do serious harm to those lacking a healthy immune system. It still amazes me the challenges the big pharma and those in a position to profit from a virus scare are capable of generating as we observed it became political on the big stage. And as I stated earlier, fear sells. What happened to the adventure still waiting for us to begin, making the most of this brief life we have been gifted? It is brief. Learn to let go and let God is the motto of those who go fearlessly through life hand in hand with God. Oh, you may think you are fearless, but if in the dark of the night one would be able to humble themselves, truly humble themselves, one might understand how alone we truly are without God. David and I prayed for peace and the world knowing we would be here for a short time....certainly not forever and seriously, who would want to be. Bad news sells ..and the only reason I can think of is Satan has become techno smart and has found a way to scare us big time. Now is the time to say NO to this dark spirit and get on with a life of gratitude and thanksgiving. It is and has always been a choice. OUR CHOICE.
