This is the fence between my backyard and the pasture. Perspective is everything. From my patio this fence looks straight and there are buildings, bushes, dead sunflowers and other objects just a few feet from it. In this photo it looks very serene and calm. A sturdy man made thing to delineate one side from another. The shade of the tree looks inviting. Its so sad that some of us have fences in our minds that keep us from understanding and accepting the other side of the fence.
Today is election day and I hope everyone votes. Those of you who truly know me will know how I vote, the others can guess, but I truly am an old peace loving socialist hippy. I imagine it will not be that hard to see that I love both sides of the fence. The chaotic living and the serene downtime. The selfish what about me and the what can I do for you. The hipster hoodies and the woolen sweater. The I need all my money and the can you use a dollar. The SUV and the Mini. The vodka and the tea. The list goes on and on.
This week is a work work work week. Its Tuesday and I'm already tired and my feet hurt. The darkness of the morning is not helping me to start early. Time change is this weekend which will help to get started but make it harder to keep going in the evening. A lot of electricity is going to be used. I believe in conservation but if my house is dark I'm going to bed. The lights need to be on before its dark for me to continue anything into the late evening (9:00). If I am going to be creative I am going to have to squeeze it into the day. Small bits of time just for me. I have some incredible opportunities in front of me.
