The Summer of Fire & Fury

Canadians have declared this the summer of fire on account of the most smoke ever recorded, and which was released by what is so far the second worst wildfire season. This wildfire season is also still far from over.

America's so-called president Trump has threatened North Korea with "fire and fury," then threatened military intervention in Venezuela.

The following weekend the largest white supremacist gathering in decades converged on Charlottesville, VA with Trump stating there are good people who are part of the ethnic cleansing movement.

Today another terrorist attack occurred in Barcelona, Spain; a car striking a crowd of pedestrians, just as one did in Charlottesville and London and ...

Every day the news has another awful horror to disseminate, chipping away at the spirit of the masses. I've been feeling a profoundly heavy sense, a global sadness.

This week millions of Americans will witness our moon blotting out our sun. Hasn't the sun already been blotted out for long enough?

As we've all witnessed, darkness comes in many forms. Superiority. Narcissism. Greed. Inequality. Hate. Racism. Violence. These man made forms of darkness all stem from a common place; delusion.

I am encouraged in some way by those who are still able to go about their daily lives without a heavy heart and as though it's business as usual. Let us please not delude ourselves. The state of our union is anything but business as usual; we're in crisis. Foremost, the President of the United States of America is a threat to all Americans, our Constitution and the world at large.

Let me be clear. Nazis, the KKK, White Nationalists and the Alt-Right suffer from mental illness. While these people may be American citizens, what they stand for comes from the deepest, darkest, soulless abyss of human excrement. This vile repugnance known as hatred must be eradicated. So long as Trump remains in office, the country's hemorrhaging of hate and divisiveness will continue inundating our country's soul with evil.

Previously we all lived in a paradigm of right versus wrong. We now live in a new paradigm of good versus evil. These two paradigms may have similarities, they are not one in the same. Though it was long ago, we have been here before. Our bloody Civil War. World War II. These conflicts are etched in our DNA. We know the face of evil, and we will overcome it once more. The brightness of the human spirit will always outshine its darkest malevolence. For a second there I thought that word bore a striking resemblance to male violence.

History has but one law: progress, despite back-stepping. Think bigger than our views of today's reality. Imagine what is possible in the years, decades and centuries ahead. All that you imagine and envision what the future holds begins with your thoughts calling it into being. Whatever you can conjure in your wildest dreams you can materialize in a future reality. What do you envision, and what are you willing to do to bring it to fruition?

We can all live as one in peace and harmony. Our world has enough for everyone.

Resist evil. Love and heal.
