Hello, bloggers!!!!
I will be home this weekend as I still have no car. However, I am keeping the protesters in my heart.
My heart is troubled. A Senator was removed from a press conference. The Middle East is in even more turmoil.
The Second Coming, a poem by William Butler Yeats, comes to mind today.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Non-violent my ass. I am loaded for bear.
I am very tired of us lying down because it's somehow "better".
Fight fire with fire.
That is all.
