Emptiness
So, I feel empty. Lost and abandoned. I could petition them, make them hear me, become an issue that just *has* to be dealt with. But if I do that, even though I will be tied to the rock I should be on, I feel I will be resented for it.
There is a light, far away. A strong light, appealing, something to look at, away from the dark lonely sea. Maybe in that part of the as yet unexplored sea, I will find an even better rock to be on. Maybe. The light is good, but what if it misleads me, and takes me even further away from the rock that I should be on now? I am tempted all the same. I will find something there, but will it be enough. If it is not, it may not be possible to come back.
There is nothing more that I should be doing other than being on that rock. Until I get there, I will always feel empty.

Bad Weather
However, once you are past the prettiness of first snow, comes the tiresome effects. Disruption on a fragile transport system, as roads become unusable, buses are sidelined, trains are re-scheduled or cancelled. As roads are cleared, pathways remain treacherous, with little attention given, they remain covered in ice for many more days. Fresh snowfall compounds the problem, just covering the ice beneath. People complain, it is too cold, too dangerous, too inconvenient. The weather becomes an excuse for not attempting to go to work, leaving those who make the effort to pick up the slack.
I want hot weather back. I'd rather here about people complaining because it is too hot than because it is too cold.

Kindness
To the bringer of kindness to me today, I am extremely grateful.
Thank you.
Quiet Time
Got to keep going on, it's the only way.

He Huffed, and He Puffed
Not today, anyway. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
The Wolves are at the Door
It's a bleak situation, where every day I sit and wonder "Is today the wolves come to the door?" I can hear them circling around, waiting for their opportunity to attack, the pack mentality at work. In the middle of the circling beast, I sit and wait for the sign of attack, hoping I will be ready to defend myself. My armour is on, but will it be enough? Sometimes I think retreat will be the better option. Go underground, into hiding, but who wants to hide for ever? I'd rather fight, but I'm out-numbered, how can I win?
Right now, I'd take a draw. Winning is highly unlikely. I don't want to take any extreme measures, but as a tactic they are available. But is the short term gain for the long term pain really worth it?

The Next Step
is collapsing, the cracks are being covered by the corrupt people who
run the corrupt system. Meanwhile real people living real lives in the
real world are suffering. If you have a job, you remain among the
fortunate, but for how long? If you do not have a job, the prospects
of finding employment are bleak. Companies are cutting back, not
expanding.
So, what is the next step for a global financial crisis? I think we
are going to start to hear calls for a global banking authority. And,
with this will come a call for a global currency. Those who resist
will be branded as enemies, against the salvation of capitalism.
It seems to be the next logical step.

Autumn
Autumn has truly arrived. Leaves on the ground, strong winds, driving rain, grey skies. Autumn is my favourite season, evenings getting darker, temperature dropping, a period of transition as we lead into winter.

Why Do I Care?
Why do I care? There are those who are walking the path to damnation, breaking every law that matters. Adultery is turned into a form of entertainment on TV and in film, self is taught as the highest importance over others, respect is expected by all but given by few, ignorance is rife, and lies are promoted as truth.
Take time to watch the world as it passes by. People are walking over the edge into oblivion ever minute, but no one does anything, to stop themselves or others. No one cares.
So, why do I care?
