Twisting in the Wind…

Posted byThe DogwalkerPosted inUncategorized

How is everyone doing in this strange reality? Are you a Democrat, believing the pandemic is worse than a collapsed economy? Are you a Republican, concerned that a collapsed economy is worse than the pandemic? Are you a Christian, finding comfort in a moral guidepost and a loving God? In spite of the ‘problematic’ moments throughout Christian history, do you have a sense of order that guides you toward achieving your goals? Are you an Atheist, finding comfort in reason, even though you’ve got the crushing burden, and privilege, of moral relativity? As an Atheist, do you fight the challenges of indecision, since your values and sense of priorities are being invented from within?

I am curious to hear about other people’s lives in this regard… I turned 52 this year, and after the quarantine, I have found that loneliness and isolation in my own life is causing me to reevaluate my values. Historically I’ve been attached to agnosticism and liberalism, but now I’m wondering if too much freedom of thought (for lack of a better phraseology) has somehow undermined my ability to achieve my goals toward reaching my full potential… so hungry to hear about other people’s experiences in this regard…

It was the spring of '68 when I was born. There were visible stars in the sky that night, or so I'm told... Some days, I ride my bicycle to the farmer's market, hang my clothes to dry, and sketch or play my guitar into the evening... Other days, I stay indoors, drink too much coffee, eat canned soup, and critique endless reruns of "Law and Order." (It's fun to wonder how all the suspects have such perfect memories as to their whereabouts, or why the longshoreman isn't curious enough to get out of the forklift when confronted by homicide detectives). Do you have friends? (I have come to be leery of dating anyone who has no friends. These people always seem to have some far-fetched conspiracy theory or weird aversion to sunlight...) Bonus points to those who... appreciate a good pun or will give a gratuitous chuckle:) can find humor in not only the absurd, but esp in the mundane :)

  1. Thank you, Lisa, for asking such poignant questions. Reading your philosophical tenets has stopped my light of disbelief in the human spirit from flickering; your beautiful spirit shines through, Lisa. As our country is undergoing this intellectual and moral paradigm shift in global conciousness. I realize it’s people like you who question their own realities and belief systems… yes, those who dare to challenge the past and want better. This is the new world order of all people of different countries and races coming together and righting the wrongs of the past. I have total faith in the new generation of the young people world wide to problem solve climate change, overpopulation, pollution of the ecosystem. Thanks, Lisa
