Done and no pics to show šŸ˜‚ I swear I did finish like 90% of my list from before. The dino turned out so stinking cute. Iā€™m bummed I didnā€™t get a pic.

Oh but I did get a pic of this;

Hah. This is Mav. Heā€™s a Satin Angora. As if Angora wasnt fancy and soft enough, satins have a shiny sheen to their wool.
He was free to a good home and I obviously did not say no. I drive like 3 hours to get him last week and Iā€™m not sorry.
Heā€™s just a lovely little bunny. So soft and friendly. Heā€™s got some matting from lack of grooming at his previous home but I think I can get a handle on it. Iā€™ve taken him out every day to work on it a little at a time. Heā€™s very sweet and affectionate, runs over when he sees me coming. Just so endearing since my meat rabbits couldnā€™t give 2 farts in a wind storm.

Sheesh I havenā€™t written in a while and that always throws me bc I have no idea what the last thing was.

On my mind lately. The increasing disparity between the haves and the have-nots.
And I donā€™t mean money or material things.
Mostly I think I mean virtue.
What is happening to the world but a crucible which only reveals the utter corruption, or relative integrity, of each soul? And, as even God knows and tells us repeatedly; each of us is a shadow of God the great I Am. Each of us is the cause of our lives. I am because me. I am not the result of anything else or anyone elseā€™s choice. I am not a mere determined or predictable outcome. I have no cause except for me. Nothing in my past explains my life. Nothing about what happened to me is a reason for my choices.
And I compare this idea to the mindset of those around. Who else has this level of clarity in self ownership? In foundational responsibility? I see only a scant handful. And millions of the opposite.

No I donā€™t imagine that they will be influenced by honesty or moral arguments. It is too late in the game for even a large majority to change the outcome. This is, though, a fairly easy and quick test to sort people by. Which is absolutely critical in the coming months and years.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell people think is going to happen. Yesterday a friend was talking about her younger sister going to college. What for? I asked. What I meant was, what possible future do you see where college is going to be a remotely wise investment. She didnā€™t get it though. I can only chock it to the normalcy bias. Like, hey look at this bridge-! Itā€™s rated for 250k lbs and there is 500k lbs on it. ā€œOh, yes that bridge will definitely break.ā€ Say the people who live under that bridge and never move a muscle.
I resist the urge to panic for them. Since me feeling their own panic which they refuse to acknowledge just legitimizes their choice to let it remain unacknowledged. I just point it out. See what they say. Move on.

It does really bother me, though.
