a borboleta de asa quebrada

Sinais do Universo… sim, ele te envia muitos. Não sei por quanto tempo a asa amassada da borboleta a impediu de voar, mas ela estava lá, com as asas abertas. Frágil, talvez cansada, mas esperava pelo vento que a faria levantar vôo. É sobre paciência e coragem. Me reconheci.

From Inside The Bouncing Mind …
I find myself with an excess of angst these days … more than at any other time in my 70 years on this planet. Yes, much of it is centered around the infamy of Republicans in Congress, but I’m also finding that a relatively large portion of the average Joes in the nation are also angst-inducing. Some 65 million people are still unvaccinated! WHO gave them permission to endanger the lives of the rest of us??? I still think we should ship them all off to some island similar to a leper colony until they either die out or decide to do the right thing! Anyway, here are a few of the issues that are making my poor wee brain bounce around inside my head …

Just how lazy can people be? Now, admittedly, I have been taking advantage of the Kroger’s ‘click-list’ whereby I place an online grocery order, then just drive up at the appointed time and a Kroger employee brings my groceries out and loads them into my car. I started doing this in the early days of the pandemic and have continued due to both the pandemic and my own health problems. I don’t subscribe to their delivery service, in part because of the cost of about $20 per delivery, but there have been times in the past 4 months that it’s been tempting. Still … I would never … not in a million years … subscribe to the new service offered by Wal-Mart.
From an article in CNN Business …
“Walmart is expanding its push to deliver groceries straight into customers’ kitchen fridges, even when they aren’t home.

Subtle tension
There is a subtle tension between immediate reward and long term satisfaction. It’s up to us choose the best one for our growth.

Leader of Oath Keepers and 10 Other Individuals Indicted in Federal Court for Seditious Conspiracy and Other Offenses Related to U.S. Capitol Breach | OPA | Department of Justice
According to court documents, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, 56, of Granbury, Texas, who is the founder and leader of the Oath Keepers; and Edward Vallejo, 63, of Phoenix, Arizona, are being charged for the first time in connection with events leading up to and including Jan. 6. Rhodes was arrested this morning in Little Elm, Texas, and Vallejo was arrested this morning in Phoenix.
In addition to Rhodes and Vallejo, those named in the indictment include nine previously charged defendants: Thomas Caldwell, 67, of Berryville, Virginia; Joseph Hackett, 51, of Sarasota, Florida; Kenneth Harrelson, 41, of Titusville, Florida; Joshua James, 34, of Arab, Alabama; Kelly Meggs, 52, of Dunnellon, Florida; Roberto Minuta, 37, of Prosper, Texas; David Moerschel, 44, of Punta Gorda, Florida; Brian Ulrich, 44, of Guyton, Georgia and Jessica Watkins, 39, of Woodstock, Ohio. In addition to the earlier charges filed against them, they now face additional counts for seditious conspiracy and other offenses.
Eight other individuals affiliated with the Oath Keepers, all previously charged in the investigation, remain as defendants in two related cases. All defendants – except Rhodes and Vallejo – previously were charged in a superseding indictment. The superseding indictment has now effectively been split into three parts: the 11-defendant seditious conspiracy case, a seven-defendant original case, and a third case against one of the previously charged defendants.
In one of the related cases, the original superseding indictment, charges remain pending against James Beeks, 49, of Orlando, Florida; Donovan Crowl, 51, of Cable, Ohio; William Isaacs, 22, of Kissimmee, Florida; Connie Meggs, 60, of Dunnellon, Florida; Sandra Parker, 63, of Morrow, Ohio; Bernie Parker, 71, of Morrow, Ohio, and Laura Steele, 53, of Thomasville, North Carolina. The other case charges Jonathan Walden, 57, of Birmingham, Alabama.
The three indictments collectively charge all 19 defendants with corruptly obstructing an official proceeding. Eighteen of the 19 defendants – the exception is Walden – are charged with conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiring to prevent an officer of the United States from discharging a duty. Eleven of the 19 defendants are charged with seditious conspiracy. Some of the defendants are also facing other related charges.
Be Prepared
We can’t be in a reactive mode we have to always be prepared for the unexpected.
