Physical, Mental, Social, Religious, and Political Aspects of Life
It seems in life, and even the Universe, that everything seems to happen in waves or cycles. We measure things, usually with things called polar opposites, and note how the value changes between the two poles over time, for example: summer to winter then back to summer over and over. Sometimes the cycle is only observed once, for example: baby, to reproductive adult, to senior citizen. We even use this terminology in events that don't normally have a physical component, for example: the swinging of the political pendulum from Left to Right or Conservative to Liberal, or whatever. It can greatly affect us emotionally like listening to something with a somber or slow tone vs. a lively, upbeat tempo. Of course, we see this all the time in Nature, physics is full of it: light and sound waves, orbits, pulsars, tides, gravity waves, birth/death/rebirth of stars and galaxies measured on a back-and-forth scale that can be measured in gigahertz per second up to billions of years. We sometimes take waves/cycles for granted or even sub-consciously (like seasons), but other times we don't really recognize it in our lives and we are too short-sighted to see them like fortune or luck or karma (all these measured in good/bad). I like to say that life is dealing with ocean waves: when you are in a lull, tread water; but when you get to the top of the wave, swim like mad!

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
