here's 'a real dream' from the other night. i was in the front yard of a small 2 bedroom house in Smithfield Heights, behind a white wall and orange gate. God was a bird, a white dove, with a hawk's head, and an open mind...and it flew from the sea and landed on the white wall, so I invited the god-bird in to the yard and pointed out the water fountain, the small pool, and the motorbike. Then the god-bird jumped down and stood on my dog Phil's head, and Phil didn't mind, then the god bird played with Inky, the kitten's tail, and Inky didn't mind, then the god bird flew up on my shoulder, and we went inside and I pointed out the various floors...polished sandstone, and the white shutters and the kitchen, and we did a tour of the small house. Then I opened the back Japanese screen door and the god-bird, after having a few sips of water from a saucer, flew out and up and over Saddle Mountain. Such a lovely dream.
Our sun, Sol, from which comes all light and life in our part of the Galaxy. I quite understand why the Ancient Egyptians had their Sun God. It is realistic. Eventually, in hundreds of millions of years, the sun turns supernova red and swollen and we all return to it, or rather it comes to us. Simple, true. A fine respectable and beautiful faith indeed. A faith in light and life.
News from USA, most American Chinese are voting in bloc for Trump...buss-ing folk to voting booths. Everyone forgot about the Chinese! The preference relates to conservative values within US Chinese communities in relation to education, economics and socio-ethical collective values. Very organised voting group, nation wide in US. It is a Big organised silent social Push when no one is looking. Very American-Chinese.
