Still growing, ever changing In Vermont

I apologize for the long silences, the curse of a blog. As usual my Candide like life has had me buffetted by wave after wave of change and growth solicited or not. Life truly is that which happens why we are making plans which rarely if ever come to fruition in the forms they were conceived. Our ever changing world moving at a human pace and direction unparalled in our existence on this planet, so fast we cannot accurately judge the effects of the changes in time to discern wheter it was the good or right thing to do. And in this unnatural speed we sacrifice our thought processes, analytical skills, and in the end our compassion and empathy. That which makes us human in our daily interactions is slowly being erased as chalk from a board and the bits of writing, once coherent thoughts and ideas are now being reduced to the chalk dust of oblivion. As all of us, I sometimes feel lost and confused and alone and I think that this unfortunately is to be the new trend as we plow forward in this modern life. We are losing the ability to relate and deal with each other on a human level which is truly sad. It is snowing today which normally is not a rare thing in New England in the middle of winter with the exception that it has only snowed three times this winter this being the third in the beginning of February, 2016. The clean, pure snow blanketing and covering all the visible flaws of life and unifying plant and asphalt and building in the beauty only crystalized water can bestow. Would that likewise we could clean and unify all our social and economic differences and unite us humans in a way we are but deny daily. Why is it so difficult for us as a people, as a nation, as human beings to support and assist each other and to work for the greater good? It is this flaw which while universal amongst us has held us back and corrupted every philosophy, religion, political system no matter whow noble. How can someone who has the resources to provide assistance to another human being keep from doing so with no remorse or shame? How can they spout hate and attack anyone not like them when if they were only to look they would see that there really are no differences, just misunderstanding. I hope that a snow will fall which will blanket us in a love and understanding which will while as beautiful as crystalized water create a non meltable or malleable bond which will unite us in love and compassion. Love and compassion which is not conditional, for we are all the same.
