The chainsaw in the background sets the tone for troubled times. Branches come down, symbolizing the amputation of society, piece by piece, in the era of Covid, fires, and other impacting events.
We are in the era of Inquisition II, where science naysayers use mass media, filling acolytes’ minds with toxic catechism.

For those of us visually disabled, we are greatly encouraged by the great strides reflected in research. Here’s the latest from Nanoscope Therapeutics…
Dear readers, you may find the following videos of interest.
Fires burning over Vilia (62 km due west), located near the ancient port of a Aigosthena (Porto Germeno). Helicopters seen in our area, carrying tons of sea water put out fires. Color of setting sun: red.
Time passes, but memories remain.
Two weeks ago, our family was in Rovies, Evia, when the catastrophic fire in Evia started. I sit, reflecting on what could have been, and what came to be. There are always the “whys” and “because” following events of disastrous proportion. Let it suffice to say that many people in Evia and elsewhere performed philanthropic and ecological deeds that took extraordinary courage and effort. On the other hand, the mechanisms of mass media frequently portrayed the inferno with “climate change” and “evacuation,” without commenting on the “why” and absence of adequate resources.
Certain government figures have stated that Greece is headed towards a carbon-free environment. I invite my readers to visit Rafina during the summer, when the ships release sulfur dioxide into the air at random, even though the European Union and the International Maritime Organization have passed regulations proscribing that form of pollution. Carbon-free?
Who will, how will the ecological balance be restored? Untold casualties of biological agriculture, beekeeping, oxygen generated by pristine deciduous and coniferous forests… Most importantly, how do displaced people restart their lives? The mental and physical casualties will predominate for years…
PENCILED THOUGHTS– ERASED?

I sit, reflect on frames of life
pausing, as if each an 8 mm vignetteStanding with friends, supporting
We continue in journey of seen (and unforeseen) destinationsMore paying fare to Charon
shortened years of earthly existence;
How many similar stories,
where trajectories end abruptly?Incline of hope
slope of one plus
Where field of vision is on par with negative
Science, fervently working on reversing pattern
Brethren, there is light
at a speed not fast enoughWe await as Stoics
We expect as OptimistsBlessings to all
