Sunny for the moment. According to the weather report it will stay that way. I got out to water the plants and pull a poor pathetic Thai sweet basil that was past its prime. The space will be given to a mum in the next couple of weeks.
Yesterday I read a blog that has been fermenting in my mind. Sorry I can't remember which blog. It resonated because it was one of the very few which took issue with the notion of "fighting climate change" not because climate change is not real or a hoax or ephemeral and will pass. Rather the blogger took issue with the notion of fighting a concept, a "noun." We have done a lot of that in the past century or so. In that time we have fought communism, socialism, terrorism, "the woke," and climate change. We haven't really won any of those fights. This morning Joyce Vance notes that our current political morass is actually far more destructive than we might think because it is diverting our attention from crucial threats, like climate change. Though she does talk about fighting climate change it isn't as abstract as it sounds. We can't "fight" climate change but we can adapt. But to do that on a societal scale we need to focus on what is happening not on the antics of bunch of narcissistic politicians worshiping at the alter of The Former Guy or on a bunch of equally narcissistic very wealthy whose wealth may buy the the right to die last.
I like this post a lot. Indeed, dreams shouldn't wait. Deferring dreams is much like not using your "good" dishes, or "good" linens for every day but saving them for "special" occasions. They never get used because that occasion never comes.
