The Children of our World

With all of the horribleness of today's world especially in the middle east, I decided that something had to make me feel better and at the same time, help the children of our world. UNICEF has a program for just this effort that helps the children and me.

I have signed up for a monthly donation for the Children, and hopefully, this small amount will help a child in need. I can't imagine the lives of these small children and how different my girls lives were growing up in a safe home with food and the comforts of a California life style. My middle daughter told me a day ago, that the bombs that could have landed in Cuba were a concern, but that earthquakes were more frightening to think about.

So, dear readers this is one way to help our world. One child at a time, and hopefully the family as well. Even though I'm on a very limited income as a senior, I feel that it is the right thing to do.

 

M.C. Escher Concave and Convex

"The Stairs to Nowhere"

The absurdity of Bigness. The mantra that we hear from the Oval Occupant is that big, bigly, hugely, is where his mind must tortuously spend most of his waking time. Over and over, the mantra of big is the adjective of his communications to the American People.

He climbs these stairs of bigness and when he realizes that he has nowhere to go in his latest escapade, the sight of nowhere gives him panic as the realization that nowhere is a losing strategy. Thus, we have Iran. His nowhere steps for his ballroom* is not a tragic tactic in the design of anything, but when applied to international wartime policy, we have a potential war crime in the making.

I think of M.C. Escher, and his stairs to nowhere, the over and around the imaginary castles of Trump's mind. His mind will change the image or conversation of something not possible to a new something that will in his mind give a new bright shiny object for public consumption and will be a step up from the bigness of the current unsolvable problem. The Epstein Files are still there just like the floor of the Escher building, the stairs continue, but there is no way to solve the ending of the stairs to nowhere...

The Metaphor of a stairway for giving the Oval Occupant a way to change the conversation of a current problem of his own making to something bigger in importance cannot work, for his structure of holding up the stairway with sycophants who cannot and are not capable of running the agencies he has put them in charge, are not structurally sound.

Now that he has led our Nation up the stairs to War in the Middle East, he  declares that Religion will be the next step for our Country. He has said that “I an King”, and his big beautiful staircase is one of National Unity through Religion. 

Our problem is that the Oval Occupant could lead our Nation into oblivion when the stairs that he has constructed crumble into the abyss of War.
