The possibilities are endless is often said or heard
But are they really? I beg to differ with that word.
Is it possible to dream or wish, have that plea come true?
Or is it simply “universe” controlled and all up to you?

We’re just under the surface, ready to emerge
From the Whitehouse aberration who is on the verge
He’ll provoke and prod his followers to raise a fuss
We will rise up from the deep to fresh and new that welcomes us.

There is no specific theme, but I loved this word from your post:
Today’s world may not be so unusual as it seems the past repeats
In all locations everyone always tries to land on their feet
If the day seems too tragic or circumstances are not your dreams
You can choose to be a nefelibata, and live beyond your means
To tread among the clouds, above the fray,
And see beyond the problems of your day
To be a dreamer is to some a folly true
But come along with me, to chase away the blue.

Just like the ocean
Life will ebb and flow always
We can only drift
Reading a blog from a talented comic
Sipping coffee as the wind howls
Crunching a piece of dark chocolate almond bark
Watching videos of grandchildren playing basketball
Hugging old Brownie, a teddybear
Scooping up soft covers around my neck
Laughing at YouTube’s Trevor Noah
Lighting a pumpkin marshmallow vanilla candle
Listening to my family’s voices
“Snowden” on Netflix is very entertaining, eye opening and even scary.

My heart listens softly, watching your face
The infinite smile
As we embrace
I relish as you print
Upon me your lover’s tattoo
A heartfelt mark you leave, traced on my skin
Never a slit in the embroidered lace design
But a still constant reminder of our affection.

I admit it, a few times I thought, “is this some plot of the universe to make me think of every mistake or wrong thing I’ve done in my life? I grew up with strict parents and there was always some thing or someone to blame if something was wrong, and punishment.
I’m certainly no paradigm of virtue, which is a phrase used by some for people like. . .well I don’t know, maybe Mother Theresa? What is virtue anyway? Can any human being live up to the word virtue and lead an ordinary life? These are questions for people like me who love the human race and constantly wonder why people do what they do. I know. . .weird.
Days when I struggle to get on or off my bed because my mobility sucks, I think of all the years I exercised, ate healthy and tried my best not to end up with my mom’s heart problems. My heart is in great shape, btw. And then I do blame something, curse them, and it’s the surgeon who failed me by saying he could fix my back, no problem. With two surgeries in a month’s time because he failed the first one, then also screwed up the second, I’m now in a wheelchair. I have days when the air is blue because I just spent five minutes trying to pick up something off the floor I dropped.
But I also have days like today, when a grandchild’s good morning snapchat makes me smile and feel loved unconditionally, or someone’s blog makes me laugh or I look out and see a beautiful sunset. We all have these minutes, hours and days, but it’s trying to keep focusing on the positive that helps. Instead of thinking there’s someone or some thing to blame, I need to be thankful for what IS.

NPR: Washington DC protest groups, including Proud Boys, and Women for America First. It’s disgusting they used the BLM motto with Million MAGA March for their demonstrations.

Anyone who supports a president who riles up and cheers on these groups has clearly lost their mind.
