Independence Day
I don't even know what the word "independence" means. I am, in reality, independent of nothing and no one.
This holiday, the 4th of July, like so many others, doesn't appeal to me. Blowing shit up, and paying a bunch of money to do it. Listening to other people lighting off Jerry-rigged bombs all day and all night. Good stuff. Probably great for the environment.
Other holidays:
My birthday: don't care.
Other people's birthdays: see above.
Christmas: Christians stealing pagan rituals and pretending a star was born.
Easter: Pretending the star rose from the dead.
Halloween: Pretty cool, but also a chore, with children.
St. Patrick's Day: Fuck pseudo-Irish people and drunken idiots.
Labor Day: I'm on board.
Veteran's Day: On Board.
Mother's/Father's Day: Shouldn't have to be a holiday to love your parents.
Thanksgiving: Celebration of destroying a culture, with gluttony.
New Years Eve: Yep. Have to buy another calendar. Cool.
(Just another positive PSA for no one. You're welcome.)

Paying Attention
Socio-economic strife.
Immigration.
Education.
Health (both mental and physical).
(This shit is everywhere, all the time.)
Interpersonal relationships.
Global Warming.
Addiction.
Dependence.
(But ...)
Sometimes, you just have to look over, and there's a butterfly, resting on a flower. THAT is the moment to give your full attention. Especially, when I am in crisis, I need to appreciate the pastoral in life. Simple things are so comforting. The story of a butterfly is anything but simple, but it's still beautiful.
Breathe in moments.
