Dancing with the Stars

The earthquake off the Japan coast was so strong that the Earth lost 2 seconds that day. You can go somewhere else to read the science of how this occurred, but know that the planet spins on its axis at a certain speed and angle to create what we call 24 hour days.

The sun and the moon are instrumental in influencing our reality, bringing us daybreak, tides, etc. while the spinning and orbit of Earth formulate our concepts of time, calendar, etc. It brings new meaning to Dancing with the Stars when you realize how fragile our existence is and how the forces on/of celestial bodies are toying with us. At any moment this planet can go completely upside down. And if you know the history of predictions for this time and space, we are up against huge changes. Star light star bright ..... are you the last star I'll see?

Cathy came into the store the other day and reminded me that many want to call what is ahead "a shift in consciousness".  Oh Yeh Baby, when we get another jolt or two like the one we had the other day, the survivors of the BIG ONE will be forced to shift their consciousness to survive.

Kristina informed me that our milk is already showing signs of radiation and she is worried about her kids intake of fluids and foods over the next few years. The nuclear meltdown is a reality and even if they contain it at some point the damage that has already occurred will be talked about for a decade. (Just to go on record, I don't think we have more than a year or two before what we consider normal will no longer exist.)

Truth be told, no amount of preparedness is going to help. We have no way of getting our heads around what is ahead. We can't fathom what has happened in Japan, or Haiti, and when I went to Pompeii in the 1980's it was impossible to comprehend what happened at the foot of that mountain. So what is a person to do? What should we focus on? How should we spend our remaining days, weeks, months?

Don't have a clue. I just walk around in a detached daze most of the time, being real in the moment with situations that present themselves, knowing that if I am still breathing when the smoke clears, I can't wait to be one of the Survivors.
