My conscious day began with a scary sound. You know the kind! Oddly high-pitched, and coming from the direction of the front window, which is where the TV lives.
It wasn’t chirpy bird sounds, though I was hoping it was. It was quite regular. Drippy. Peeking out the windows & front door didn’t help. Nothing likely happening next door. My next thought was the dreaded basement. A bit of Hardy Boys help from the Legendary Husband ruled out – you know – floods.
About that time, I decided tea was in order. And, news! Frankly, the potential flood was more more fun!
The US Supreme Court, battling over Birthright Citizenship. Let’s start with the reported presence of POTUS in the public gallery during the oral arguments, for the first time, ever. Intimidation springs to mind, and I object… but let’s move on from that!
The next thing that sprung into my mind was a song from the Broadway play, 1776, probably because the current Attorney General is a guy named John Sauer. Thus…
Sit down, John! Sit down, John! For God’s sake, John, sit down!
In the play, the reference was to John Adams who was, at least, making sense back in the day.
Apparently, today’s actual event got boring because MS NOW reported that POTUS headed back to the gold (Oops! White) House with nothing resolved.
I, however, have more words in my head. You’ve probably heard me quote the ones from my Intentional Creativity® heritage, before.
I matter. You matter. We matter.
And, my own addition to them…
Mattering Matters!
And, that, dear friend, is what this whole us and them debate is about. “Leaders” who want to matter MORE than everybody else. To decide who matters and what the only right things are to think. Kratos!
I, as you’ve no doubt guessed, OBJECT!
And that takes us straight to the scrappy notion of MetaModern… the place where many things are true and not all of them get along very well. The place where we live! The place where we can choose what to create out of all those scraps. So… off with the news!
I’m off to research geese which live in Florida swampy places. Really! It seems my #Mother Nature painting has requested the symbolic presence of the Holy Spirit! And such geese apparently have pink legs and feet! (Patience, please… photo to follow!)
It’s kind of an odd way to matter, but it feels better and that, as the old saying goes, ain’t nothin’!
Love it if you’d leave a comment, below, and let me know how mattering is happening in your world! (In a scrap quilt world like this, it’s going to take a whole bunch of us!!!)
ps… want some more info on the whole MetaMod thing? Check out my Wisdom Cards… Survival skills for here & now!
I like the idea of being in a scrap quilt with you.
So… are you ready??? I am!
