Spring, Baby Goats, Earthquakes, Volcanoes, Oil and As the World Turns
Spring has come on but has been slow to move in here in the Southern Rockies. We have had several baby goats and lost a few, It was a hard winter for the livestock, very cold very snowy and not much relief from the onsluaght of the weather. It was hard to lose a couple of babies but such is the life in the world of birth and death. We got rid of our sheep the other day, sad to see them go but it will be easier to focus on our yaks.
I’ve been in to taking photographs lately and sprung for a new camera, you can check out my gallery HERE. I’m not in to any single type of photography just what ever catches my eye and fancy. I can’t say I’m a phtographer but I aspire to acieve an art as always.
I have to admit this has been an incredibly intense spring. Several major earthquakes, a large volcanoe (more to come I’m sure), an unprecedented oil catastrophe and killer weather in diverse places. One could almost say it all seems quite apocalyptic. Of course the use of the word has been bent out of proportion as the true greek translation of the word means “to reveal hidden information”. Coincidence that the movie 2012 and the events of late seem to beckon to an almost true to life scenario of end times? Where is this all leading and if there is a revealing about to occur what will it be? One can only speculate and wonder, that is if one really cares.
My focus lately has been more on my family and the work needed to be done in the more immediate thing called my life. It seems the only thing that brings me joy are the small things, and my children. It seems a night doesn’t go by when I look up at the sky and take in the vast curtain of clouds or the bright vail of stars. I always feel so big feeling so small, and I try to take in the all. My life is full of hard work and feeling tired but I feel these things with a relish of satisfaction that I’m not wasting my life not thinking or not feeling.
It’s hard to say which direction things will go but I get the feeling it can’t be good. We are staring down the barrel of a galactic gun. I get the feeling we are under a universal microscope in some ones heavenly laboratory being watched and studied.
I’m sorry if I sound so morose, I do feel quite happy with life, and the things I know are more meaningful than the doom and gloom of it all. I know that these trials and tribuilations are necessary to reach the other side, the outcome. I think there is a good place for us all that can, and will survive what lies ahead.
