OGT DAILY Day Three Hundred and Sixty COUNTDOWN

Sunday will have been 365 days since I started this blog and I just wanted to take stock and give you all the heads up.   It has been a chore at times and as you can see I have had to have catch up days, but it has also been a boon and a delight.   Not only did it force me to find a glimmering diamond within each waking day in a year of chaos, darkness and madness, but it kept me a on a schedule to do so and allowed me to change the lens in my glasses to see beyond the obvious and look at a bigger cycle of time; at the possibility of resilience and change.   In the space of 365 days many things can change and I'll list a few:

The Women's March
The Me-Too movement
Tax Reform
Escalation to war
The dropping popularity of the current president
The election of women and democrats in Republican strongholds
Decimation of the EPA
The maintenance of the Paris accord by European Union and the rest of the world
The downfall of Steve Bannon

What will another 365 days bring - so much could be different a year from now.
I will admit to binge watching trash TV during the "deep freeze" - namely "The Tudors."

Cardinal Woolsey,  Thomas Merton, and Thomas Cromwell all came, ruled and lost their heads under the tempestuous reign of terror that was Henry the Eighth

.   Trashy as it is - it reminds me that greed and mindless corruption is a given in humanity as is compassion, kindness, and wisdom.

The wheel will turn again and again.
