There are many times in the last few years and especially the last 2
yrs I have gotten images / messages that certain areas around here
will be in bad shape........ the words I get to describe these
images are <desolate > not like a war image..... just
<empty> not able to grow grass in some areas like the ground
just can't do it ....... like people don't want to live in the area
because it just can't support life there. Not like contamination but
for some reason it is just dry/ empty/ no reason to be there.
Several times it is the word <drought> I keep wondering about
things like war and it just isn't that........it is something
else.......... tonight for the first time the word is
...<famine> ........
these images and thoughts came way before this travesty listed below
so I can't say the news is influencing me it is just little things.
Like when my husband drives by somewhere on the way to the city and
says things like " I can't imagine how crowded this will be 20 yrs
from now." I tell him it won't be. Then there is times we drive by a
place of ours and I am told that we won't be able to grow things like
grass in a certain area these thoughts just pop up out of the blue.I
just don't see a "growth" kind of thing going on. If anything I see
the opposite whatever that may be.< Struggle> is also a word
that comes to light.

<Tepco's removal of radioactive fuel could set off uncontrolled
chain reaction
<One wrong move and Fukushima could poison the entire northern
hemisphere with deadly radioactive plutonium and uranium isotopes
with half lives of millions of years. In the worst case, it could
turn the soils into poison across nearly half the planet, causing
much of the northern hemisphere to be uninhabitable by humans
I have to wonder about all these thoughts and images I am given when
I see news articles like the one above. Some people say prayer is
the answer. That may be but if anything you need to pray for wisdom
to take the proper actions in your area/ life/ future preparations
to be able to deal with adversity. Money is a good thing but in this
case money won't do it all. I don't think money will be able to even
come close to touching this. It is a action, way of doing things on
your own for your family and the people or community around you to
be able to cope and adjust to what is possibly coming our way.
It may sound like no big deal when it appears more weather
related but think again, that is a HUGE thing! There are just too
many things involved when I say weather. Our weather could be
effecting us not only because of just natural drastic weather
changes but also we have no clue how things we are doing or possible
disasters man made or otherwise can determine this kind of thing.
You can't sit around and worry about everything but you sure can
go forward with a "eyes wide open" attitude.
Try not to be to distracted by our daily struggles.
Keep looking ahead as to how to keep things in a "prep" mode.
Educate yourself and yours on various subjects. Diversity in
knowledge is a good thing. You never know when you may need that
little bit of info someone around you may have.
Encourage those around you to learn useful things whether it be
medical, farming, cooking, even how to be a supportive counselor to
others (believe me it will be needed)
Teach. Anyone and everyone that is receptive to learning. Old or
young. If someone takes a interest in something you are doing share
this knowledge. It is like in the garden world. We have extra plants
so we share it with neighbors not only to be kind and generous but
also because if something happens to yours and they die you can get
a new start from the neighbor you shared with.
Well that is enough of this stuff. I try not to let these images
overtake me. I try to keep going with daily life and thinking about
how the things I do today will be a help for the tomorrows to come.
