6101

Last night's dream had overtones of what's going on in New Orleans. I was in a boat or van that was part of a convoy of vehicles. The unit we were in formed a compartment that was self-contained, but attached forward and aft to other units. There were four people in each compartment. We were armed. It was in the dead of night and we were running by way of spot lights.

People kept appearing on the sides of the roads or channels. Some tried to jump on board, but the compartments were rounded and slick. They would often fall away into the darkness. I think I knew the three people that I was with. We had been friends and had volunteered to help out. It wasn't clear how we were helping anyone. We were carrying no supplies or medicines. We were just cruising through the darkness with guns at the ready. The only noises were the shouts of people in the darkness and the staccato sounds of our engines as we motored along.

Feeling good right at the moment. Had a difficult time getting up today. Arose late and went to do my laundry. The laundromat was a pig sty. The coin machines were out of change. My laundry went relatively smoothly since I had change and my washer didn't crap out on me. Others were less fortunate. No change. Washers that took their money and didn't work.

I was in a haze it seemed. Finally got done and came home. Rested for a while and felt better. Got up and did a round of Qigong/yoga practice. Felt better. Shaved and cleaned up. Went out for fish and chips (sand dabs). Feel really good now.

Earlier in the day, somehow lost the groove I was in yesterday. Qigong and food brought me back to center. Left a message for my sister about me coming her way next week. Checked rental cars. Will book one tomorrow. Checked my airline reservation--they changed the flight times slightly (by a few minutes).

Talked with my daughter. She's volunteered to help out in Louisiana. Good for her. She may get called up before the week is over. I worry about the disease situation there and having her go into it. I'm proud of her for taking the step to help.

Set up next Wednesday as a Team Mettle meeting date. Should have everyone there but one. Close enough. Reread the Hawkins papers that G gave me from the Eye of the I. She was referring to him a lot on Tuesday, so was of benefit to read it over again. He speaks at length about the mind, thinking, thoughts, and related subjects.

Unseasonably cool the past week. Was chilly tonight at 7pm. Where's the global warming when you need it?

L passed a New Orleans story along that is off the charts in terms of how some people were treated. You can bet that that's the tip of the floating debris on such stories. The cops threatened these people who were doing nothing but trying to survive. I suppose it's already being scripted, but this is going to make one helluva TV dramatization. Real stories from real people about how they were treated.

Still night, tonight. Winds have abated. They were swirling about earlier in the day. I find myself at peace once again. Thank you universe for the quiet time.
