War and Race Tracks

It's a cool night. The puppies and I have traversed our neighborhood, on our nightly circuitous visitations, stopping periodically, offering me a chance to view the moon.  The earthshine of the crescent moon's albedo, glowed a creamy pearl luminescence hanging high in the heavens, embraced in the celestial beauty of the universe.

The Springtime breeze hums a haunting tune through the branches of our Sycamore tree and the soft yellow porch light casts long dark shadows of the elegiac figure of thick leafy limbs, crossing the sparse grassy patches of our yard.

There are ethereal romantic nights, living on the wind-swept Pacific coast, that conjures the renewal of mind and soul, psychologically and spiritually lifting sagging souls from long, dry, sandy days in the sun.

Yesterday, all of the major news outlets reported that Trump called Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. It was a strategically smart move for Pres. Trump to attempt patching up a frayed and discordant relationship with him. If Pres. Trump does engage America in a war with North Korea, we will need strategic military bases, to serve as an important theatre of operations. Pres. Rodrigo Duterte's assistance and friendship in the Philippines would be as valuable now, as the strategic importance of the Philippines proved in WWII.

Perhaps,... the wheels are getting set in motion, even now. The one thing to remember, is that, even if Trump is driving this car, as it takes off speeding down the race track, there's still time to stop. After all, Trump's multi-billion dollar race car is equipped with anti-lock brakes, and like all cars...brakes come standard.

There is still time to stop and there is still hope.
