Sunday nights make me feel like a programmed brainwashed enslaved person. After all these years, I still fight Sunday night but Sunday night always wins. I can eat too much, stay up too late, drink too much, blow off chores, but when Monday morning comes and the alarm goes off, the program kicks right in regardless of  lack of sleep, heavy stomach and the clutter that didn't get cleared.

What if....what if when the Europeans sailed here they were delighted with the way of the Natives? What if they didn't make the land grab? What if this was a nation that treated the earth like our mother, learned to read and observe the natural world, respected medicine and magic and ancestry? I know it wouldn't be a perfect world but it would be a richer world, a world of many dimensions....

I guess humans were programmed to fight and grab and envy and fear. I just really hate Sunday nights. They diminish for me what could be. But I'm here and I will stay up late and I will drink another glass of wine. Fuck 'em.

Hey friend - do you need a different job? Good luck to you from one who knows!

This nation could certainly do better but we're not alone in our mistreatment of people and planet. I'm afraid human nature is just not as wonderful as we know it could be. I have to find the good news or be drowned in the quagmire of human misdeeds and misery.

I watched a photo documemtary on the changing landscape in China. What's happening there is horrifying. I've been all over this country, good and bad places. America has it's Superfund sites and stripped earth but I've never seen anything as stark as the thousands of acres of waste they're generating in China.

In some places they're moving cities by just knocking one down and moving the people elsewhere. What remains is not pretty, miles of rubble. Not everyone is willing to leave, so they live a city of ruins reduced to scavenging. Very sad.

And that's the 'developed' world.

Sorry to ramble. Now I have to look at some old photos of Monument Valley to get those images out of my head.

I hate Sunday evenings also, but I am getting better at thinking positive. Look on the bright side: only 5 days to the next weekend!

What I like about the weekends is the lack-of-schedule. Couldn't care less what time it is. But on Sunday, I start looking at the clock again. Sucks.
