So Far Away

"A little bit further," the hiker said to those behind him. "Haa," a lot of exhales ensued. "Come on, keep it up." A line of hikers traveling up the snowy ridge could be seen, by a wayfaring choppy helicopter.

Zoom out and there were a lot of aircraft in the skies, each headed toward their own destination. Stunt planes veered right and left, and lower, on the foaming, bright and blue sea, ocean liners steamed ahead, their direction tried and true. Earth was brimming, and on the other side of the galaxy, my planet was just getting started. "Take nothing for granted," the words repeated. I am breathing. I have my health. Lots is happening around me, but doesn't necessarily need to include me. I am keeper of the Past, and I need to move on from it.

But what is there, when you look around you, enjoying, helping, survival and meeting requirements of, 'The powers-that-be', made by people like you and me. So there are others, and dependents, and abuse needs to be kept in check, neglect..

Actually there are atrocities you hear of you just want to be in denial of, but that could use some attention to ensure it never happens again.

I am doing my best, but it keeps comin, so I can only do what I can to stay afloat. Now I am relaxing. I want to express that I hope people are able to take care of themselves so they can live and enjoy. I am at a point where Life is only getting better and better, well I worked for it.

I want anyone who is struggling to have hope and know I care and that there are resources that can help. It does get better.

There is war, yes, across the world. This hurts my heart and makes me grateful. Could it be the end? I don't know, the new generation is growing up, and looking around. They come from a place of Hope, and Love. Do we hand over the reins(? Not simple, since we've spent our whole Lives building up our empires.

Yet, it is inevitable. Youth shall take over, and we shall be but a distant past. So in the meantime, I listen to my music and, 'Chillax.

On my planet, Rhombus, there is a lot of craft fairs, and people grow old gracefully. The teenagers are the rulers. Procreation is not forced, but discussed with everyone's best interest at heart. All are accepted(. All share the territorial disputes. We live in peace(...

Resources are shared and recycled. Ancient burial grounds are respected. If somebody goes missing, (It is a Big deal. Crimes are committed, but are not called crimes, if in Self- defense, and prisons are not torture chambers. There is universal health care. Doctors are paid and schools are cheap. Those with high intellect are given studies to resume, and those with various skills are taught. We pursue our own dreams. All have equal rights. We get along in our little neighborhoods, and shop for necessary items. Everybody's story is told. There is transparency. No one is exploited. Knowledge is shared in group activities, for example cooking. Mental health is taught in schools, and bullies are reprimanded. Everyone enjoys themself. Everyone chips in for the chores, and no one is made a Joke of.= Social media platforms stay safe. There is a general acceptance. The government pays attention to everyone's needs and progresses as is necessary.

Different nations rely on each other and have their back. Everyone does work that makes them comfortable. Any genocide would be nipped in the bud on contact.

One day, I was riding in my horse- drawn carriage, and a bunny crossed my path. I stopped and let him hop by. The flowers were springing up. No one could be brainwashed, because they saw right through it all, every time.

Life went on. I have nothing else.

Post- story writing.. I can only write thinking of other places. I actually have a fog on my brain or my writing that stops me from delving into any certain subject more than just a little. I write as a politician or authoritarian, but I am merely me. I like making art and jewelry, and cooking. My life has been nutty, but I am still here, so..

(Can't complain. Yes, I do really care and hope for the best in the future for everyone. Everyone has beauty, but people need limits. All is not ok. Certain things aren't. As you probably know, the mind needs discipline. As things are how they are, we must take this moment and ( move forward. I continue, but as the past only comes to me in flashes, anyway. My parents have lived a different life than me. I think they were stricter back then. We have come a far way. Innovation and strides are made every day, 'In the beginning..'! What beginning, the world (was always here 😁. Life is not going to end. It's the same. If we could relieve each other's suffering, that would be great. Understand and enjoy and celebrate! For anyone scared, just do your best, but speak up!! The police, yes, the police. Do not live in fear. We're here now. Your mind can go anywhere it wants(. With all the tools for communication, and transportation, your mind can create! I encourage you to express yourself and follow your dreams and be brave and have faith in Yourself. I am happy where I am; I hope you can achieve. Maybe you have an invention you want to share! You don't always have to go along with whatever everyone else says! Take an alternate route, if that's what you need to do. Child- rearing is a Big commitment. Don't forget those that love you. 🥰 They say, life is a game and love is the prize. Forgive yourself, forgive others. Tomorrow's another day, enjoy!

P.S. I sincerely believe everything will pan out for you. Good luck!
