Learning To Fly
That modern, magazine cover world we were taking for granted, even if it didn’t exactly apply to our own lives, seems like it’s getting a bit frayed.
Literally to the point the old fears, of snakes and spiders and other shadowy un-named things are starting to crawl out of the corners of our subconscious in ways our modern, scientific world told us were just figments of the imagination of some pre-modern age, but are starting to take on the shapes of our modern world, of medicine and media, money and all the seemingly stable structures and strictures we’ve taken for granted, but are shifting under foot. Their dark sides growing, as the old, animating lights fade.
WTF is going on? Where are the good guys? The movies and the politics used to be about things relatable, but that middle ground is shrinking, leaving these cartoon characters, where the super villains are winning and the heroes play out as delusional tragedy.
We are finding there are ever larger forces at work, beyond even what we thought controlled our lives. Is there some cocoon to crawl back into, like a billionaire building a bunker, or are we left out to be swept away in the storm?
Our safe spaces are turning into a testing ground, as the driving forces shift from greed to fear. We are in a really big cycle, that has been going up…
