Comparing where the sun rose this morning with the picture of where it rose January 1, I can see that it has moved much farther north.
Happy day beloved Joy Train Rider! I trust you had an enjoyable weekend. If you didn’t, I encourage you to do something that helps get you closer to happiness.
It made me happy to get responses such as these from last week’s journeys:
“Thank you so reminding me that we have the power to respond to life in a loving way.”
“I’m inspired every day by your dedication to humanity and the environment. I believe a positive attitude will help us navigate life’s curves with much ease.”
I interpret this to mean that my message of love is getting through. Please keep your thoughts coming.
I often think how bizarre it is that humans twist ourselves into pretzels to accommodate our belief system, even though it means ignoring actual evidence around us.
For example, I love the song “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” but as soon as I found out that a star is actually a nuclear-fusion reactor continuously going off in space, I stopped “wondering” what it is. I don’t enjoy the song in the same way because to me it helps to “dumb down” the magnificence that is a star. Maybe if we thought of it in true context as part of the dynamic universe we are privileged to inhabit, we may not take our world so much for granted?
I have the same concern that “sunrise” and “sunset” feed ignorance about the true relationship of the Earth moving around the sun. It adds to our complacency and mistaken beliefs that we are the center of the universe and everything is about us.
Today I thought we could dash off to a star to observe its inner workings. Will we ever think about it in the same way again.
First stop -Google, as I remember reading about it years ago. Amazing how many different ways we have to ask the question before coming to this article: The Power of Stars to Meet Our Energy Needs.
Whaat?! This is how we learn not only about the explosive nature of the “little” star. but also the fact that scientists are advancing ways to harness star energy and bring it down to use on Earth! Its success would be comparable to the difference electricity made in the 19th Century, they project.
Did you feel a shiver? Because I did. I believe in progress and no doubt you do as well. I would just like to have a wider conversation when things are being planned that can alter the biosphere and affect everyone. We shouldn’t have to come looking for such important information- it should flood our feeds. I certainly didn’t see anything about it until we made this stop.
If something as vital and visible and important as stars are reduced in our thinking to mere satellites for our entertainment, what else might we be wrong about?
Sunrise January 1, 2023. Can you see a difference?
I strive to find answers to existential questions in what is observable and provable around me, including the beneficence of the Life Force. Most of all I search because I know that humanity, “made in the image and likeness of,” could not be intended to stay at this level to which we have sunk. Internecine warfare and reckless endangerment of our environment can only persist as long as we forget who and where we are. So I guess my true motive is to wake us up.
I hope these tours call to our better nature. If we can look with fresh eyes at the dynamic, maybe shame will kick in, or repentance - certainly a desire to do better than we’re currently doing.
As we disembark today I wish you love and joy beloved Rider. I assure you that the way I stay perpetually joyful is by fulfilling the responsibility I feel I’ve been given, to the best of my ability. Bless you.
(This is a subscription-driven tour though I often leave the paywall down so that everyone can have access. Please take a paid subscription to honor the exchange of energy. Thank you to all who have already subscribed.)
Thank your so much my beloved sis. This means soo much to me. To have your admiration is EVERYTHING. Love you 🌹🌹
Audrey Luv, one of the facets of your personality which I, ( as a retired educator), find edifying is that you always do your “ homework”, your research - the ability to extract the pertinent information and present it to your readers/ riders in an enjoyable & teachable moment. Loving every minute of every journey. Brava! 🙌🏽💞
