In my geriatric bubble everything is carrying on as usual, EXCEPT for the looks of despair, and sadness, and resignation omnipresent in the faces of the residents, many of whom have served this country as judges, doctors, pilots, soldiers, teachers, nurses. Of those residents who came from England, the USA, Australia, South Africa, Ireland - they came for idealistic reasons. The chose to come to a country they believed had a right to exist, and would be 'a light unto the nations.'
This light has been extinguished by a bunch of fanatic, extremist, racist, would be dictators.
It is a sad sad day. And the people - the wonderful people, who still love this country are out protesting in the streets, at the airport, causing disruptions that are still legal in the eyes of the soon to be gone judicial system.
Everything has taken on a surreal quality. All of this that is happening, can't REALLY be happening. And the weather - hot and humid. The weather is insane all over the world. What have we done to our planet and its peoples? It is time for everyone everywhere to wake up.
