@polarberry, thank you for posting. I have always enjoyed reading your insightful contributions, and am happy you are a part of this community. Because I am venturing off-topic here, I will post some of my thoughts under the “What should I do with my intuitive experiences? Where Should I Go From Here?” Forum topic. https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/q-a/where-should-i-go-from-here/paged/5/#post-15181
Interrupting this thread to thank you for the donations. It is a huge help. Lynn, Bluebelle, and Elaine, you are heroes for asking the group. Please remember it's optional! And I don't keep track of whether you donate! In fact, I couldn't keep track because my brain can't hold all that detail. You will get a personal thank you note from me when you donate because I am so grateful, and if you are a monthly donator, I will see it each month and send you a note. But never ever make donating a duty; or if you don't donate, don't stop coming here.
Also when you sign up for Read the Future night, again, do not worry if you can't donate. I don't want you to not come because you couldn't donate. Again, I don't keep track.
Donating helps me keep this site going. It does also help you, the donator, when you feel that a part of you is going towards something you believe in. Donating actually increases your well being and happiness, studies show! So if you donate, do it for that reason. And if you can't, it's okay.
Now back to The Unraveling of Donald Trump and the future of our world.
I watched a few of the Sunday talk show snippets where some of T’s people were trying (unsuccessfully) to muddy the water and tell untruths. I was very pleased to see that they were not effective and (cough, cough Steven Miller) sometimes seemed to just start babbling instead of making arguments (because he was stumped for an answer). In one of the interviews, one of T’s friends even started criticizing him. I did a double-take on that one but realized that when they see which way the wind is blowing, they will be looking to secure their livelihoods for after he is no longer in power.
Does anyone else get the feeling that we are currently at the stage in this saga that you could compare to just arriving at the top of a rollercoaster - right before you starting hurtling down the other side?
On a side note @Polarberry, I agree that you should keep posting. Everyone has something to contribute to this forum. It is always helpful to have lots of different perspectives.
Thank you for your very sweet words. I am glad yo enjoyed my meditation description. It is very good to know I am not alone. haha.
I appreciate how you explained about intuition, meditation and bird songs. I now have a new way of looking at these interruptions. Even normal everyday things I notice.

YES! In fact, I thought of that exact image, just last week. I was watching a rerun of the movie "Parenthood." There's a scene where Steve Martin, who feels beaten down and really wants his life to be controllable, neat and tidy, imagines himself on a rollercoaster while some crazy shenanigans are going on around him. After he gets his bearings and exhales, he finds that he can manage, and actually enjoy, the ride.
When I watched that scene, I immediately thought of what's been happening to us in this country and world. There are some things you just can't control. I can't say that I'm actually enjoying the ride, but I/we can certainly manage it!
@lovendures -- I'm off topic, but just wanted to share that I really enjoyed your meditation description. I can totally relate, and I think that experience must be universal! Your description made me think of the book, "10% Happier" by Dan Harris, that you might enjoy. Harris is a journalist and co-host of weekend "Good Morning America." He is a left-brain cynic who gives a very funny account of his humbling experience with meditation. Harris is now a convert, even traveling the country, holding meditation seminars. Long story why and how he got there, but I found it quite entertaining.
For all the hell we have been put thru the last 3 years, we are getting the payback now. Trump is losing it publically and its getting funnier by the minute. My guess is that hes about 3 hours and 12 tweets away from fully cracking and challenging a random person on twitter to a duel in the schoolyard at 3pm. Maybe Linda McMahon will stream it on PPV and Betsy Devoss will have to break it up with her anti-bear arsenal stashed in the school.
The best part of Graham trying to defend Trump..
Graham’s major talking point was the the accusations against Trump amount to “hearsay.” He repeated the phrase 11 times, as though it were an incantation that, by magic, would cause the pile of evidence against Trump to disappear. For instance, he declared: “It’s all hearsay. You can’t get a parking ticket conviction based on hearsay. The whistle-blower didn’t hear the phone call.”
He got dumbass trying to protect him. All I can do is laugh.
