What Gets Me Up in the Morning
Date: Jan 15, 2005

What gets me up in the morning, now that work is not the motivator, quite frankly is usually the “call of nature”, if you get my drift. And immediately thereafter I am hungry. A shower starts my day, wakens my skin and clears out my head and I BEGIN while showering, to think of the day ahead. Sometimes I do start thinking before getting out of bed.
I think Mother Nature is nothing if not VERY consistent. Even in the weather. It is devoted to keeping things the same: patio tomato seed produces tomatoes, bibb lettuce seed produces bibb lettuce, acorn produces oak tree. People produce people. Somewhere in the U.S. the Dept. of Agriculture has a very climate controlled depository for seeds for everything from apples to wheat, in case some pest should attack and destroy a particular strain. Amazing!
Weather cycles repeat themselves. Look at hundred year flood plains for evidence. Its just that people’s memories are short or they don’t believe records. This is a “living planet”, but I didn’t really grasp that until I saw the bubbling pots of earth at Yellowstone. I heard a story once, about two red ants walking upon a Giant Redwood tree. One remarked to the other that he had heard that this tree was alive. Well, yes, says the other, but it hasn’t moved or changed a bit and I have been here my entire life!

Getting up in the morning IS the point. Life is for living ,experiencing, trying new things, so that you slide into heaven with a glass of champagne, covered in dirt, cuts and scratches from the fullness of your life. I didn’t make that up exactly, but I believe it’s true.
I have a letter ordering me to jury duty. I don’t think they will want me on a jury. I feel if a person has gotten that far in our judicial system they are probably guilty, and I want to see ALL the evidence, not just what the judge wants me to see. I don’t care WHY someone did what they did. If they did it, they’re guilty. You can think all you want, but once you act on it, you are responsible. That’s what I think.
