Fasting and fighting and dying and memories
Fasting and fighting and dying and memories
I broke the complete fast on day 41. Now is day 42 and this is second meal. Last night I slept like a bear in hibernation. Incredible sleep and woke up and at’em. I dreamed about something I do not remember other than the dreams were pleasant.
And today’s Bangkok Post…a flood of memories. I am in the immediate area of much fighting I witnessed during 2010 and 2014. Many deaths and injuries from gunfire, grenades, RPGs, bombs, more.
Today’s front page will mean nothing to most people who were not here. Save for another time. I pray for the good people of Thailand. Thai are amazing I hold them in deep respect. So many things I experienced and witnessed with Thai.
And there is Democracy Monument. I was there so much and got a hotel just a hundred or so meters from this spot in the photo. I was there due to the epicenter of action.
And then came the latest attack. Al Jazeera as I recall said two M79 grenades were fired into the crowded monument in the picture below. At least two died immediately with more than 20 wounded. I do not recall the details but there was also gunfire. There were more than two grenades. At least four. I know because my room took a direct hit. Luckily I had checked out. Another grenade hit roof of next building and blasted a large water cistern which caused a flood at that building. I went up there and looked.
Some thought I was targeted but I do not know. Another room in Bangkok I was in almost took direct RPG hit but that was 2010. This attack was May 2014. But two near misses on two of my hotel rooms is something of a coincidence.
Down at Democracy Monument there was much blood and tears. Thai stayed in the fight. Thai are resilient. That is their way.
And the fighting continued until the coup was complete and Soi and I saw it all.
So strange to be here again. Seeing a far larger global storm collecting and realizing the many months of fighting I saw in 2010 and 2014 are but a component of something far, far larger

Yeah the fight for a totalitarian state goes global .. we are at war and most Americans don't know it or believe meanwhile property is being stolen and people killed right under our noses slo MO incredible I see it everywhere a lone voice in the wilderness since 95. .
Fasting Is Awesome!
Clears The Mind. Facilitates God-Like Healing. So Centering For The Mind & Soul.
I just entered a semi-annual 30 day fast and stewing over current war events leading up to another disappointing American election thinking of the last shit-show wishing I was anywhere but here in America.
