Midnight rain...
It's raining, and it's midnight, or so close that by the time I finish this, it will be. Rather appropriate, after the Paul Kelly song I quoted a couple of posts ago.
I'm sitting here in bed, thinking things over. Considering the future. My future, the world's future... Sometimes, especially in recent weeks, it feels like I have so many thoughts running through my head that there isn't room for them all, and so they blend and merge together, like someone stuck a hand mixer in my skull and hit 'puree'.
The big stuff, the world-affecting stuff... it's so big and so complicated, and every article I read or news story I hear or see or every opinion I have presented to me, they only serve to confuse and disturb me further. There's no clear cut answers, no simple solution, no matter what either side says. I watch the bombing of Afghanistan, I watch the protest by Islamic extremists, the refusal of any Muslim country to support the US action in Afghanistan, and I can't help wondering if maybe this is what was planned all along, whether the US is merely sealing its fate.
And the more I think about it, the worse I feel, and the less sense any of it makes to me. The world has changed, and not for the better, and I wonder what the future will bring.
