FRANKLY SPEAKING,
IT’S officially the hurricane season in the Pacific and what’s brewing at this moment is hurricane Frank. Hawaii hurricanes typically begin off Baha California, traveling West-Northwest along with tons of tourists, the hurricane slowly weakening on its way. This year’s hurricane forecast for Hawaii, I’m told, is low both in numbers and intensities, much like income projections for US citizens. Then again, in terms of weather and economics, anything can happen along the way.
If you believe in forecasts, like I generally do, then you’ll have to believe in climate change, the never-endingness of Putin’s Special Operations, China’s determination to go to war over Taiwan, and the inevitability of Trump becoming President again in 2024. But then, if you believe in these forecasts, you should also believe in democracy, the goodness of humankind, success in stewardship of the Earth, and almost every mother’s undying caring for their sons’ and daughters’ best interests. Don’t forget: I did said generally.
But most importantly, it isn’t the end result or end-game, it’s the journey and what we each learn along the way that really counts. After all, it’s not at all easy to predict the results of individual actions, even in the clearest of situations. The Butterfly Effect is ALWAYS at work in the overall scheme of things.
Roll over, Nostradamus, Jean Dixon, Punxsutawny Phil and Paul the Octopus. Toss aside your tempest prognosticator (aka leech barometer). Turn a cold, critical shoulder to Wells, Tesla, Ford and the futuristic industrialists as well as today’s social influencers Edgar Case, Marshall McLuhan and Cristiano Ronaldo. My humble suggestion: (1) Do unto other living things and the Earth as you would have done unto you; and (2) live firmly in the present, being conscious and cognizant of things that repeat (i. e. science) and the usefulness of intuition (i. e. pathos or emotions) when reason and logic fail, which they so often do.
