I wrote the title of this post last night after mistakenly reading political headlines. However, I immediately watched some mindless, silly TV show and was able to sleep.

However, I dreamed of the “naughty” kid in school who takes pleasure in creating chaos and is willing to push all buttons and limits for the shear joy of doing so. He has no end goal in mind, just enjoys shaking things up.

I was also reminded of the adage, “give a man enough rope, and he’ll hang himself.”

All that aside, this morning I sit in meditation, watching the sun glorify the nearby mountains, and another thought comes to mind. “No matter how dark the night, it cannot stop the light of day and the beauty revealed in the Universe.” That will be my focus today! To hell with the headlines and the chaos perpetrators attempting to rob my life of joy!
