FEBRUARY 2025
I spent the first days of February 2025 working on the Tiny Particles of Light introduction to this site. On February 8, while driving down 13th Street, a hawk flew directly in front of me over my car.
That evening, while talking with a friend, I expressed how it appeared everything in the media-social and otherwise, politics, and entertainment had become staged more than ever before. Everyone belonged to their favorite cult and wanted power, attention, and dominance over others. The more outrageous, ridiculous, and unpredictable the better. It was so chaotic, boring, and laughable.
I thought about Donald J. Trump and his undying need to be dominant over everything. I couldn’t help but wonder where that desire stemmed from and at what point in his life he decided he was entitled to rule the world. And at what cost? How many people would be required to make the ultimate sacrifice to help him fulfill his personal goals to help him feel accomplished? Would I end up on his list?
