Ode To Cape Cod



Cape Cod is a peninsula island that has its own unique natural environment that has a feeling of sea proximity, sand, salt, surf, seagulls, sea grass, seaweed, sand dunes, sunshine, sea tides, sea air, sea shells, sand dollars, lighthouses, buoys, New England fisherman and seafood.  I don’t really know anything about writing odes 😂 but that is my personal description of and feeling about Cape Cod.  Appreciating Cape Cod is to have appreciation and love for the combination of all of these things.

I’d have to say that the squawking of seagulls and other New England seashore birds is what gives Cape Cod its’ distinctive sound environment.  Along with ocean waves at the coast of course.

Birds are an important part of the beauty of our planet.  I can’t imagine a world without birds in the sky.  I suppose this is because we human beings already have an attachment to their existence.  Something would definitely be missing if suddenly there were no birds.  Even when we don’t really pay attention, we need for them to be there as part of our natural environment.

Scientology

 Earlier today, I found myself thinking about Scientology.  I remember that years ago, I watched the TV series “The Path” on Hulu.  After that, I watched (I don’t recall on what streaming service) “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath” with Leah Remini and Mike Rinder.  This program about Scientology had three seasons and was all about the practices of Scientology and the harm and abuse perpetrated by this cult religion.  It was eye-opening for sure.  I had never previously learned much about cult movements and cult religions, and it was shocking to me to think that such harmful organizations actually exist in the United States of America and that children are born into these cults.  I knew there were religions such as the Jehovah Witnesses and the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saints but I never really knew much about these abusive religions.  While watching the Leah Remini series, I realized that this organization was even worse and more harmf...

COVID

One of the unsettling things about COVID-19 was that before actually contracting it, no one could be absolutely certain where they might fall on its’ Russian roulette wheel of lethalness.  Healthy people with few risk factors could take comfort in believing that they would be unlikely to become seriously ill, but there were always stories and cases in the news of young and seemingly unlikely victims who had in fact lost their lives to COVID.  When I finally got it myself in summer 2022, I had very brief and mild symptoms.  I might totally have my vaccinations to thank for this because in years gone by before I started getting annual flu shots, I had some flus that did a good job of kicking my but and keeping me down for a full week. I must have written that for the benefit of some future people who know little about COVID-19, because obviously anyone who has recently gone through the pandemic doesn’t need this information. 🫢
