You stated what I’ve been feeling perfectly. The world has so obviously changed, especially these past couple years. It’s just become so blatant. Sad and scary, yes, but I’m not sure what can be done to get back to those days you spoke of. Somehow, I feel it’s important that we do this, though.

Yes, it has changed, and anyone who is awake (not "woke") can see it. I don't have all the answers, but I do believe that staying connected to the natural world--plants, animals, nature, etc.--is one way to make a bridge back. If we left it (or were forced to leave it without knowing), we can go back.

Thank you! I'm trying to figure out how we actually got "out" of those days, because I think it's more than just the simple passage of time.

Wow Melanie, this is some powerful writing & so true. Something is strange & it really makes me think. Loved this one the most.

Thanks, Mar. 💕 I guess a lot of people are noticing this, and I know how strange it sounds. But in my opinion, it's undeniable. Something's up.

Things are indeed speeding up. They are so much more so than when I was a young man or child. But when I say it out loud, people look at me weird. Great blog. Eye opening and I know I am not alone.

You are not alone, and many people have noticed this. But as you said, when you say it out loud, people look at you weird. It is not a "getting older" thing. It stands to reason that older people would notice this because they've seen more years and can remember more times. And many of us have very good memories . . . and we remember things being very different. We can't all be weird.

Glad o still have a good memory. There are those who wish I didn't. Yes, we can't all be weird is spot on.

I loved this & the wording was perfect. I feel the same & we know the universe is changing, making time speed up.

Thank you! I know I am not the only one noticing it, but how do you say it . . . ? It does sound a bit bizarre, but if you pay any attention whatsoever, you simply cannot deny that something strange is going on.

Seems like they have weaponized just about everything and being 63 now I remember those days you speak of. I do believe we have a better future ahead and must keep that vision fresh just like the bread ~
