9.3.26 - 63 - Day #4

There are so many things which Pa now says which are both funny and insightful. But also strangely dark. 

When he gets up, he has his egg and then he chats for a bit. Yesterday he wanted to go back in quite quickly and Ma asks him to stay and talk. I'm tired, you know he says. Let me lie down. Old men, when they are tired you can find them sitting down, lying down or hanging. And then he says, they are hanging because they are so old but they can't die, so they hang themselves. 

Then I asked him what his favourite ice cream was, and he said, vanilla. I told him that was boring. Then he said, after a few moments of thought. My second favourite flavour is satay. That's Pa. He is still doing punch lines and one liners.

He is so full of love and really gentle. There isn't a single iota of unhappiness in his being. He is light. He keeps saying how much he loves Ma. And I ask him, how did you meet her, and he says we were penpals. And Ma shakes her head, to say No. Then i says I saw her and he does a shooting motion, like an arrow. After that he says, we met in heaven. Tears fill my eyes. Indeed, he has been in love with her since before they were born. They make me believe in a forever love. The only people I know who have had a forever love. Pa, with a heart as open and as generous as garden in paradise. 

Meanwhile Iran is burning. The oil supplies in Tehran and being set on fire by the United States. And the Europeans do nothing. They are assholes. We all hate Americans now. They are the pariah. They have become Israel. At first, they created Israel, and now Israel has created them.

I have no more words for these monsters. Pete Hegseth, anyone can see is deranged, Trump, whom anyone can also see and hear is deranged as well. They are all deranged. The only thing I can think they are is possessed. They are all possessed. The demons, all of the demons, have entered these men and they are acting through them. 

There are so many birds... actually it hasn't rained since I've been here. I have no doubt that the mess in the Middle East is also affecting weather. I don't understand how come these people cannot stand up to America. What is wrong with them? America and its military budget. It is as if they are now presiding over a devastated landscape. 

Can we hope that sense prevails? Can we? 

I spoke to the boys last night. Ghin posted his video and I watched it. It was excellent. Behind the cameras... and there was my beloved classroom. I rewatched it. It's excellent. Well done my baba.
