Open Wide

It's what a dentist would say at your visit.  I would obey, sit and worry what he would find.  It would be the familiar, the expected but still anxiety inducing.
Today it's some politicians, plutocrats, oligarchs, moneymen asking us to open up the country.  How wide?  They don't really know.
What will happen is unknowable at this time.
I think of the saying, is it from Dr. Martin Luther King, 'if one man is not free, I am not free'.  So then if one man is not safe no man is safe.  And again if one man is not not safe nothing is safe, not our commerce, not our stock market, not our future.  Someone sneezed on it all.
Is that future, the trajectory the world was on in January, feasible, sensible, safe?
I've got nothing more to say.
That's how my mind is working these days  It flits from one idea to another.  It doesn't linger long enough to resolve anything. 
I don't know if it's possible for every one to be safe but increasing that number would bring stability in health, commerce and perhaps even my thinking.


Central Park, a good place to sit, just sit, no expectations.
