It seems forever since I've had the luxury of electricity. Only a few short days ago did I find in the last part needed to repair a broken-down generator I found once able to make my way back to what used to be a metropolitan area. It's been a difficult road this almost 2 decades - the hardest part of survival being able to find clean water and food supplies to sustain me through this journey. <BR/><BR/>I've been in this city for several weeks now, cautiously exploring and yet to find no other living souls. I have a few plants growing up here in this office suite I've settle my residency in. It must have been a high paid executive's office. Sitting here looking out over the desolation, (it's obvious that this city was deserted long ago, maybe even before the cataclysmic change at the end of 2012) I can't even imagine what the previous resident of this office may have been thinking as things were coming to an end. <BR/><BR/>So here I find myself, now scouring through what little is left of world wide web, the most expansive communication network at the peak of our "technological" age finding more of a ghost town than the one I find myself living in. How stable this connection will be I can't say, though I will keep in contact as often as I can. <BR/><BR/>It's funny, I can still remember how mind-boggling and overwhelming the technology that was going to change the world (and of course did as we witnessed our own destruction)... now it seems not much more than a shattered shell of a memory, and all the kings horses and all the kings men that which consumed every possible natural resource, polluted and destroyed civilization, could not fix it and put it back together again. <BR/><BR/>We saw it coming, and I joined your cause to enlighten the world ~ we tried to get them listen, take action, and change their ways, but as we sit here now, we know it was too late. Oddly enough, I still have hope that there will be redemption that life can survive and once again flourish on this planet ~ we've made it this far, however few of us there are, where no one was supposed to make it at all. Maybe, just maybe, now we have the chance to teach those that are left so that the nature can heal and live again, albeit not in our lifetime, maybe in the centuries to come.<BR/><BR/>If only in our dreams...<BR/><BR/>Ever in friendship,<BR/>Suzanne (ByDezin)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-949421001644904537.post-35135490976175548692009-03-05T22:16:00.000-08:002009-03-05T22:16:00.000-08:00God willing I will write again tomorrow but rememb...God willing I will write again tomorrow but remembering the words of John Bradford, the martyred English Protestant reformer who penned “There but for the grace of God go I,” Now we know he may have signed off with “There for the grace of Man go all.”<BR/><BR/>Your friend as always <BR/>Bob WilliamsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
