A severe case of the Mondays

I took note this morning, despite the frigid air and snow covered ground, there are birds again. They are flying.. they are chirping.. they are looking for food. They are coming back. Yes, indeed.. spring will spring.
And with it comes severe weather, the risk of tornadoes destroying homes, hurricane season, El Nino, record heat, misery, air conditioners breaking, and morbid high temperatures making trousers soaked in sweat for the remainder of the day. That is summer.. and right now lots of people are begging Mama Nature to provide that. As for me? I’ll miss the cold. It’s already fleeting..

Onto the news, also fleeting by the second. I warn you in advance, not much of today’s news is good. Unless you like Jessica Alba in horror movies:

This is the state of horror in the world–the real kind.. There is testimony from behind the cell walls of prison camps in North Korea. CNN reports this:“A North Korean prison camp survivor told of a pregnant woman in a condition of near-starvation who gave birth to a baby — a new life born against all odds in a grim camp. A security agent heard the baby’s cries and beat the mother as a punishment. She begged him to let her keep the baby, but he kept beating her. With shaking hands, the mother was forced to pick up her newborn and put the baby face down in water until the cries stopped and a water bubble formed from the newborn’s mouth.” Beyond disgusting.. beyond horrific. This is real… The crimes being committed against humanity are dreadful and continuous.. And now the big question at the United Nations: Will NK ally China block action?

When I read stories like this, I literally weep–and I mean that.. A father watched his entire family die in a burning car and could not save them.. The family had just left a birthday party and was going back home.. I link this story not to bring more added pain and misery to the man who now must face a life after this grim event, but because I hope you, reading this, can pray or ask God or ask Allah or ask the collective consciousness to bring some type of goodness or love to this man’s life.. I cannot even imagine the suffering endured by his family, and now by him..
