Brodie yaps on about meeting a Waterloo

Heard this name the other day…Made a golden point to read up about Napoleon Bonaparte…seems this larger than life tactical, conquering guy who became an emperor… who conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century…experienced continuing success at building his empire…and then…he meet his Waterloo?!…What is that??…Well, it’s the thing that one of the candidates for POTUS 2017 will be owning after all the votes are in and counted on November 8th.  Hard fought on both sides…both candidates had their moments of seeming unbeatable…but now the waters are cresting…running freely and there is no stopping the outcome…history in the making.

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”  Buddha

…now that is a golden thought.

Rapid pings drilling
Staccato and percussion
Such a sturdy bird

Brodie opined, shifted then sifted then the leak

Reflecting here… what have we learned during this presidential campaign for POTUS term 2017-20??!…I must admit that my golden confusion has stayed with me through this whole process…Let me share…I consistently opined that my golden outlook kept me square in the middle…no right…no left…in the center, mid, midway…try to do that sometime…it’s quite the challenge.  I endeavored  to uplift all elephants and donkeys…I focused on the facts…sometimes with drool comments…excuse me… droll comments.  There was never a leak coming from me…until today, however…I could not help this…My thoughts took me to the day after the election…November 9th…the day after…and I leaked.  I realized that I must prepare myself…either way…I must lay golden ground work thoughts for the next administration…donkey or elephant.  Hopefully, many folks will also formulate their feelings and thoughts and go for the gold…rise above and help our country move forward…for the good…for the nation…for the same boat.

Brilliant red male cardinal

My chirps are for him

My red tinged crest attracts him

Big Red’s songs woo me
