When we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us…
We can truly reach great heights! 😉

Rising To Great Heights
Tag Archives: Progress
iPhone Generation
It’s a beautiful day.
Friends are all sitting on the boat together.Â
One is even getting married, a bride-to-be.Â
Sky is clear and water is blue.
Yet not one person is looking up from their screen.
Apparently the virtual world is so much more intriguing.
Soon everyone will be lost in the Metaverse.
The real world left to become a cesspool that perhaps no one cares much about anymore.
Is this really what we call progress?

Strong and Knowledgeable
If you know your own strength and what you can do…
Then you also know what you can’t do.
While our dreams and imagination can be “the sky’s the limit,”
The reality is we are human and we have to learn, grow, and make progress incrementally.
Still it’s a fight every day to get stronger as people and as souls. 😉

Anti-Dentite, Like Pulling Teeth
This is a hilarious statue of dentist using a pliers to pull out someone’s teeth.
Notice the dentist has his foot up to get some leverage to pull out the teeth, yikes!
I guess this is how things were in the “olden days.”
No Anesthesia either!
I’m sure in a hundred years from now, they’ll look at our state of healthcare and laugh too.
Progress is a great thing! 😉

Washington Monument Tall and Proud
Thought this was a pretty picture of the Washington Monument.
Marble Obelisk that stands tall and proud against the clear blue sky in the nation’s capital
Inspiring and hopeful for the future, if people don’t blow the opportunities for collaboration and progress. 😉

Going In Circles
One administration comes and another goes.
The new executive orders and legislations reverse the old ones.
– Keystone Pipeline
– Travel Ban from potential Terrorist Countries
– Paris Climate Accord
– Membership in World Health Organization
– Deregulation
– Taxes
As a country, we are (borderline) bipolar!
And like a pendulum, we swing back and forth getting nowhere and driving the rest of the world crazy.
Can’t we actually move forward without the perennial one step forward, one step back nauseating dance we keep doing.
Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran are moving forward and they are not waiting for us to figure out what we actually want and get our national act together to move decisively and definitively forward. 😉

Walking Dead: Can’t Wait
A lot of us can’t wait for Walking Dead Season 11 coming in 2021!
24 more episodes of killing the crazy zombies.
Everyone’s got to hold on and survive in a world that is in full apocalypse mode.
It doesn’t take much for society to revert to biblical Sodom and Gomorrah where the wheels come completely off the proverbial bus.
We should know because aside from advances in technology and medicine, a lot of the world is well on the way there! 😉

Take Me To Your Leader
Is there a leader in the house?
Anyone, anyone a leader here…
I need to find a leader.
Someone who I can look up to.
Who feels deeply, compassionately, and honestly cares about others.
With faith and integrity, and who does the right thing, regardless.
They inspire, rarely tire, and seek to make us all more than we otherwise are.
Imbued with discerning insight and an ageless wisdom.
Carrying forth a great vision, and a path and passion to get us there.
They bring unity, and stand alongside each and every one of us.
Never an autocrat, a bureaucrat, or a stinkin’ rat.
Just someone who is a genuine leader. 😉
