HEY WASCULLY WABBITS IT’S WABI SABI WEEK
SO... this is whole week of celebrating the transient and imperfections in humans being and more than that, the acceptance of those concepts.
Wabi Sabi is. A Japanese concept that can be learned about in Wikipedia of course or in a.book titled “The Atlas Of Happiness” by (? Helen Russell). This book summarizes “happiness concepts” from around the globe and you may be <sarcasm> shoc led to find out that the entire world is not focused.on financial maximizing as the key to ultimate satisfaction and glee.
Since Wabi Sabi changes the expectations a bit, I thought I’d.reframe our pandemic reality a bit in a few brief scenarios in the next three entries.
“Drawing on your Inner Happiness?”
In this Pandemic Era (PE) we get a White House briefing about every day and we hear from some Governors and a whole bunch of doctors. Quite frankly as the days go on and the messages are repeaterdly incoherent they almost become funny (if they weren’t. So sad. It has come to the point where I want the information, however, I can’t really stomach the sounds of the voices I hear. Therefore, I am starting to pretend I’m hearing the news. Delivered in the. Voices of some of my favorite cartoon characters. So with no further ado...welcome to today’s news briefing and commentary.
we now go live to the White House Press room We are expecting to. Hear from President Tony the Tiger, Vice President Scoo B. Doo Governor Elmer Fudd and from the “Economic Stimulus Task Force” we will have Popeye and Wiley Coyote.
Ladies and gentlemen the President of the United States
“Good afternoon—-no wait not good afternoon it’s Great! I have heard from Governors from many states and they have not sugar coated things for me their states are doing Great! They’ve started to get ventilators and they are working Great! I talked with d some of the. Big restaurant chains and they are ready to go when we van open up and they assure me that their food will taste Great in fact better than ever before. So to sum it up you’ll get a check with my name on it and then you’ll be doing Great.
President Tiger starts to look around the room and says ..”Now we’ll hear from. Vice President. Doo. He and his gang have been driving aroun in a specially designed mobile unit spot checking mysterious Bed and Breakfast haunts and malt shops. He’s going to fill you in on all the Great work they’ve done. Scooby, Scooby Doo where are you?” A reprter. Stand up... “mr. Vice President can you briefly sum up the situation out there in the country especially the state of testing and systematic tracking?” “Rut Row—-Yikes”.
Thanks Mr. Doo. Let’s go to the studio for comment.
Well Chet what’s your view on the briefing so far?
Well Eric—seems to be another day of the same stuff ax yesterday except for no reports of magical cures. So Chet why nocclaims today? Well Eric —some fifth grade students who are being homeschooled shot down the last three vaccine offerings in about an hour. You see.Mr. Big Pharma would have gotten away with it if it hadn’t been for those.meddling kids.”
Next we’ll have the reaction from Governor. Fudd. Governor, what’s your view on the status of things?”
“Well it’s Wooten. Wheelie wheelie Wooten. We’re. Working a Wound the clock but we can’t wee-lie on words from the feds. It’s. Like we can’t. “TWUST the Washington. Wascculls just like we are Wussians .”
We are going to wrap up the cbriefling with some folks from the economic task force. Here’s CCaptain Popeye who we’ve brought in to fight the war on poverty.
“Yuck Yuck Yuck...”. We’re startin’ to open up the economy taking. Some precautions... Our initial. 200 Billion in loans will be used to get the Olive Oil and Pop-top Spinach factories rolling and then everything should be smooth sailing from there. Mr. Coyote couldn’t be with us today but tomorrow he will be unveiling a new small business portal he has ordered up from the Acme Economy Explosion Group. According to initial reports this plan should get us over the initial cliff presented by unemployment and consumer fears.
—-Well there you have it—another day in the pandemic.
Please take care of each other and yourselves and know that this is a Wabi Sabi world. More in Wabi Sabi Week tomorrow.
