A feeling hangs in the air…

   For quite a while now there’s been a feeling hanging in the air. Maybe better described as an unseen under current that most of us in the survivalist circles have felt, something is off! Actually so many somethings are off that we struggle to put our finger on any one thing and call it the source of the unease we all feel. We know it’s there but what exactly is the issue? Many of us are still employed, even gainfully employed. Probably our families are doing well and have missed no meals, yet the hair on our arms still finds itself standing straight up more often than it has in the past? Troubling!

   I was doing a little surfing (net surfing) this morning and stumbled onto this reference to a Leonard Cohen song, it sounded familiar but I haven’t attempted to find it in its entirety yet. This short section seemed to speak to me as I read it… Is this what we’ve been feeling? Read it for yourself and see if it doesn’t say the same things to you as it did to me? I know it isn’t profound or even greatly written – it is just a short section of a song but something about it carried a more meaningful note in my mind…

“Everybody Knows”

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
