I have recently updated my eBooks on Amazon Kindle, "The Tao of Jesus V" and "A Handbook for The Spiritual Journey II." I enjoyed writing, and enjoy reading, both books, and am sure I will not do better in what remains of my time left for living.

This Trump mess sullies what remains of my time, but I look at as a challenge worthy of the best of us to stand in the midst of the junk Trump is and is generating, and to look at it as a resplendent opportunity to rise to the occasion and allow it to be for us as the Cyclops was for Ulysses.

Just as Joseph Campbell said, "It took the Cyclops to bring out the hero in Ulysses, so it may well take Trump to bring out the hero in each of us--at the very least, he is well suited to bring out the best we have to offer in dealing with him and his junk as they call to be dealt with.

That will certainly spice things up for the remainder of our days. And, I think that in looking back on it from "the other side," we will be proud of the ways we dealt with the challenge, and the way we went out on a note we never would have been able to hit otherwise.
