Cosmic Catalogue: Facts are fuzzy

 

By Cassandra Tyndall

When troubled times are on the horizon, there are various options to explore to discover truth. 

There is religion. 

There is wisdom from philosophers from ancient eras. 

There are the historical facts, which can help put it in context.  

One thing is for certain, as Greek philosopher Aeschylus said,” The first casualty of war is the truth.” 

That is one truth you can most certainly take to the bank. The facts are fuzzier than before. The smokescreens are thicker than they’ve ever been. The puppet strings of polarization are stronger than ever. The goal is to confuse, create chaos and divide, which the astrology of this week amplifies. 

When you realize this truth, an inner peace dawns. A reconstruction of what it is that YOU value, not what the talking heads say. Let cool heads and warm hearts prevail.

“Why can’t you see that you are my child? Why don’t you know that you are my mind? Tell everyone in the world that I’m you. Take this promise to the end of you,” said heavy metal musician Serj Tankian.

My friend Terry Gulick, who passed away earlier this year, used to tease me about my favorite yard tree. Terry did a lot of gardening jobs when he wasn’t mentoring kids, and he was amused and a little offended by what I’d allowed to grow up in my former vegetable patch. It was bad enough…

What Killington was like in 1965

Killington was in the town of Sherburne in 1965. I remember going to the Sherburne Town Meeting in March of 1966. The ski area shut down until noon as the men all attended the morning portion of the meeting. It was mainly devoted to the highway department. A lengthy debate occurred about whether the town…
