A Shower of Doves

Monday, September 29, 2025

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

Peace.

What a concept, what a proposition.

A place called Peace where it's safe to build a dream.

When you're safe to dream, and where you're safe to build your dreams... then and there is a place called Peace.

Today's sunrise is a sky full of dreams of peace, a shower of doves.

On with our show... O/

Been thinking on Cancel Culture lately and what it says about this moment in history.

It's shame. It's disbelief. It's cowardice.

All rolled up into one act of dismissal.

Cancel Culture is a room full of cowards in cubicles at their computers ashamed and unwilling to recognize what's good in the world.

An inhabitant of Cancel Culture is a Hero refusing to take the Call, to choose to live their story, to save their own private dream of the world.

Find the courage to live a good life or do the world a favor and Cancel your whining acts of cancelations.

Your cellphone rings. Caller ID shows the name: Hope. Do you know a Hope? Maybe it's the wrong number? Maybe it's a prank? Maybe, maybe, maybe...?

A Cancel Culture Coward silences the phone. "It's never anything good," they say, "why waste the time?"

Because Life is about having a hope (called a dream of something better) and following the steps to make it real.

It's why stories work; they're prescriptive.

It's what all this bad News is about. Phones are ringing all over the Country looking for heroes to answer each call and save the day.

What you Cancel cowards is Hope.

The belief Life can be better and so it should be is what's at risk with every act of your denial.

There's no shame in asserting Life's value. We emphasize what's good about us more.

Because what we feed is what grows.

We use tragedy as an opportunity to heal and grow.

Not as something to deny and cancel.

The reason why bad news, acts of immorality, shock us to watch them is because we know we're better than what we witness.

Life can be a positive worthwhile experience and so it should be one.

Wonderfell is a place for Hope, a place to remind you that you're more than flesh and blood, you're a living dream in a shared dream called Life.

We got so lost in our pride of solving puzzles that give us better options to the weather, so lost in the acts of Science we forgot why we started to 'Science' at all.

Wonder! Life alive! So we could better care for ourselves and others because Life is worth living... Love, Joy, and Friendship exist and we ought to keep ourselves safe and feeling our best as long as we can to enjoy them.

Beauty, Faith, Hope, Joy and Love... we're almost embarrassed to speak about them openly.

I'm speaking about them.

Everyday, every morning, a reminder that Life is worth your wonder and awe and gratitude.

Thank you for reading. If your spirit is raised even ever so slightly, if even only a bit of light finds you while reading me, I'll consider it a win.

(And a pun.)

Take care, cancel a coward, help heal a tragedy, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
