Thankful for the Awful News

Wednesday, August 13, 2025

Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.

Welcome back. O/

Still an hour or so till sunrise.

Hope your dreams go well.

Hope all is well.
Time for a spell.

Here we go.
On with our show...

Transition Day, something in the air.

They come more often lately.

It's a good thing; the World could use some healing.

And we are healing.

It's what all this awkwardness is about.

To heal anything you first need a diagnosis.

Consider The News our symptoms, consider how we treat each other a symptom, consider how we treat ourselves a symptom.

We're so much better than we show ourselves we are.

We could be thankful for the awful News.

Like showing up to the doctor's office with all your symptoms flared up, The Media is doing us good.

The issue, then, isn't the Bad News of the Day, it's what are we doing about it.

Things don't have to be this way.

Life doesn't have to look the way our screens portray it to.

We have choice.

So what are we choosing to cause a day's news cycle to look the way they do?

Because it is your fault.

You are alive, so it is your fault.

It's how we treat each other; it's what we tell ourselves we value.

We're out of sync.

Ever wonder why a movie makes you laugh, makes you cry, at the same time it does another person regardless of their race, creed, or prefix, or pronoun of choice?

Why we cheer the Hero on regardless of the color of their skin is the cure for racism, is the medicine for the whole world.

Morality exists.

There is a certain right way to live and we all know it, all can sense it.

It has to do with spirit, with soul.

Our successes with Science have made it difficult to discuss because numbers don't stick to it.

But, yet, you still cheer the hero on, still know when they win.

If Darth defeated Luke, my good nerdy friends, The Star Wars Saga would be a flop because it would attempt to prove a lie.

A story, just like life, has to display the true way of things to be a success.

Consider the stories of the day, the bad news, as unfinished business.

We're in Act 3 America.

We collectively know what's right: Kindness, community, compassion.

Yet we pay: Greed, selfishness, and ire.

Spectacle starts the story looking like the second group and ends it with the first.

A spectacle of kindness, community, goodwill and compassion is brewing.

It has to if we're to survive all this immoral hate.

I add my morning journal to feed what's best about us, what's right about us.

I hope Wonderfell is a catalyst for you to have a better day.

I hope you realize the hero always wins because the World works in a certain way.

I hope you actively join the winning team.

Take care, consider the moral nature of stories, apply them to your understanding of life, apply them to the stories of the day, see where the heroes are, help them win, be one yourself, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
