Summer of '09

It was the summer of mulling. Mulling and more mulling. People hurting each other, people being hurt. People standing up and getting hurt for doing that, people not standing up and getting hurt for that. It was the summer of turmoil. The celestial gods were angry and irritable. They were tired of all of us staying so complacent for so long. Governments argued and fought with their people. People argued and fought with those they loved. New things happened, old things ended.
People were angry and grumpy and creative and innovative all together. It was so much change it had to be an upheaval.
Those that preferred the dolphins were forced into waters with sharks, those that preferred the bite of sharks were stuck with sheen skin of dolphins.
Long living narratives cracked open, the way things were just couldn’t continue to be the way things are.
