"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore."-


That's "WTF is he/she talking about?", "WTF is she/he thinking?", "WTF is he/she smoking?", "WTF is wrong with him/her/them?", and (the golden question) "just WTF is up everyone's behinds?"

Behold a quiet sort of war taking place in people's thoughts, hearts, and spirits.  I like to think of it as art but you can call it a WTF fest.

This is a stormy week, folks, in more ways than one.  Yes, some parts may experience stormy weather.  At worst, tornadoes.  And, overall, the landscape might be gloomy.

But you'll have storms going on in people's heads as well.  In conversations.  This is kind of a moody atmosphere many will be contending with, not that this will be surprising.  I mean, some of us need to take a good look at who and what we are dealing with here.

My suggestion would be to bring your brightest and funkiest umbrella to work, and lay low this week.  Try not to get sucked into pointless conversations disguised as intellectually stimulating discussions, learning discoveries, and opportunities to evolve (my ass).  

Mind your own business, keep your nose to the grindstone, even if others' behavior and activities make you grit your teeth.  That feeling will be over soon enough.  It has to be.  That's what the Clouds is about so rest assured that all the confusion, the nonsense, the hype, the nauseating overrated stuff-- all of it will disappear, all of it will go away.

Some are desperately seeking attention at this time.  Others have no idea what they're doing or saying, or what kind of example they're setting here.  Pay no mind to it.  Avoid the drama and "the excitement" if you can.  Allow no one to rile you up (and there won't be a shortage of folks trying to do exactly that).

Change up your schedule a little.  Some of you will have no choice but to do it, anyhow, as you adjust to tasks.  Keep busy.  And feel free to tell some others that you're busy.

Don't expect a decent answer, response, or explanation. 

Don't offer your opinion (unless asked for it, and maybe even then).

Don't make or believe in any (new) promises.

Do tell or show someone that you're thinking of them.  This isn't mandatory.  I think some of us know that we're connected upstairs and in spirit.  And, yeah, we enjoy it.

Dream a little, manifest a little.  Meditate and/or indulge in the kind of dreaming that turns into what you consider a work of art.  Mull over the options before you real good.  This is the kind of week for that. 

Pace yourselves well.  One thing at a time.

Enjoy the calm before, and after, the storm... as well as that natural high (hee).  Amuse yourselves and try to have an awesome week.
