"No one grants me freedom for I am a free person. Lock me up and throw away the key for all I care. But you will never be able to coerce me into being vaccinated." Christine Anderson, MEP
I'm the same. Never will I allow the poison shot to enter my body or my daughter's. It's too late for my husband and my other daughter. In fact my entire extended family took it. I'm the only adult who didn't. They let their fear dictate their decision and it will affect them for the rest of their lives. In one year the world will be completely changed. I pray that people wake up sooner rather than later.
Oh, Karen, please continue writing and offering up your innermost thoughts. I agree with everything I've read so far. You really are an inspiration to me. Please keep doing what you are doing. I pray that God will keep his loving arms wrapped around you and your's. Thank you! Bubba Humphries
Inspiring! Chillingly prescient. On this hill I choose to make my stand. Keep the faith friends.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

As always, it’s a pleasure reading your writing. I couldn’t agree anymore with you, on all the points made. The “metaverse” reminds me of online role playing games... in fact, that’s exactly what it is on a much larger scale. Having lost someone and a marriage to that world, I refuse to let my children enter it. They will be staying in the real world with me, and unvaccinated to boot!
This piece evokes the Matrix (Which pill, Neo?). So, did we lose the magical worlds like Fez this year? Will the Agoras survive the Great Reset? The magic you describe is the essence of human-ness and it is unbearable to see it stolen. We lovers of the Divine will die on the hill rather than die in digital cages. Viva la vie!
I love your writings, what you share, and how you share it. This article I found particularly moving, since my wife and I just yesterday had watched the MEP “press conference” which was noticeably missing approx. 697 members. And yes, this courageous and sincere and forthright and brilliant woman, whom you have sourced with care and respect, placed her finger squarely on the pulse, and lifted her voice for those who would hear and entertain its meaning. And she was very right in clarifying that as long as there remains a power which believes it and it alone can GIVE one freedom, the unspoken inverse reveals this power can take freedom away. A free person is unwilling to live with this.
Thank you Karen 🙏 I have wonderful memories of Morocco we have been so Blessed 🙏 I still am in complete disbelief in my friends who are insisting on their 12 yr olds being injected so they can go on holiday and lead a normal life. Heartbreaking. The truth will set us free 🙏 along with our love for God 🙏
Thank you Karen for sharing your unique and very helpful perspective. I was deeply moved by your memories of your travels and the preciousness of gaining the wisdom of strangers. As a grandmother helping to raise the young ones, I encourage adventures in the real world like the ones you so vividly describe. Doing so keep me actively engaged too and somewhat protected from the deep despair I sometimes feel about the world right now. We were similarly inspired this week; here's my newsletter, Solace for Sensitive Souls. Keep the faith indeed! It's a hill worth dying on, IMHO
Mention of Rumi within the story and the present condition of the mass of people who have been lulled into a propaganda culturally induced trance reminded me of a Rumi quote.
"In the amplitude of God's earth why have you fallen asleep in a cage?"
Beautiful essay of your childhood memories and marvelous literary references. The Carnival of Evil has definitely come to town and has no intention of leaving. Let’s hope the forces of good and of humanity as you and Bradbury have described so well can save the town and rid us of Mr Dark and of this wickedness. Keep up the great work! Much appreciated.
Thank you Karen - this is my tonight's bedtime story - I like to read before I sleep - I feel it helps me dream - I will meditate on what you have written and savour all of the images and resonances within.
Karen: this is a great read!!!! It articulates my sentiments perfectly! All around me are people who give in. I am becoming an island. But it is an honor to stand in the doorway of freedom and shout, “not me.” This IS the hill upon which I am willing to die and I want my grandkids to understand that life is not just a series of “pleasure dots” connected by a flashy line of entertainment.
A very lovely piece, Karen. For some strange reason, millions of us have been seduced by artificial "realities", created by the socially impotent, autistic brains of the Gates and Zuckerbergs of this world. Evidently, the pain of living is such that an escape into an artificial universe of soulless automatons is "fun". I take solace in the fact that throughout history, the human spirit always wins and truth, no matter how long suppressed, comes to the surface and demolishes all lies. Much love to you and congrats on this fine piece of writing ❤️

Apparently, in Hebrew the word “Meta” is the feminine form of “is dead.”
Interesting, I didn't know that. It does apply.
Mention of Rumi within the story and the present condition of the mass of people who have been lulled into a propaganda culturally induced trance reminded me of a Rumi quote.
"In the amplitude of God's earth why have you fallen asleep in a cage?"
Rumi
And that reminded me of another Sufi quote.
"A Sufi is one who burst his cage asunder."
Inayat Khan
Which reminded me of part of a song.
"I heard some of you got your families,
Living in cages tall and cold
And some just stay there and dust away,
Past the age of old."
Up From The Skies -- Jimi Hendrix
Thank you for your writings Karen.
Beautiful
