A Glance Back
Astrology
Having lived in the GMT Meridian for more than a decade there has been a lot of time to 'study', exactly how small we really are. Zoroastrians, were a religion for exactly the reason that we don't know who and what we are, they may have been a little exploitative in the message, but the message remains to be fully interpreted.
Star signs aside, I'm an Aquarius/Pisces cusp by the way, and a huge fan of Jodie Foster in 'Contact', stars are the candles that never dim, a constant energy source. 100 Million Candles.
I brought a 'friend' into the study to look at my #galaxy poster, and by accident pointed at a borealis system .. perhaps I'm thinking too much, but the only ones on any body's mind is Aurora, Australis, but the one I wanted to know about was 'Corona' Borealis, at the outset of the outbreak .. my heart sank .. my first girlfriend was from that Meridian, Guatemala. The actions weren't deliberate, or planned, but representative of the plans for the future in, maybe, our observational capabilities with regards to solar exploration.

Land Before time, the cartoon!
There are two schools of thought around the extinction of the dinosaurs; one is a giant meteor hit the earth and created an Ice Age, the second; that the cold virus did it.
I see no error in either argument about extinction level events, either way I look happily to our future and the survival of the species, I don't have any kids, nor come to think of it a wife, nor girlfriend, as anti-social as I am, however as a child I had the chance to watch 'The Land Before Time', more than once, and was very happy, and informed about the poster, and the dinosaurs, that my dad had given me.
I'm pretty sure they tried to make a remake, but in expenditure they needed to fill their budget, and it was plastic, sci-fi, less. Not educational.
I prefer the cartoon version!

'Snitch Culture' & 'Secret State' and , and Viral Preparedness
These were the selection of books that entered into higher circulation during the outbreak, speaking of 'Outbreak' also became much more fundamental to the thinking during the period 2020-2022/3.
This is not in defense of Government, however, the procedural protocols actualized in the period lived up to the higher purpose they were designed for; saving lives.
I don't even like Q-Anon, although you may, so I'm not smirking, but all too often anticipation can be mistaken for 'scheme hatchery', as 'Mallory (Comedy Series 'Archer') may say. But, according to 'The Walking Dead', and the book 'Snitch Culture' (Et.AL. Jim Redden) the borders of the US can be closed down in less than two weeks, the researcher and teams working zealously to correct what may have gone wrong, hope for the best and prepare for the worst!
Nothing to worry about!!

The Emergence of ESGs & Charities
I'd be the first to thank organizations such as UNICEF, WHO, and 'Medecins sans frontier' (MSF) and other non governmental organizations (NGOs), excuse me 'para-governmental' organizations for being everywhere at once.
I was in London in 2005, a year after the invasion of Iraq I was sent there from Boston University to SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies), when the movement for ESGs first began to appear and I accepted the notion and found sovereignty conflicts were overwhelming. After being fostered as a global concept around green tech transfer and the fear of fossil fuel depletion, the arguments began to stagnate, bordering on hostile, especially among Allies. In spite of differences, this time it was different.

Here's a list.
As the most populous Democracy on the planet #India rising; to perhaps be the most economically endeared, is not a reach of the imagination.
There were stories in the press during the pandemic that some executives were wandering into boardrooms drinking, and in a few cases on non-pharmaceuticals, I was thinking to lighten the mood! But in earnest, that's how panicked some people were.
The Aftermath
'100 million candles'; celestial bodies #coronaborealis aside, is meant to describe the sacrifices of the past three years, and not an idle comment on the stars.
The executive trying to protect their own country, India, with vaccination of the economically most vulnerable, had a tiny problem with his board in spite of the situation in hand .. as in, yeah, he tried to 'gun it' there.
2021 Brave, right(!), the SPACs were delighted, his board not so much. Basically he got fired for doing the right thing.
After that I felt out of touch, even as exhaustion touched all of them/us, I had a personal problem, and I was with the DeVere consultancy at the time #devere . However, I found myself in the fortunate position of asking a dear friend for a favor, and strangely the response came from what I thought would be 200,000 vaccines for the most vulnerable here in the United Kingdom, to 2 billion, then 3 billion vaccines, in a three day gap. We got lucky again. I hope to think we knew each other better than we thought!
Anybody that knows me knows I'm not a huge fan of medical information, invasions of privacy, and exposure to needles, but, I thought it was appropriate.

The Concept of 'Exceptionalism
The idea of unified purpose has been with us since the Olympics creating a protection and the sharing of ideas. 'Exceptionalism', I feel to mean is a time of 'once only' a time when there's a 'reason d'etre', reason to be, rather than a 'reason d'etat', a reason of state. During the #covidcrisis , watching from the bench as it were:
I felt blessed to see that to be the case, where the two are symphonic. If there were anything good to be gained it would be that, a general agreement on what was right on what had to be done.
