    … our Argentine giant cactus bloomed a couple of days ago and the blooms were especially beautiful this year. They began opening up late afternoon and continued all night … the next morning they still showed a lot of beauty, but by mid-day they were closing and last night closed and wilting. The blooms are at their peak at night and serve as a magnet for the bats and moths that pollinate them … what creature could resist beauty like this … none.

    A quiet day with much accomplished … I flew yesterday and again tomorrow morning and it is like being home once I leave the ground. A lot of dust and stuff in the air, so no photos, but a great deal of cranking and banking. There were active thermals by 9AM … not too strong and pretty tight, but they were there.

    I hope that your Memorial Day weekend was everything you hoped for … next year we will celebrate and remember the fallen again as that is the nature of annual holidays … try to sneak a little remembrance and prayer in once in a while during the year too … every day we enjoy our freedom is another day bought and paid for by those who serve, served and those who have fallen while serving … and the future is assured because every day others are hearing the call and replenishing the ranks of our military. It would be nice if this was not necessary, but human beings are human beings and conflict will always be with us.

    Have a beautiful day … keep breathing … keep smiling.

    So each one to his wish, and as for me,
    I sit tonight and wait
    In slumb’rous moonlight late,
    To feel the freedom of the world in me
    Like waves of a shoreless sea.
    — Max Ehrmann

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
