Make Clock Changes "50/50" Again?
We are just 2 weeks removed from Daylight Savings Time as this strategy will resume on March 13, 2022 as majority of the United States as well as certain countries are back on Standard Time for 4 1/2 months. as of March 2021, the uproar of clock changes continue to escalate as majority of America's states are looking into either observe Standard Time or Daylight Savings Time (or DST) on a permanent basis. both of these rules do seem to have both pros and cons, but having independent rules would be damaging as if the states was to choose either rule, the sun will rise a little too early or later. Here is the reason the clock changes exist and why congress should revert back to the old Daylight Savings Time rule from 1955 to 1986 (with exemption of 1974-75).

Grizzly Encounter
My ex and I were out for an afternoon hike up Stony Creek, a place we had never been before in all our exploring of the spectacular trails around our home. We had the truck with us and we had been going to just 4x4 it. However, we ran into some eroding, gravel cut banks and other sketchy features of the trail and we decided that it was best to park the vehicle and continue on foot.

Why the harvest time equinox doesn't fall around the same time each year
Equinoxes are not day-long events, even though many choose to celebrate all day. Instead, they occur at the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator – the imaginary line in the sky above Earth's Equator. At this instant, Earth's rotational axis is neither tilted away from nor towards the Sun.

The World Is Burning and We're Sitting Back and Ignoring it
Global warming is out of control. The world is burning in front of our eyes. And we're doing nothing about it. Mother nature has had enough. She's tired of us using and abusing the planet. She's trying to kill all. I mean, earth would be better off without us.

The Garden
As I walked into the forest, there was a stone doorway. It was very elaborately made and looked as if you touched it, it would fall apart. As I walked through this beautiful doorway, I saw and smelled the most beautiful world imaginable! I smelled Honeysuckle, Lilac, Lavender, Roses and Gardenia. It was heavenly! And they were the most brilliantly, vivid colors I had ever seen! The sun was shining bright and there was a slight cool breeze carrying the scents to me. I bent over to smell a beautiful, deep red rose and it seemed to shy away from me, as if scared. "What' wrong", I asked. The little rose raised it's head a little and replied, "I was afraid that you wanted to pick me. And then I would die"

Imagination and the Mystical Experience
I do not know at what age I began using my imagination to help me understand life, yet by age 8 it had become a natural relationship. Nature itself became a place of solace and learning where my imagination could thrive and mystical experiences could be observed daily. It seems natural when I look back over my life now. It seems natural that our world could share with us in countless ways through all the creation that lives and breathes here with us.
