I was alone and awake in early morning darkness, when I picked up the first reports coming in today (from two very different sources--The Drudge Report and Citizen Free Press) about the US/Israeli strike on Iran. As I read those reports, I experienced a mixture of thoughts and feelings that included a sense of resignation, uncertainty and trepidation over what was unfolding, and what was yet to come. With all of it bringing back to mind what I'd felt as I watched the incoming 2020 election results for MI stall in the middle of the night and come back in the early morning hours turned around in favor of Biden. Back then I knew at the time that something out of the ordinary had happened, but hadn't known what it was or how hugely significant whatever it was would turn out to be for the entire world. And today, with this new situation and world event unfolding, I'm once again holding all that accompanies the awareness of another significant change underway.
By the time I read the following statement by President Trump made at 3:37PM today (twelve hours after his first announcement at 2:30 AM), and came to the line, "This is the single greatest chance for the Iranian people to take back their country", I was ready to say, "Yes! I hope the Iranian people take that chance" and join President Trump in the hope that the chances being taken by all involved will, in his words, "achieve the objective of PEACE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST, AND, INDEED, THE WORLD!"
