I for one disavow all belief in viruses. Viruses were invented to change the direction of medicine back in the late 1800's into a "fear first" system based on the fear of death from this disease or that. Without the fear factor, modern medicine falls flat on its face. There would be fewer takers.

Lat week I was vacationing on a smaller lake where all kinds of boating was allowed. We noticed a pair of beautiful white swans the first day at one end of the lake. The next day, we noticed they were towing around 8 babies that were quite grown, but they stayed mostly at one end of the lake and then occasionally ventured to a weedy section across from our dock despite the boating activity during most of the day.

The next day, we saw two more white swans at the far end but no more babies. As the day went on, the first pair of swans started coming across the lake with their 8 kids in tow and proceeded to pass directly in front of our dock on their way towards the other end of the lake. Despite the boats and kayaks, this group proceeded fearlessly as if they owned the lake. It was amazing. Perhaps that is what we must do...proceed fearlessly despite the tyranny that surrounds us.
