Days of Future Past?

"I've been thinking about our fortune,
And I've decided that we're really not to blame.
For the love that's deep inside us now
Is still the same.

And the sound we make together
Is the music to the story in your eyes.
It's been shining down upon me now
I realize.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning,
And from the ashes we can build another day.

But I'm frightened for your children,
That the life that we are living is in vain.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain.

Listen to the tide slowly turning,
Wash all our heartaches away.
We're part of the fire that is burning,
And from the ashes we can build another day.

But I'm frightened for the children
That the life that we are living is in vain.
And the sunshine we've been waiting for
Will turn to rain...

When the final line is over,
And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall,
I can hide inside your sweet, sweet, love
For ever more...”

Saw this last night on CoyotePrime's blog and a few of the lyrics seem to apply to our current situation. Hopefully the tide is slowly turn and from the ashes we can build another day. However I think for some it will call for a severe decrease in living standard and 'I'm frightened for the children'. Many of our children have had all the 'toys' their whole life and will be in shock if they don't have access to the Internet, their cellphones, Monster energy drinks ... 'And the sunshine we've been waiting for,Will turn to rain...'

Dreams postponed

It has been a month of hospital beds and wheelchairs since my motorcycle accident and I still have a long way to go. People always ask if I will ride again and I really don't know. I've owned eight motorcycles over the years (still own two) and ridden well over 60,000 miles but doing a cost benefit analysis I'm not sure the fun is worth the risk. The all-knowing Internet says it could take a year or more to return to full health IF the surgeon put me back together correctly. That year is most likely the best year of my remaining life and I hate like hell to spend it this way. At least I'm down here in NM where the sun is shining and it is 55 degrees today. :-)
