Yesterday the winds of God were blowing strongly last night as we walked on the beach. It was wondrous how the clouds turned and the winds flowed forth from the universe pushing us along our path around the beach. We started the path with bright sun on our faces and finished it with the wind at our backs. With such power one imagines that all the world will find their path to follow the words of God - love they neighbour as theyself. We must move forward onto that higher plain of living where love predominates and cruelty disappears from our world.
Woke in the night and just felt like it was time to write about the experience walking on the beach. It was wondrous after a long heavy day working away cleaning in the kitchen and then gardening outside which all seemed like the kind of things that God would want us to do. We must follow God's teachings to have a better life for all the world.
If there is only love and not hate then this world could flourish and find paths away from destroying the world to healing the world so that the grandchildren of tomorrow will play on the beaches and run in the grassy fields breathing the fresh air of our youths.
The Premier of Manitoba, Wab Kinew, brings so much knowledge and good ideas to any discussion. I am happy to see that he and the Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith, are talking together on how to resolve differences when really it is just a desire on both of their parts to make both their provinces as effective within Confederation as possible. The discussion by the Western half of Canada on so many issues was wonderful to listen to and absorb. Thank you especially to Wab Kinew who always brings very insightful comments to any discussion.
Back to bed. I am sleepy once again.
My daughter (and caretaker) has a bit of surgery this week that will mean a quiet week to follow. She is busy with four research projects but has a student who does some of the work and the student is excellent in her work and completed the ongoing task very well. Training is very very important and one sees it most prominently in the university setting and in the health care setting. Absolutely necessary in these two areas but also in all work really (it would save time if one didn't have to be teaching all the time but the knowledge base needs to be solidified, added to and passed on). One must always be training the new co-workers so that their transition into a job is easier. One should avoid seeing them as competition but rather as a co-manager of the system that is being worked on. Those in the job for a while have good hints to offer and those who are new have newer knowledge from their more recent education to share. AI adds enormously to this task because of the memory banks and recall that AI is able to perform with perfection but does require that managerial hand to keep it on track and doing the work requested without varying from the protocol. When decisions have to be made because of ambiguity then AI must learn to immediately come back for assistance so that garbage in the output is avoided. AI can not judge well between what is pertinent and necessary and correct and what is simply a blimp to be ignored and not collected as part of the output
Haven't looked at the news for a few days other than noting what the Premier of Manitoba and the Premier of Alberta had discussed. I think the meeting of the Western Canadian premiers was an excellent idea. They share the Pacific and the Arctic Oceans and trade routes are opening up making the north so much more feasible for shipping to both Asia and Europe (why does it take so long to get shovels in the ground; pipelines built and sales booming). The Eastern part of Canada from Ontario to the Atlantic and including Nunavut (which has access to the Arctic and the Atlantic). In general the Eastern part of Canada does not have the reach to the Pacific other than by the Arctic Ocean (no ports on the Pacific). Ontario is particular, although not land-locked by any means as the St Lawrence Seaway runs along the southern border and includes the Great Lakes - Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior as well as the St Lawrence River and to the west the Ottawa River on the Eastern boundary with Quebec and in the North James Bay and Hudson Bay. The road in Ontario (417 namely (i.e. the Trans Canada Highway)) needs widening from just before Renfrew (unless they have actually moved that along - it took ten years to go from Arnprior nearly to Renfrew! not enough money provided to employ the size of workforce needed to be faster) and mostly to the Manitoba border although there are sections that have been widened. In particular the military widened the road from Pembroke to Petawawa and did a great job and speedy. I rather wonder if the money should be given to the military to do the widening of the Highway all the way to the Manitoba border personally. One could certainly ascribe military activities being enhanced by this road and they have lots of engineers and workers to build the road. I feel as if we wait forever to get that road widened to four lanes because it doesn't go to the Greater Toronto Area. The all for the Greater Toronto Area mindset must disappear from the minds of the government of Ontario in order for Ontario to flourish. All areas are important and all areas pay taxes.
Today is cleaning day and it is the top floor and I shall soon do the bathroom and then the vacuuming. The days move quickly especially in the summer months as there is so much to do both inside and out.
Solitaire games to play.
