Seize the Day!

Yup. Horace expressed it right. Not sure where I first heard it. Seize the Day! Yet today I ponder what’s left to seize?
Instead of celebrating democracy I’m cursing it.
Sure everyone has different points of view. Can’t say I can recall a leader that everyone has been happy with. We all prosper with our own points of view.
But in my circle, I’m not the only one.
Got a good chuckle when out for the evening ride. It was an impromptu meet-up. I happened to roll up on a couple gals.
“Where you going?” Glenowyn asked.
“An hour, hour and a half,” I replied.
“Come with us,” she replies.
We’re on our way to Thetis Lake using the multi-use cycling network.
Along the way the conversation soon jets to the aftermath. Kate who was new to me mumbled on that her mother was going to immigrate.
I replied with, "Where from?"
She wants to get out of Canada she replied. Go to New Zealand.
That closed in on a belly laugh for me.
Not the first time I’d heard of folks heading down, down south though.
Whatever have we become?
A Prime Minister with a handshake of a dead fish.
No semblance to life on earth other then the almighty dollar.
Seize the day?
Not a chance.
