A Good Carrot
I have a hard time summoning up the requisite courage to go out into the world these days. Each day that passes seems to be more deranged and twisted than the day before. In 2021, are you still reaching for the government carrot on a stick? It’s always so close, isn’t it? Believing the newspeak as they change their story each week to keep you reaching for your release in vain. Pssst… There is no carrot – there is only a big stick.
In this absurd drama playing out on a self-reinforcing feedback loop I feel more and more like the hunted. I have to search for places to shop that won’t treat me like a “killer”. That won’t kick me out for showing my face. Remember, these are rules, suggestions, or mandates that are not actual laws but are driven by technocrats, politicians, media agents, health “experts”, and minions. As a consequence, I am made to feel quite vulnerable simply because I choose to walk in health and stay grounded to actual reality. That is another way of saying – I can neither condone nor support this pandemic lie.
A “Good” Carrot
We are a year into this police state with no end in sight. None of us can accurately read another person’s intentions or mood anymore. When confronted with a sea of masked faces that appear confused, controlled, suspicious and afraid… One can only weep at what people will accept next. In this environment, I am “naked” and exposed. The deformed faces with defeat in their eyes peer out at me and can still read me like an open book; it exhausts me wondering how far they will go in their misplaced judgments.
But something good and unexpected happened the other day – I met an angel in the produce section at our local Good Earth grocery store.
It was a very simple interaction. She came seeking carrots as I was standing there in the produce section picking through the broccoli. As she wondered out loud where the “good” carrots were located I quickly pointed to where they were, looking so orange and delicious, on the top shelf. “Thank you’s” were voiced and that was that. A few minutes later she came back to where I was standing and gently touched my arm and thanked me again for my kindness. I didn’t think my actions were anything special… my thought was that it was more a reflection of the kindness she showed to me. Normally, people avoid me and keep their distance. Why? Keep reading…
The Christmas Elf
In that instant my body relaxed – a normal genuine human interaction had just taken place. It was wonderful. We said goodbye again and moved on. I don’t know what moved her to do this but she sought me out one more time and gave me one of those delicious carrots and a yummy fizzy drink – just gave it to me! I was overwhelmed by her loving gesture… and my eyes welled up. Seeing my response she removed her mask and explained she only wears it because she works with the elderly. We hugged and I let my tears fall, I couldn’t help it, I just cried on her shoulder and stayed there for probably too long. How did she know? Did she see my heart and all its sadness in my smile? Did she recognize our kinship of Light?
Again, we said goodbye and shared our names and she said she would pray for me and we went our separate ways. Shortly afterwards, a young woman that worked at the grocery that was dressed in a festive elf costume walked over and asked if my name was Erin. I said “yes” and she handed me a piece of paper and said, “Angela asked me to give this to you – her name and number”. Surprised and feeling so incredibly blessed I took the note and put it in my pocket. I had the thought of giving Angela my business card earlier but I was so locked in the grace of the moment that I let the idea slip away.
It Does Matter
Honestly, I was dreading going out – and I think everyone reading this can relate. In fact, we were supposed to have done the shopping a day earlier. Everything… everything for a reason. Finding the strength to get out of bed, let alone stand up to all of this nonsense, is taking its toll. Not just for me but for every person I see trying to find their way through this mess. I wonder if I am having an impact or are all of my actions useless – my writing, my “disobedience”, my fierce determination to see the Truth spoken. Today I learned it does matter. Everything we do in life matters.

I also want to give a much deserved shout out to Good Earth! The staff at their Riverdale store are such excellent people. They are kindhearted, respectful, and helpful. They have not forgotten how to be decent human beings. We appreciate you!
There is one very special person I have not mentioned in this story. He is always right there – ready, willing and able to stand tall in the face of adversity. I couldn’t do this if it wasn’t for him – my husband. It is together that we will face the journey ahead and I count my many blessings as we gird ourselves to face 2021. I do have to thank the pandemic for one thing – and that is for bringing some wonderful people into our life. Now is the time to reach out and support those “of a feather” for it is sure to be another rough year ahead.
2020+1
Here’s to 2021 – certainly another year of struggle but also of rebirth and regeneration! The heavens have proclaimed it! We are all just diamonds in the rough and under this extreme pressure we will either be squeezed to perfection or pulverized. So, stop chasing the carrot on that stick and give it a carrot-y chop. Take your life back! I pray we all find our way to the other side of this in better spiritual shape than when we first began this journey. Peace and Love to all…
I am so glad you walked into our store that day. Thank you! You make my day when you come in.
Many blessings to you and Good Earth! Always awesome to see you and chat. Everyone there functions on a higher frequency. Hopefully, we’ll be able to listen to some fine Bluegrass music soon!
That was a very uplifting story. I was just reading about how our guardian angels come to help us in our time of need. Dare I ask, could it be? Alright, angels don’t have phones but that was certainly an angelic encounter by somebody named Angel(a). God does know our needs and gives us mercy and love always. Love You.
That is exactly what I was thinking because I had been asking for help. Angela told me she hadn’t planned on making that stop – it was a last minute decision. There is still beauty in the world. Love you!
I thank God for that kind woman. I love you.
I have been thinking about you so much! Miss you and look forward to figuring out a visit come Spring 🙂
