Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

It's a gray morning and rain is supposed to arrive by noon.  We all want it to come, because we fear a climate like Capetown, South Africa, where there is no more water.  We are 60% of normal so far this year, and potential fires fan our fears.  So every dampness and cloud is encouraging.  There are always fears.  I jump from scary place to scary place, and I have to wonder if the scary movies up for Oscars are a result of a rising tide of fear.  "Get Out" is a horror movie, but so is "Three Billboards", and "Shape of Water is a remake of an old horror film, and "Phantom Thread" is the horror story of a Faustian bargain in a marriage.  If you add "Blade Runner 2049", which is up for other categories, but is future dread personified, then my mood is actually part of the geitgeist.  The horror is the new normal.
