We got to be together
Got to hold together
We got to be together
Together we'll build a higher Love
fucking born ready.
I feel like I'm carrying more than I ever have before in my life. The purest feeling I've ever experienced
I've been 'grounding' energy on the daily.
If I'm honest, I thought it was a purely personal experience in meditation but I know it's more than that.
It can be extremely overwhelming.
I've been trying to explain this to spouseanon but there are no words to explain it.
Somehow there is a connection between energy and emotion.
The stronger the 'current' the more overwhelming the 'wave' of emotion that comes with it. Sometimes it just has to be 'poured out'
I don't know how else to explain it. It's like a well that if you don't ground it, it overflows and it's mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausting.
SAN ANTONIO – A man who opened fire from a highway ramp and then at the San Antonio Airport was shot and killed by a park police officer at the airport on Thursday.
San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the man drove into the airport terminal going the wrong way at about 2:30 p.m. A park police officer who was working overtime at the airport confronted the man who immediately got out of his car and opened fire at the officer and the building, McManus said.
The officer returned fire and incapacitated the shooter.
The police chief credited the officer’s quick actions with saving lives.
“(The shooter) had a lot of ammunition and was shooting indiscriminately,” McManus said. “We’re lucky today not to have a lot of people injured or killed during this event.”
McManus said police were familiar with the man because of previous interactions and said the man had “mental issues.”
The suspect was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An FBI spokesperson on the scene said the incident would be handled by police as a local investigation and said there was no federal connection at this point.
Two people were taken to the hospital for injuries suffered during the incident at the airport. One person may have been hit by shrapnel during the shooting, while a second person was injured while running away from the area during the gunfire, McManus said.
Earlier on Thursday, a shooter opened fire from a flyover overpass at Highway 281 and Loop 1604. Nobody was injured in that incident. McManus said they were confident that shooter was the same person in both cases.
An airport spokesperson said the FAA put a hold on arrivals and departures immediately following the shooting at the airport, but said the hold has been lifted shortly after the shooting. All operations were returned to normal before 6 p.m.

HONOLULU — The U.S. Navy sailor who shot and killed himself at a luxury Hawaii resort was assigned to the Naval Submarine Support Center in Pearl Harbor.
Lt. Cmdr. Russell Cruz, 40, of New York, died from a self-inflected gunshot wound in a room at the Kahala Hotel & Resort after a standoff with Honolulu police over the weekend.
About 100 people were ushered into a ballroom for hours while Cruz remained barricaded in a fourth-floor room. Police said he fired through the door multiple times. No one else was injured.
The Navy released details about his identity Wednesday. The Honolulu Medical Examiner’s office released his name on Monday.
The center he was assigned to provides operational support for Pearl Harbor homeported submarines, their crews, families and staff of Submarine Squadrons One and Seven.
“Every member of our Navy team is important; this is a painful time for our local community and the U.S. Navy,” said a statement from Cmdr. Cindy Fields, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Pacific Fleet submarine force.
Cruz was a Navy supply officer and a submarine warfare qualified officer, Fields said.
According to his bio, he enlisted in 2001.

“The nuclear disaster in Palomares caused untold suffering and harm to the servicemembers sent in to clean up radioactive material without adequate protective gear or warning of severe health risks,” Blumenthal said in a statement. “Yet fifty-five years on, the VA still hasn’t recognized radiation risks at Palomares, cutting off benefits and health care for these deserving veterans.”
On Jan. 17, 1966, a U.S. B-52 bomber and a refueling plane crashed into each other during a refueling operation near the southern Spanish village of Palomares, killing seven of 11 crew members but no one on the ground. At the time, the U.S. was keeping nuclear-armed warplanes in the air near the Soviet border as the Cold War was in full swing.
The midair collision resulted in the release of four U.S. hydrogen bombs. None of the bombs exploded, but the plutonium-filled detonators on two went off, scattering 7 pounds (3 kilograms) of highly radioactive plutonium 239 across the landscape. It’s been called the worst radiation accident in U.S. history.
About 1,600 servicemen were sent to the crash site area to recover the weapons and clean up the contamination. They were exposed to dangerous levels of radiation daily for weeks or months at a time, and later developed various forms of cancer, blood disorders, heart and lung dysfunction and other sicknesses, according to a class-action lawsuit against the VA by veterans denied benefits.
The VA denied them disability benefits based on radiation exposure estimates compiled by the Air Force. Although most of the military members in Palomares provided urine samples for testing in 1966, Air Force officials did not use 98 percent of those test results and relied on samples provided later, leading to inaccurate estimates of the radiation exposure that likely were much lower than they really were, according to Yale Law School students representing veterans in the lawsuit.
