What an enjoyable activity artwork is. I am, I grow. I turn my leaves towards the sun.

Climate change is real. It’s stormy weather. Just goes to show you don’t hear what you don’t want to hear. It reduces my little problems to insignificance.

here’s a  revolutionary thought

governments provide enlightened benevolence for all.

like  daily personal hygiene, or the taboo against canabalism

when the expectation becomes more or less universal surely it will be fulfilled.

sweet potato plant

is my sensei of being

rooted and simple

it costs nothing to open your  fist back into a useful hand.. if you  are carrying a heavy suitcase, and are tired of its downward pull, the easiest thing to do is put it down. unclench your fingers one by one. anger and retribution are just like that heavy suitcase. don’t look for someone else to take up your burden. just put it down yourself. if you do so and leave it be, anger evaporates unattended.

My monkey mind is tired,. it sure does take a lot to make it that way. This is not always to my benefit. Elephant mind is rarely tired.

instead of being s certain of your place in the world, especially if it is maintained by someone else’s suffering, wake up to that suffering and take action to lessen the amount of pain in the world.  Listen, and talk with your heart, and not just your mouth. Listen and don’t just wait for your turn to talk. Take a break from being right, or status conscious, or the chasing of material things. Be fair and decent and experience how real that feels.

my circumstances are in a shambles, and i was the one who made it this way. playing catch up is exhausting, as is adulting consistently. stability and survival can be hard to maintain. not my strong suit in life so far.

i have to friends one i used to work with and the othr a high school pal who are now deceased, but thier birthday reminders still come up on facebook. a soft memorial.

I was talking to some friends about climate change, and some possible tangible solutions, and my suggetions were dismissed as being too exprnsive. When it comes to species survival projects “ costs too much “ should not even be a consideration. Money is the illusion. It is fleeting, backed by nothing. Non-survival for our species i a much more permanent matter. Let no barrier as flimsey as human greed, and false perception of a shortage of resources get in the way of doing what is right. The most important thing is to give our children, and their inheritors a beautiful wholesome world to live in. Not Dystopia.

Thinking of forgiveness, what are you giving for? Mostly for your own benefit Forgiveness lightens the spirit, and deceases the amount of anger manifested in the world. It really is divine, if you think the divine is the wellspring of mercy, Love and Compassion. The more you do it the easier it becomes until it is almost un-needed.

That giving feeling is the best feeling. I gave little tokens of appreciation to the hospital staff who have taken good care of me. I am very satisfied with their customer service, and I wanted to tangibly show them how much. What a kick!!!

It does not pay to worry and fret. It pays to keep your eyes and heart open, and be present and ready to what is happening. Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and feed ‘em to the fishe. Put cement galoshes on anxiety. Be ruthless.

Hope is imortal. Hope is eternal, and as what is written on the gates of hell, abandon ye hope all who enter here. That’s pithy wisdom. without hope you make a special little hell for yourself,. It props up a shitty staus quo. Cherish hope, never relinquish it.

There is a secret martial art called Dickkido, the way of the dick. The US since its inception has been a fecund place for practitioners of the Art, as the real story of our history plainly shows. As Edward Snowden plainly showed us. As our status as the world’s fueler of large armed conflict plainly makes us. The grand Masters of dickkido have become bolder because the success of their agenda has made them arrogant. President Trump is a product of generations of exploitation philosophy, and rapist-pirate liar best practice. A flower of Dickkido.

I am always struggling in a pursuit for freshness. Seeing the world anew. Sloughing the weight of the past. It always comes back. it always comes back.

Time takes its time. You can get used to anything. You don’t notice the house falling down if its slow enough. You don’t care if the bathwater is cooking you if you have been cold for so long.

If the most important legacy is leaving the world a better place than when you came into it, I think a lot of us are falling down on the job. There’s a lot of catching up to do.

The question is how do we make our communities better, the quality of our citizens more admirable. With greed as our guiding principle we will reap a false sense of accomplishment and larger class division. Greed cuts both ways more for me and also what I can keep out of your hands too. Better fairness than greed.

When it is dark and silent I am bright inside. I am never alone, although sometimes I feel lonely and really think I need a hug. But I don’t. I am warm enough.

All we want is shelter from the storm. Science is shelter. Mercy is shelter. Cooperation is shelter. The storm are the four horsemen. We need shelter because we are all fragile.

In this republic of the united states of america, we get the right to vote tomorrow for governors, representatives senators, and misc. local elections. If you are aghast at what has transpired since the last general elections, I hope you are prepared to vote in elected officials with other agendas. Did you encourage others to vote? offer rides to polling places? Give your employees a break to go vote? Voting is the bedrock of American democratic renewal. Let’s focus on keeping our elections clean and fair.

Love is always wise, Hate is always foolish. Show yourself some love first. You deserve it, the only reason you think you don’t is because someone cruel told you the lie that you are unworthy to further their own agenda at the expense of your own. we are all entitled to get love.

Nothing like a Hospital stay to show you who your true friends are. When in crisis people really rally around. 

I had a significant power dream last night. I fully manifested my Astral body, and journeyed to the world tree. We communed, and I was the tree and the tree wa me. Lightning was coursing thru my body and my aura poked out of the atmosphere.

Angling for a better view I closed my eyes, and  darkness opened up.

We Humans are so contentious, how did we ever build a Civilization in the first place? We can’t build something without knocking something over. We should start by not knocking each other down.

 Basic Human rights for all. No one should be considered sub-human. Oh? you think you are not considered Livestock by someone far up in the social hierarchy? It is not right.

Food forThought, 

Awaken and shake the dreams from your Hair, catch them up and let them live. We can take our inspiration from other places besides the brutal natural world.

I am so glad I have exercised my imagination often and vigorously, in fact it takes me places no one has gone before, and I have made things entirely new. so welcome. so rare.

Living simply has the advantage of reducing self-importance. Basics and Fundamentals can be focused on. There are plenty of simple pleasures

How many days can you go without saying more than a hundred words a day? How many days can you go without asserting your status or ego? How many days can you go without criticizing anyone? The greater the number the better person you are, being humble, silent, and compassionate in your thoughts words and deeds.

Honesty versus kindness; honesty when asked for, but kindness be the default stance. Honesty will come what may, kindness needs spreading, and in doing so the world is made a better place.
