meditation and madness

 

slowly, gently,

like a meditation or guided fantasy,

take many long, deep looks at your life,

how experiences have felt, where relationships

have led, what calls to you to complete or

begin, what has meaning, what feels good,

where does your mind go when you go to a

place of escape and restoration. 

Now, read some good science fiction and

think about how a future could be created.

 

 

 

tolerating is not the same as condoning

or encouraging or embracing -- it is just

admitting the reality of what is in our

world and figuring out how to deal with

that without violence

 

 

 

 

Why do we obfuscate our common rules

in elite jargon, legalese, when rationally

what we need is profound fairness of

clarity?

 

 

 

I think the emphasis on competition

as we grow and learn how to navigate

the social world would cause many to feel

resentful of any perceived advantage to

those we see in competition with us

for the good stuff.

 

 

 

 

So many seem to prefer a loathsome view

of humanity, warring savage slaves to greed

and casual meanness. 

I tend to say:  All people suck. 

But, not all the time and some more than others. 

There is that but that can encompass great

kindness, opening to lively adventure based on

joyful celebration of our communion. 

What empowers the positive regard, uplifting,

diminishes the cruel and mean?

 

 

 

 

why do so many people hate their lives so much

and refuse to make them better

instead sending their hate outward?

 

 

 

 

when Earth no longer sustains human life,

what are you going to buy/who are you going

to rule/where are you going to be?

 

 

 

Stop encouraging those working to oppose

our essential values.  Stop acting like their

work is of value to our world.

 

 

 

Cowardly lazy liars

to convince themselves

they are the virtuous
