Better a Democratic
Socialist than a National
Socialist – and best no ist
at all.
No nationality
No ethnicity
Within the Universe –
Me
In this time when we can’t
trust what
we’re told/shown, we each
have the
responsibility for our own
reality.
Choose well.
Your people, their people –
I have no
people, no ancestral family
or home.
There are most likely more
of we who
have no foundation of
enmity to weigh
us down than people stuck
on such
fantasies that drain their
potential lives.
Caught up in the drama of
vaccination
and other Covid
issues?
Not to worry.
Soon enough accelerating
ravages of
Climate Change will destroy
us all.
Perhaps it isn’t
selfishness or greed,
but early now subconscious
scripts of
shame that form a sort of
trance necessity
to achieve a specific kind
of success.
It would be natural to feel
antipathy toward
competitors, but we all
understand that is
part of our challenge.
Much more must they
hate people with different
values, who are not,
therefore, bound up in the
game except
the ways they devise to
entrap, to punish them
for their
noncompliance.
What brings people to blindly give up
their lives to others' ambitions? Political
parties were not meant to be part of this
nation. We were meant to rule ourselves
through discussion, debate, common enterprise
for common good as active citizens. Did we get
too lazy, too overwhelmed, too busy, too
undereducated, too apathetic, too ill?
Apocalyptic thinking:
We’re all gonna die --
so go out enacting your
fantasy.
Is the point to feel
superior, or gain support?
Doesn't anybody get that
our government
isn't them, but us. Of
course since we insist
on being adversarial rather
than corrective
we abdicate our rule to
them.
You have all these desires
from our social network
(society) -- so get out
there and insist on them
by doing the actual
work.
It has occurred to me that
all these
paranoidconspiracy ideas we
circulate,
even if there is some truth to them, is
horribly counterproductive to having the
world we say
we want when we decry
"conspiracies" "government"
"media" -- big
bad powers we can't fight so why fight
so
don't blame me, there's nothing I can do.
Not
enough truth and perspective in the news?
Put it there -- if not
little unskilled you, get
together with others, our own
conspiracy for
truth, justice, Earth, us. If your elected
government does not adequately represent you,
support
representatives who do, even run
for office or get involved
with campaigns for
your issues, and keep those letters,
phone calls,
letters to the editors, speeches in public forums,
whatever art you can create, whatever friendship
chains
you can be part of (and a sideeffect of
destroying the
curse of loneliness) – complaining
doesn't make the changes we
want to see,
actual work does.
it is terrible how often
kids get yelled at instead of
clearly and compassionately
explained to, made to
feel bad rather than
getting educated
They say "two Americas. (I
say probably more like
300 million Americas.)But,
yeah, legacy of the Civil
War, the Great Secession, not
because they're racist
-- it's much deeper.
They are anti-nationalist,
anti-social -- why they
choose to live in sparsely populated rural
places and
speak ill of city folks.
They would so much rather
destroy us all, secede,
break away, than figure out how to be a
part of a
world beyond their control.
a full-on loving
hug
on a sunny day, running
into
exhilarating
wind,
finding epiphany in
synchronicity,
touching phrases so
lyrical,
rhythms that spin me into
ecstatic
quiescence, quiet blessings
of
beauty, grace,
belonging:
Enjoy
