science, religion and politics seem destined to mimic the beauty and diversification of nature as close as humanly possible. With that as our mindset we can employ our masses with dignity and hope. Our goals are simple. A dignified access to 1.5 gallons water, 2,000 nutritional calories, 200 cubic feet secure tenure to individuals as they exist within a shared environment.
hope.......

gtude4,
ReplyDeleteWhen it feels right, do it?
we often choose not to fee,l or we feel so much and get confused. we act out mindless response to limited choices, green or red, hard or soft, black or white, male or female, stop/go, fast/slow..
.... and forget to step back and remember we have all we need. the choices few when things really matter.

it costs something to feel. but more not to.
ReplyDeleteto feel for the aching of us on the planet,to look to the upward cycles of all life. to hope for a simple process that will just bring clean water to all. one long pipeline to africa.
emotion is energy in motion. so, lets dream and do what we can each day in our own lives. the two can meet in the timeline that is just a circle anyway, or maybe, a point of combustion.
we can't always get what we want, but if we try sometime , we just might find....
ReplyDeletelove
ReplyDeletei can think of no better place to post this comment on love than beneath the purple starfish that has so caught my fancy.
today we have given a voice to the rights of gay persons to marry.or rather, Judge Walker has given them a voice again. it is, after all, all about love. who can say who should or who should not love? and who should not be able to portray that in any manner of ceremony one wishes? and, have we not outgrown the time of unequal gender bias which seemed to go along with marriage up until the time i came of age?
do we as a society have a right to limit love and commitment? i think not. i have always held marriage as a sacred commitment, and as such, applaud anyone who enters into it. i do not hold myself by sexual preference above any other human on the planet. after all, i was born this way and had no say in it at all.
it is time for the Star on Star off machine of Dr. Seuss's imagination to go to work until we are all so confused that we no longer point to the Stars'upon Thars' that gave his little creatures such pompous righteous indignation. Enough already. Let's look at our differences with joy.
