Feeling Connected

On the other side of these walls is a brilliant day. Dappled sunlight dancing on concrete, playing along the edges of shadows cast by moonflower and morning glory vines, mesmerizing through wavering glass. And today, the luscious feeling of connection. I love the way it sneaks up unaware before immersion. I love the way I don't know if I want to laugh or cry when it hits me. I love the way it makes me recognize a particular moment of being alive.

First, the article from The Guardian. Second, a piece that took ten years to put to bed. Third, exit stage right, grinning into the light.

Chronologically Speaking

Hierarchy records the value

of existence adding significance

to the search through others vainglory

in the hope of finding, folded within

their welcome, benevolent approval.

Elicit implicit sympathy for flushed embarrassment.

Needs manifest infection which will run

its course until producing fevered responses

to synthetic stimulus

-yours or theirs?

While the really funny thing is

synchronized struggle for value and meaning

only effects chronic stasis

teaching nothing of kindness or love,

but rather reinforcing insecurities

until they twist into personality.

So much easier to simply be

wondrous beauty, this thing called life,

enthusiastically noting abundant differences

which do not reflect,

they burn brighter than the sun

offering warmth and sanctity.

Peace of mind

found within a piece of time

syncopated beating hearts,

living life in joy of breathing

and seeing through eyes free from

imagery induced cataracts.

Arms wide open for all possibilities.

The Occupy movement is spreading out across the country and our national discourse is becoming real. The Struggle for the Commons | The Nation
The question has never been about the size of government, but about the role of government. By the People, For the People. We haven't forgotten. Van Jones is bringing it home. Are you ready to RUMMMMMMMBLLLLLLLE? The man the Republicans thought they could shut down and marginalize...HaHaHaHa HA! And one last offer for late a night ponder Our Buggy Moral Code . Ciao!
