The Woman whose skin is a radar map of storms

words always castrating, vials of estrus bile, dripping deceptively blistered from
unknown thunder, engagements
Leaving the GPS where even the desert fathers
would be lost for over 30 days and nights wondering where all the hissing came from;
nights of too many black dahlias
and not enough promise of spring bouquets,
can the dancers around the maypole
dress your wounds and take away your Mack 10
mouth;
Your madness has reached around the four corners
and tasted your latest batch
of hops and herbs, a kettle stirred by
the blackest mamba with so many forks
in its weathered and veined tail,
listen
psychopathic liars

dedicated to Crystal and Ch/Kristine and Robert Cloud and Mark Kachel (very evil people)

Awareness...

Daily thoughts,

Maintain awareness
Notice and name the thoughts and feelings
Try not to identify with them

Visualize being in a meadow and repeat this affirmation:

I am centered in awareness and listening within. (I am a vessel for God (a godhead) to work through me. I do not petition God for selfish reasons)

From National Geographic

Nearly 70% of the world's fresh water is locked in ice. Most of the rest is in aquifers that were draining much more quickly than the natural recharge rate. Two-thirds of our water is used to grow food. With 83 million more people on Earth each year, water demand will keep going up unless we change how we use it.

Americans use about 100 gallons of water at home each day. Millions of the world's poorest subsist on fewer than five gallons. 46 percent of people on earth do not have water piped to their homes. Women in developing countries walk an average of 3.7 miles to get water. In 15 years, 1.8 billion people will live in regions of severe water scarcity.

One out of eight people lacks access to clean water. 3.3 million die from water-related health problems each year. Washing hands with soap can reduce diarrheal disease by 45%. An eradication campaign that includes a simple water filter has cut the number of Guinea worm cases by 99.9% since 1986.

Support Elizabeth Warren!!

She is the politically savvy watchdog trying to save us from another devastating meltdown coming. She has Obama's ear and is trying to pass necessary safeguarding legislation to regulate our psychotic financial system and banks. The Republicans are busy trying to attack her. Stand behind the CFPA.

Thoughts on current events...and their stupidity*

I take issue with narcisism and vanity and human evil. *Stupidity can only result from such viewpoints and manipulations in support of such insecurities.

Inflicting pain to be cruel for the sake of fun and selfish reasons, lowers one to the state of nothing other than stupidity in lower brain functions. Those who jump on board with these ideas to perpetuate them as a master planner uses hapless fools to further their cruel (stupid) agendas takes humanity down to its basest levels (ie., Ch/ristina, a certain org. which must remain unnameable, Crystal, Robert, and George W. Bush) to create a game of isolating the person unwilling to get involved on a narcisistic and therefore senseless level. It is a good thing to warn other's of such manipulative peoples. They like playing rats.

Those that are afraid of the evil and lies they have committed therefore choose bombardment of threats and shift truth of their lying to how cruel one is (to point this out in them) and by never admitting their guilt in the face of questions asked, therefore sidestepping any responsibility. The sound and fury used to overwhelm the sincere person questioning their lies and lack of responsibility becomes a stupid weapon and any basic level of intelligence will see through this disguise (ie., lies and turning truthfully asked questions into an idea of persecution as witnessed by Jim's and Patrick's behavior).

After viewing a doc., "Favela Rising", about change in the favelas...

The message continues, Peace and Teamwork--keep the music and beat going within us all. Our actions have infinite effects ...

Love to personal and world consciousness, all our hearts are beating together

End war and develop peace in our future...

We must dismantle the military industrial complex to re route funding for other needs. This is the best way to end the senseless and ceaseless war in Afghanistan and could have eliminated the Vietnam war. To this day I wonder why JFK (who was against the Vietnam war) was assassinated and why LBJ who escalated the war was left alone in his "great society".

Vitam Impendere Vero

Capital can not be left to the ruling capitalists as we've seen as they do not know how to handle it. It must be left to the poor and middle class. This flies in the face of the rich getting socialism and poor getting capitalism.

A Tesseract's Wings

Seeing built out of long river bends
A hypercube bursting out of being
Embracing charred reflections
Burned from red and blue impressions
A child accidentally realizing a butterflies' mortality
Adult's hands of stretched and torn repeated mirroring
...an assembly of mysterious yellow rejections
Built from faulty traditions...beheading rotten
statues of times without honor

Canceling credit for seven generations
Smashing crystal balls into feathered headbands
Rowing a rocket into a random and senseless universe,
God doesn't make the world this way--
We do. Can we all have spent time as whores
in weird and golden lives?
Did we look into microscopes of our old photographs
of stardust after their anticlimactic reports?
Finding a muse with prism x-ray visions
Perceiving time's loving abstractions;
Don't let her slip away,
My sweet I promise you emeralds in May,
Keep the love seat a warming testimonial,
a caress of your neck in honest prayer--
I'll be there in 5...

...trodden and bleeding blindness
stigmata to stamp a dreamer to death
unless he becomes a butterfly fast
without rest.
There is only a danger in false reflections,
Pools governed by Pilate's secret police~
Pretending without listening, their cruelest punchline...
Does it feel lonely?
We can only defy lethargic laws of entropy,
Jumping off a cliff to save our lives;
Society's velvet fool with a most benevolent smile
Garnering hopeful release
...dancing to "Indian Summer Sky"

Hopeful evolutionary leap...

What are the roots of human evil? Vanity and ego and what they do with power and its misuse and 'mammon'. Therefore greed and ownership (to excess) are truly an absurd notion. Once we let go of unnecessary perceived notions of ownership and prescribing to selfish rugged individualistic notions, then we can have community and work as a TEAM. This is a key notion to understand. Our country has proven that Kleptocracies* and Plutonomies* will only benefit a tiny percentage at the TOP. Do not allow group denial of this situation to permeate one's thinking; it will eventually ruin most people's futures. This includes the future of your country. Well regulated capitalism (remember Mr. Nader, Dr. Stieglitz, Adam Smith, etc.)works, but requires transparency and control of our financial insitutions as they have proven that greed rules all of their thinking and will put us right back into a serious financial bubble like the one we are back in. We need to rebuild the middle class and the blue collar class, our main tax base.

Move to amend unlimited funding for corporations and lobby groups to buy our future politicians and therefore laws as well. This is a serious danger to everyone! Repeal NAFTA. The World Bank utterly revised, same with the IMF.

Manufacturing consent will teach you only about consumption and egoistic self-centeredness; we really can live more simply and with less--let's allow other countries to have food, water, essentials and more as well. Let's get collectives and co-ops going; give tax incentives to businesses and organizations that give back to the community. EGO must be put continually in check in order for such a thing to happen. Racism, sexism, hate crimes, targeting of people or groups will diminish and people will become more accepting of differences and more connected. Be prepared for egoistic people to resist this for a while, maybe quite a while. There were native cultures, etc. that succeeded on this level until Europeans and early Americans enslaved and wiped them out.

Our country is still quite decadent in its attitudes, the "have's" feeling they have entitlement to so much, while everyone else so little... (This includes U.S. citizens, so many citizens of other countries, sweatshop workers, those trapped in servitude, slavery and the sex trade, etc.). Look at the negative, even sociopathic behavior of our CEO's.

Consumerism is consuming us mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Ownership is necessary for essential items, sustainable healthy crops and foods, and some fun earned items desired; sharing is useful for most other things. Continual accumulation of "stuff" does not lead to happiness. It only feeds negative, addictive habit patterns. How do we each take steps to throw off this yoke of social engineering of "selfishness" that tells us how we should covet and remain divided from our neighbors. Unplug ridiculous walkmans and MP3 players and smart phones and such gadget garbage that causes greater forms of separation. How do we self educate and communicate beyond prescribed agendas by our lacking education centers rooted in old models? That answer is inate and requires we learn outside the box to a degree. Look within. Get creative. We support each other's strengths and build each other's weaknesses into strengths. This is team work supporting each other in the growing process. We are allowed to make mistakes; this compassionate and more relaxed approach can build confidence and relax the mind/heart to become more effective in its creative and critical thought processes. Search out people in your organizations, community who will work with these ideas and try to grow this network. Allow workers part of the stock of the company; upper management needs to communicate sincere interest in their lives and work. It will perhaps be a slow process in the beginning, for a while. Yes it will take some time. Old habits and power niches take time to undo. There are techniques for retraining the mind for this. I know from personal experience.

Ownership is an outdated, false notion when taken to our extremes. As long as we support that thinking (as well as others, we can help change that by example)--there will be endless crimes, wars, incarcerations, terrorism, etc. If you want to hoard, there will always be BIGGER fishes waiting to gobble you up!

Think about what it is you really want out of life and feel you need to own? And do you want to be socially engineered into fearful, complacent corporate drones (not to mention manipulating each other for limited power niches) as we head into fascism/authoritarianism in the U.S. Think again...it is your own ability to control your own thoughts no one else can control that will be your real place of power (opening your heart I've found is the greatest source of power I know of) from which we can work toward common, TEAM-oriented goals. Much less disparity and bureaucratic levels financially and of power. As a team worker this means also allowing individual creativity blended with eliminating egoism. Believe it free thinking will prevail and self-motivation will be enhanced. The other capitalism we have witnessed will eat itself and destroy its people as we've seen and can well predict.

*read "Germs, Guns and Steel" by Jared Diamond. Other books explore this as well.
