Dedicated to Bobby Jones ... a true friend, not only in times of need ... always a smile, a kind word ... every step of the way .... >>> WE LOVE YOU BOBBY <<< <<>> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> <<>> A bird with one wing only never will fly . . . One wing broken -- one strong, she only will fly in circles . . . if at all . . . Two strong wings working together -- supporting healthy body whole -- this bird will rise and fly free!!! <<>> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> <<>> |

The Great American Dream only will thrive in grounds
of flexibility and change -- not stagnant solutions
and patented mandates confining imagination/
creativity -- binding spirit/soul in oppressive
thickets and bogs of excessive self-interest
where lifewinds/waters cannot freely flow.
The whole earth is in motion. How can we be otherwise?!
More upheaval is pending: hurricanes, tornadoes,
floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, fires, earthquakes
{{who needs war?!}} -- its all coming on strong!!
Why hold on to what is passing
building lives around dreams that will wash
with outbound tides -- sooner than later?
Better work to accommodate vital needs in changing times!

As children of life, we owe each other the benefit of mutual respect across the cultural spectrum -- whether or not it seems to be deserved -- whether or not we share the same views, heritage, or lifestyle. No one of us is qualified to judge, condemn or punish another. The heart of each person hears the Voice of Creation uniquely, in the privacy of unspoken inner space. No one has the right -- nor do we have the wherewithal to mandate the meaning of that voice for others. Can we transcend bipartisan bickering -- cultivate common ground -- focus on the whole spectrum of life/health dynamics? Targeting and demonizing personalities and ideologies invites interpersonal conflict, diverting attention from ongoing vital concerns that apply to each and every one of us -- one way or another, every which way -- on and on we bicker between bi-polar partisan contingencies. <<>> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> <<>> |

If current trends continue unabated, we can reframe the national debate, talk 'til we are red - blue - purple - or green in the face -- it will not stop the murderous rapist actions of those who care naught but for their own gain at the expense of others fueled by fear at the heart of deep insecurities -- calling it the will of God. Caught up in the groundswell of institutionalized ignorance, unbridled ambition and appetites unbound, contemporary America is an addict out of control. Wee people may be faced with a scenario where anyone who does not wave the gung-ho flag of devotion to static values will wind up in prison, the psych ward, or homeless -- to face the exigiencies of life in the street. Many will die. So many more could wind up drooling in the corners of institutions, drugged and raped or shocked into silence. With all the humanpower and good intentions that do exist there must be ways to coordinate efforts to foster alternatives and resources for conscientious individuals whose only crime is to believe in, and stand up for values that honor life, truth, compassion, peace, freedom, and integrity in human affairs. <<>> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> << >> <<< >>> <<>> |
