One of the greatest things I did at the start of this
global pandemic situation
was to stop watching the news
not a fan of over sensationalized stories anyway
I ceased even my once a day tune in to local news
(mostly in hopes of catching the weather)
I had no wish to be fed the constant speculation and
bickering, snatches of things off the internet
click bait headlines over-filled with fluff
especially in these times<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t take myself out of necessary things
but I prefer to choose
what I willingly
ingest
(bodies tend to
carry stuff)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve been reading, watching and learning lately, much about the mistreatment of humans,
racism, sexism, patriarchy, religion, politics, power and
fear
stealing, slaughtering, bludgeoning of indigenous people
into submission,
snatching people from other countries, forcing them
into slavery,
mistreatment of individuals simply because they are
a different shade,
shushing, subduing and diminishing women, the weaker sex
into obedience
(the past two nights have been suffragettes)
claiming as great leaders of power, politics and religion
always have\u2026
to \u2018civilize\u2019
all the while acting anything but civilized<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of course I know,\u00a0 so very much is driven by fear
divide and conquer often at its
helm
still goes on
I suppose I am trying to figure how it is,
people eat this stuff up
how people around the megalomaniac ever feel this
to be
right, fair
just<\/p>\n\n\n\n
civilized: \/\u02c8siv\u0259l\u012bzd\/<\/strong>adjective<\/strong><\/em> if right here you happen to be thinking and that my friends, is precisely in the garden he spends the morning we stand out front looking at the very dry lawn then we go from here often captured here and just One of the greatest things I did at the start of this global pandemic situationwas to stop watching the newsnot a fan of over sensationalized stories anywayI ceased even my once a day tune in to local news(mostly in hopes…
1. at an advanced stage of social and cultural development.
“a civilized society”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
here she goes\u2026\u00a0 this is not my doing\u2026\u00a0 why do we need again to talk about this
stuff
then most probably you are among the privileged
who have not been made
to suffer<\/p>\n\n\n\n
why
possibly my hope here is that something ignites a small spark
that somehow allows
you who may be reading this to
open understanding, to listening , to learning
to independent deep thinking
to being aware of the world
around you
and to every being who inhabits
it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
it\u2019s been terribly or rather wonderfully
(depending on perspective and my love of summer)
hot
and dry, so very, very dry
everything is beginning to get crispy and
crinkled
we are in need of rain so badly
where a walk around starts to feel a bit
sorrowful
as flowers begin to lie themselves down
in parched desperation
I get a bit reluctant even to water as I know what they are needing
is genuine nourishment in the form\u00a0
of a deep soaking rain
so each of us
adapt..\u00a0\u00a0 I suppose
and wait\u2026\u00a0\u00a0 for nature to replenish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with me, my love
reading, then we walk
talking passionately to each other
about ideas, things we know, things we are learning
things we believe in
things
to be done<\/p>\n\n\n\n
renew our
commitment
to growing things other than
grass…
filling ourselves up
on gratitude
and the sweetest of things<\/p>\n\n\n\n
him to work and me
to writing
about the same old things
love, kindness
and gratitude<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in the smallest
of details<\/p>\n\n\n\n
then…
