Highway To Hell







Today, over 25,000 children died around the world

Do you know about Love?

"Ahhh . . ." I exhaled, and smiled at the Caribbean sun warming my limbs and my heart. "This is a good life," I thought as I looked around at the gorgeous beach and the wonderful people with whom I was sharing it.

I opened my eyes to reinforce the beauty and saw, clumsily walking my way as if half asleep, a young white Rasta man with a full beard and long dreadlocks. I didn't have time to wonder before he approached me and said, "Do you know about Love?"

The way he asked it made me pause. I am rarely speechless. "Uh . . . I think so?" I said it like a question.

"Do you know about Love?" he asked again, this time looking directly into my eyes, his piercing with insistence.

"I've been in love," I said, "I think it's really great." I finished like a fool.

"You don't know about Love," he concluded, and looked out over the sea. "If you want to learn about Love, if you want to be enlightened and walk away feeling better than you ever have - come and find me. I will be in my chair by that tree, as I always am." He then turned around and, as abruptly as he had appeared, he was gone.

My friend was the first to break the stunned silence. "Um, what just happened?" she asked, a laugh threatening to break out.

"I don't know . . . but I'm intrigued," I answered. For another three minutes we sat and discussed the possibilities of what he meant (does he want to smoke a joint? was he hitting on me? is he crazy?) while I felt his eyes like a second sun warming my back.

"I'm going over there. I just have to find out." With that, I left my friends and the safety of my beach and embarked upon a spiritual journey that I never expected.

Paul, my Rasta, washed me with a concoction of blue cactus and rainwater, which he had been working on for three days. He explained that he was led to me, and that I was shining already; I would be shining almost as brightly as the sun when we were finished. He taught me about Love - not "love" - and dug into my soul to reveal to me the crimes I had committed against myself.

When we were finished, and I had learned so much, I walked back to my towel and friends, and he returned to his chair under the mahogany. I looked around at the beautiful beach and thought, "How sad, that they have all forgotten about Love."

All You Need Is


We are born alone

live alone

die alone

What have we without love?

Guaranteed, or Your Money Back

I once said these things..and how can I ever forget them!?!?
but it does happen...though we must never stop trying!
and let us do this, for the sake of humanity

"Life is about beating time and space and fate for the chance of love."
"The willing spirit of love is the best thing in the world."

Everything in this world, it follows the laws of physics...
But we don't have to succumb to entropy!
We can live free! And our happiness doesn't need to come from temporary things.
Instead of accumulating this great illusion of wealth, you can be truly wealthy.
and your soul will be satisfied if you could just love...

And people! I'm not talking just about man and women.
Its child and parent! Brother and sister! Neighbors, co-workers.
Everyone!
If someone needs help, help them!
If someone needs attention, give it!
Some people you can't just change by ignoring them,
all your doing is hurting us.
So come together already...
And forget about your past sins, both those you've committed and those that have been committed against you...

And in these cold winter months...give some of those around you some love.
Do it for them because they need it,
do it for you, because you do as well.
And do it for me, because love is the most inspiring and fulfilling thing in this cold world.
Guaranteed, or your money back.

All Dogs Go To Heaven


(interview transcript)

I saw an alien last night



I saw an alien last night
He climbed onto my bed
He danced a jiggly jig
Before sitting on my head.
I asked him for his name
But he would not reply
He waved a single tentacle
Then poked me in the eye.





I had a word with Jesus


The Irrascible old Jew




Who wouldn't cut his toenails




So we shot him, wouldn't you?

respect full care

CARE VALUES BALANCE CULTURE.
Caregiving experience generates our life force / form.

Character is our reflexive behavior directed by how we respect our response abilities in relative understanding.

Forms are flexible as relativity equations in an integrating network of reflexive pairs.

Like breath gives and takes energy amplified by the beat of a heart, every action is reactive with continuation rhythm influence.

Integrate invested interests.
The choice IS... to be critical and negate / or feel intention to support.

The support is appreciation we reflexively believe CARE is.
Hate is a form of CARE that is understood by learning
about indifference and denial.
We don't care if we don't know, until aware of ignorance from innocence.

Awareness is the recognition of EXCEPTION which we try to make predictable with rules to the game.
Learn best by being content to play and struggle frustration for reasons to be happy. Winning is a point of conclusion that pays for attention with paying respect. Losing is a relative / reactive risk when happiness is desire to win.

Is anything more CARE full than respect?

The War Profiteers


"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents."

I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.

Corporate Murder


"We are not expendable. We are not flowers offered at the altar of profit and power. We are dancing flames committed to conquering darkness and to challenging those who threaten the planet and the magic and mystery of life."
Rashida Bee, Bhopal gas leak survivor



The Union Carbide disaster, also known as the Bhopal disaster or the Bhopal gas tragedy, was an industrial catastrophe that took place at a Union Carbide pesticide plant in the Indian city of Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh on December 3, 1984. Around 12 AM, the plant released methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and other toxins, resulting in the exposure of over 500,000 people. Estimates vary on the death toll; the official immediate death toll was 2259, which rose greatly over time. The government of Madhya Pradesh has confirmed a total of 3787 deaths related to the gas release. Another source says that a few days later the death toll had doubled. Over the next few years, the lingering effects of the poison nearly doubled the toll again, to about 15,000, according to government estimates. Local activists say the real numbers are almost twice that. Others estimate 8000 to 10,000 died within 72 hours and 25,000 have since died from gas-related diseases.

Some 25 years after the gas leak, 390 tonnes of toxic chemicals abandoned at the Union Carbide plant continue to leak and pollute the ground water in the region and affect thousands of Bhopal residents who depend on it.

It's Time To Change The World


"I believe that to meet the challenge of our times, human beings will have to develop a greater sense of universal responsibility. Each of us must learn to work not just for his or her own self, family or nation, but for the benefit of all mankind. Universal responsibility is the real key to human survival. It is the best foundation for world peace, the equitable use of natural resources, and through concern for future generations, the proper care of the environment."
