AN INTRODUCTION...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Retired, but not too retiring, a work still in progress.
I enjoy many things: Music (making it & appreciating it), balance (within myself, in my relationships, and in my world), Tai Chi (practicing & teaching), cooking (especially for friends), Dancing, Karaoke!, teaching, mentoring, reading, some crafts...and trying daring things on my birthdays.
I've been single, married, now widowed, but not forever.
I thought I was straight; found out I'm not; am happy about it.
Believed in God, then god, then Universe; now happy not knowing and just being stardust until or unless I find out differently.
A shift in language? Drafted in September; forgotten till now...
"Solidarity With Women's Struggles All Over the World"
" Join me and Help Fight Plastic Pollution!"
"...who lost his battle with x disease on ..."
I'm fighting traffic; chasing a dream; struggling with x;
"War on Drugs; Poverty;
So, now that I'm looking for them, I find no appropriate quotes, but my point is about all the battle/fighting language that is rampant in the American culture now. Maybe Western culture, but I sorta blame that on us, so...
I mean, i DO have a vague conspiracy theory that the global 1% are blissfully happy that their plans to own the planet are going so well..., but
I can't effect the global stuff. I'm not really interested in the daily minutiae of details that pass for news because it is all spoken in that same battle language.
That's just Us & Them talk to me. And I don't really get why it is not obviously so to more people.
Us & Them = Divisive = Taking/Choosing Sides = Anger = Intolerance = Violence = War & Destruction
Could we be Earthlings? or Humans? or as Joel would have had it: Hooman Beans?
Back to my point:
I believe that our thoughts & words have energy in the same way that our bodies do.
