O U.S.A. Can You Hear Me?

U.S.A… trinity diversity university destiny

It was not that they wanted to destroy

They were showing us… how? Do we even

Count things that don’t exist? Calories...

from food.. Dollars and sense?

NO… All there is is a letter 'O'

You and me… a world away… on vacation

Twin towers came crashing down I now know

Because we can’t even count to… Continue

A 'Seen-It' Debate On Healthcare

"Unconstitutional Bickering"

paranoid posturing

pointedly pouting, pandering

rendering reality

an abomination

assuming responsibility

as spokespersons

for the power-hungry; hateful

when prudent power lies

in passivity

passively we rotate

focused on a landscape

of unconstitutional bickering

bitter kindergarteners, it seems; fickle

WE ARE

fighting fret-less-ly

letting the score

of our conscience… Continue

New Legislation Takes On Congo's Conflict Minerals. Please sign the petition to end the war!

The conflict in eastern Congo is being fueled by a multi-million dollar trade in minerals that go into our electronic products. Over five million people have died as a result, and hundreds of thousands of women have been raped over the past decade. The armed groups perpetuating the violence generate an estimated $144 million each year by trading in four main minerals, the 3 Ts and gold.

Please sign the petition to stop the… Continue

“Desperate, Dreaming”

Apologies for not fitting into your system

Not living for money or out fighting terrorism

Home, alone- family-less for a time- just being

Openly unemployed, uninsured, desperate- believing

Miraculously enough, that maybe i could make a difference

A dream i keep having- again and again, sentence by sentence

Getting closer to it, it… Continue

Decrease the war ?

Peacefull need to share for all, but it's difficult to get it, so war is not recomanded by any reason. But actualy, war can not refuse with special reason too.
But if every nation always avoid any agreement that was create before.

On a cool and damp Autumn Eve

On a cool and damp Autumn eve

From this world, I'll take leave

Out to the woods I'll go

To the path I know

In the gentle breeze and rustle of the leaves

soon I"ll be abound in tranquility

In the quite moment of this endeavor

my thoughts begin to gather

If only time could ceased

I could remain in this nocturnal bliss

Gazing above to the clouds, feeling the mist

no longer the… Continue

The Reciprocal Flow of Abundance

Giving Without Expectations

Since giving and receiving are so intimately intertwined in our lives, we often expect that we can attract abundance by simply conducting ourselves in an openhanded fashion. Yet we find ourselves wallowing in disappointment when our ample generosity is not met with the expected results. The answer to this quandary lies in the expectations that, in part, initially prompted us to give. Though our… Continue

Happy Morning Happy Day!

Happiness is difficult to define and even harder to measure. We experience it as a combination of elements, in the same way that one wheel or spring inside a watch doesn't keep time - it is a result of the synchronicity of the whole. As a relative state, happiness is what psychologists call our subjective well-being and, fortunately for us, it is a state that we can actively change for the better. Here are 20 ways to start.

Everyone longs for happiness, but few possess it. The… Continue

Diversity University #2 (Pt. II, #2)

“I. C. Lovers Everywhere [at 98.6°]!"

In an alien’s infinite eyes, two worlds collide

Collision course calculated appropriately and accurately

Lyrically challenging mathematics, medicine, economics as practiced

Operating openly- under the influence of gravity-

Veracious (or not, as necessary), gracious- space is

Everywhere; outside of time, space is spacious.

Reality check- an undefined species is demanding time-

Surely, succinctly- to cease… Continue

“Ultra-Fine Optometrics (U.F.O.)”

Do ‘they’ exist? i have seen ‘them’ with my own eyes

Not a landing- no ‘alien encounter’- just distant lights

Alighting light-years away- three dots; swiftly

A flash-zoom in between each- energy from drifting?

Living beings sailing on a far-out sun’s light?

Is it something else? perhaps our future fusion technology?

Entering our galaxy… Continue

Being the Stream

Meditation is not just a rest or retreat from the turmoil of the stream or the impurity of the world. It is a way of being the stream, so that one can be at home in both the white water and the eddies. Meditation may take one out of the world, but it also puts one totally into it.

- Gary Snyder, from “Just One… Continue

“Something Seemingly Sinister, Something Truly Sinister”

something seemingly sinister sounds an alarm

though you may be afraid, it means you no harm

it drives you crazy to hear the voices it speaks in

or to think of how easily its lights can peek in

tweaking your world to pull you out of misery

making you lose your mind as you revisit history

horrible happenings, special occasions; memories… Continue
