Emotion Rebellion

A   L   O   H   A !
Click to visit among the clouds
Why are so many of us
 angry?
Disillusioned?

Why is compromise
a dirty word,
when in our private lives
we work out compromises
every minute
to keep life 
harmonious?







People:
Our deep emotional side
feels cheated and lied to.

That deepest, most ancient
and Human portion of ourselves
has systematically been 
devalued.

Don't get me wrong,
I'm glad to enjoy
our scientific age
and it's myriad,
undeniable blessings.

But something vital has been lost
- fairly recently -
and we all feel it.

Visiting "less developed" places
we encounter smiles,
and resilience of joy,
that our culture lacks.








Because we have 
ignored the care
and feeding of Our Humanity,
our emotional unity
that very ancient part of us
is on life support.

All that's left
is a vestigial patriotism
played like a fiddle
by those who profit 
from war.

We roll it our for parades.








In the absence of wider 
Shared Values that empower
  our emotional side's best,
a forest of technicalities,
convolutions, and
Procedures
holds all the power
in day to day life.

This state of affairs
frustrates our most
basic connection to
"Right & Wrong." 

We are estranged,
governed by those who
believe that they,
not we,
see the Big Picture.

They after all are
Leaders.
We used to call them
Servants of the Public.
But the clash with reality
has retired that expression.

Where are they leading us?








Instead our emotions,
uneducated & ignored,
are played upon by experts
causing us to purchase,
wear, vote, live out 
conformity.

Though our shared public 
conformity has shattered,
this has not deterred 
the self proclaimed "Elite."

Our public narratives
have wandered far afield.

The Center
will Not Hold.

And perhaps this too
is by design,
because the voters
united
will never be defeated.

So they need us to be
stirred up and confused.

Clarity would show us
how robbed we are!

They have thwarted 
and channeled our
wise discontents,
cleverly making of us
 impotent clans opposing
each other.

We waste our political energies
in argument
accomplishing
Nothing.

This too keeps the 
machine of society
 humming
in the  
 predetermined direction.

Happy or angry
it's all the same to them:
we go to work
we buy their shit
we repeat their lies.










In the 60's Grace Slick
and the Jefferson Airplane sang:
"Feed Your Head."

Today the revolutionary
evolutionary
radical & conservative
Thing To Do:

FEED YOUR HEART.

Ignore the phony oppositions,
stop arguing with your neighbor,
and hear their desperate heart
that knows something is wrong.

The talismans of guns,
prepping for disaster
and hating those godless
liberals
are really talismans:
hopeful charms protecting
the same things liberals value!
Family, Liberty, American Values
(which have always included
both welcoming
and beating immigrants.
Sad but true.)

So we continue;
Pushing the boulder of decency
and civic equity
up the steep incline
of loud, wrong
"explanations."

Who do those explanations
serve?

Not You,
Not Me.

One message of the 60's
still rings true:

" All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free
Ah, ah, yeah . . . ah, ah, yeah
If there's a man who is down
 and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand 
and to see him through "

Young Rascals 
People Got To Be Free
[ Lyrics ]









Together. Here.
You & Me-

We Are Living It 

Every Day

Can You Feel the Power?

Orange You Glad

Orange by Cell on Grooveshark



" Try not thinking 
of peeling
an orange.










Try not imagining 
the juice running down your fingers, 
the soft inner part of the peel. 










The smell.

Try and you can't. 

The brain doesn't process 
negatives. "
 
Doug Coupland



 > < } } ( ° > 



" whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable

—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—

think about THOSE things."

 Philippians 4:8






" This itself 
is the whole of the journey:
opening your heart 
to that which is lovely.
  This is the way
you must train yourself: 
closely observe and embrace 
all states of mind
that are
good. "

Buddha



It is GOOD
to see you here!

Thank YOU

Stay Tuned

Aloha Welcome, to YOU!



"Follow your bliss
                         and the universe will open doors
                                                                    for you
                                                                                where    there were only walls."
 
                     Joseph Campbell










"Beauty - 
in projection and perceiving -
is 99.9% attitude."

Grey Livingston










"Beauty... 
is the shadow of God
on the universe."

  Gabriela Mistral,

President Obama has been forced
to release his Birth Certificate.



Obviously, he is SO DIFFERENT
that many Americans
'just feel that they're not sure about him.'



For one thing, he graduated Cum Laude
 from our most esteemed University,
he held the top spot
at the top US law school
as editor of the Harvard Law Review. 



How did he do that?



I mean, just LOOK at him!



Something fishy must be going on.



That wife of his has suggested
that school children
eat healthy food,
and that we honor
military families.


How DARE she!? 
Someone like
THAT
will never tell ME
what to do!



You know, 
some of the most serious problems
our nation, and our international system
have ever faced
are demanding our attention.



My neighbors here on Oahu,
or their children,
are on their fifth deployment
to Afghanistan.


WWII, our US Civil War,
The Great War;
They lasted what, four years?


Hawaii people are raising funds
and visiting family & friends in
Japan (remember Japan?)
to help in the devastation.

Americans are more dispirited,
including Hawaii residents,
than I have ever seen them.



The middle class is so decimated;
The gulf between those
who think everything
is just ducky-

and the vast majority of
LOSERS
in our democracy-

is now SO wide
that the media, Washington,
Dubai, and Wall Street
don't know OR CARE
about the HAVOC they are wreaking
in our fabric of social trust.

Reasonable solutions
take a back seat
to policy changes SO radical
that the head spins
as one realizes how the policy suggestions
of Nixon, Reagan & Bush the elder
are now "too far left"
as we are ratcheted click by click
into a winner-takes-all 
Cloud Cuckoo Land
where booming corporations

pay NO US taxes 

as our infrastructure:
social, physical, and moral
crumble.

Compare our airports, cities,
and medical systems
to those of other developed nations
and we are not number 1,
we are just numb.

All this is macro of course.

Yes, I'm a bit poorer than I was
just before the panic of 2008.

I'm glad the geniuses that caused it
have been amply rewarded.

You see,
I live in my own Cloud(ia)  Land.

Yes, I vote, testify, write, comment, call
and visit the Sate Capitol,
one HAS to.

But at end of day,
when you close your eyes,
it is the furniture of your soul-
not of your bedroom-
that really matters.

We are suffering
Malefactors of Great Wealth & Power,
but 
they are getting SO far ahead of reality,
that many average people(voters!)
are remembering
their TRUE values & interests. . .


And it AIN'T about the 
President's Birth Certificate!

Stay tuned. 

Once, millions of humans changed their mind
and a 'thousand year' Berlin Wall
fell to dancing feet.

Jews & Arabs on the street
are fed up with the way things have been
for too long in the Middle East.

So stay Tuned.  

Stay Tuned for Miracles-
be sure to look for them,
pray for them,
work for them. . . 

and DO stop by 'comments'
          warmly, cloudia
