Outrage. Breaking point. Saturation point. Outrage is a response to the simmering turbulence here in the UK—and, I guess, the world over. Corrupt, failing politicians, lies, policies, laws, systems, news, charity overload, beggars, blaggers, scammers, hackers, immigration, fake news, bad news, and social media sleight of hand—all burden our minds to the point of destruction. To the point of outrage. And that’s just the tip of a titanic iceberg. It’s collectively, critically damaging our state of mind. Our health. And the rain! We don’t even get a summer anymore, lol.

 

Seriously though, for just one day, disconnect from the matrix. Take a time-out. When you go to bed, turn OFF your phone and wake up the next day without all that baggage. No phone. Be completely unavailable remotely. No television, no newspapers, no radio, no angry music. For just one day, disconnect from all the stuff that’s grinding your gears. Have a time-out-and-chill day. And if you can make it a family-and-friends thing, even better. For your sanity, pull the plug at least one day a week and say, “No! This is my day!

WAR​ Truth isn’t all it’s made out to be.

 

Some people, by their very nature, embody war. They forge others into war through circumstance.

 

They weaponize our fears, prejudices, and spirituality into factions of destruction against each other and smite all who oppose their dictatorship.

 

We will never be free from war, destruction, and hatred as long as we allow these people within our own ranks to rule over our faiths, hearts, minds, souls, fears, and common sense.

 

If you want freedom and peace, it’s a war against the war and hatred within. The dictator within must fall. The alternative is a legacy of perpetual war and oppression for our children for millennia to come, if not worse.

 

I happened upon Gandhi’s prayer for peace, and although it touches the very core of my nature and a path I have worn bare, I have come to realize that peace must come from within. Judge not others before judging yourself and your own kind first. Peace, freedom, and respect for everyone. 

 

GANDHI’S PRAYER FOR PEACE

I offer you peace

I offer you love

I offer you friendship

I see your beauty

I hear your need

I feel your feelings

My wisdom flows from the highest source

I salute that source in you

Let us work together

For unity and peace.

I’ve never been quite sure what to make of this one.  It set out as one of my rare, impromptu rambles that still eludes me to this day as to its true nature. And I’m guessing that the title (at that time) was an attempt to grasp its meaning, yet I don't think it's that clear cut. I’ve even gone to the expense of having it printed and framed to broaden my perspective. And all I can say is I love it even more so now.  It has a real sense of the primal about it that pleases me.
