Outrage. Breaking point. Saturation point.  Outrage is in 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 is 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. 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 or angry music. For just one day disconnect from all that 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 on at least one day a week and say, No!  This is my day!

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


Some people, by their very nature, are war. And they forge others into war by circumstance.  

    

They weaponise 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 us, our faiths, our hearts, our minds, our souls, fears and common sense.


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

 

I happened upon Gandhi’s prayer for peace, and although It touches upon the very core of my nature and a path I have worn bare, I have come to realise 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.
