The Fairytale Made Real

And, indeed, a seagull swooped to grace Gar and Erin as these words were spoken and carried upon the sea breezes atop the cliff overlooking the Narragansett Bay

BirdWings by Rumi

Your grief for what you’ve lost lifts a mirror
up to where you’re bravely working.

Expecting the worst, you look, and instead,
here’s the joyful face you’ve been wanting to see.

Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes.
if it were always a fist or always stretched open,
you would be paralyzed.

Your deepest presence is in every small contracting
and expanding,
The two as beautifully balanced and coordinated
as birdwings.

Gar & Erin ~ A Love Story

no ordinary moment in time...9/07/15

when the heart has already said "yes"

and the soul reverberates a very deep "thank you"

and the breath is caught

and anyone present cannot escape the high-flying vibration

of the universe in communal celebration

Neil Diamond Hello

Cleanse my soul and wash away the pain..baptized by the song you're singing

Being lost ..is worth the coming home...

I Belong to Me

"You Don't Own Me" PSA from You Don't Own Me on Vimeo.

Thinking of fall, notwithstanding our ongoing heat....

Believe in yourself; trust your gut, ask for help..the problem contains the solution...think about the possibilities...F*&%, yeah!!

Nice to know the flower children are not all gone...I so welcome a bit of frivolity in each day!

I just love that, in our society, we are protecting the butterflies...

'Tis true, the sun is setting...still in all:  joy and so much gratitude in each day.

“Let the body say no because sometimes the first twenty or thirty no’s are just not enough“.

 Sheer panic that people with this kind of thinking...this lack of intelligence...both intellectually and socially...have the power to make laws...!!

"I know that this has nothing to do with hunting. I’ve eaten meat most of my life. I don’t, personally, have a problem with someone who hunts, for example, a deer or a rabbit or a squirrel, in order to feed hir family. I can’t find a definitive difference between hunting a deer in the woods and killing a cow in a slaughterhouse, at least, no difference that doesn’t favor the hunter. But we need to understand that the Second Amendment has NOTHING to do with hunters. It protects the right of citizens to bear arms in order to allow those citizens to be drafted into a “well regulated militia.” ~ http://hecatedemeter.wordpress.com/2012/07/23/what-i-learned-in-law-school/

A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 

"When those men wrote the Second Amendment to our Constitution, America didn’t have a standing Army, Navy, Air Force (they could never have imagined!), Marines, National Guard, and Coast Guard. We didn’t have a police force in every town equipped with tasers, drones, heat sensors, electronic spies, and the ability to nab your cell phone and entrap your friends. We can argue, as an esoteric exercise, about whether or not all of those abilities are good things, but they are, right now, facts. We, the people, have turned over to the government our need for a “well-regulated militia.”

Here’s what I do know. 

I do know that no matter how many guns any one person or group may purchase, if the United States government decides to take you out, they are going to take you out. They will, literally, out-gun you."

Plans for a full-size replica of the Western Wall in Jerusalem are being drawn up in Wichita, Kan. But women who have had abortions — rather than Jews — are the target audience.

The “Wailing Wall,” as the activists refer to it, and the accompanying center, will be fronted by 60 crosses, each one representing 1 million aborted fetuses.
Because nothing says Judaism like a bunch of crosses.

(Good gawd!  You've really got to read this...)

"...middle class is now toast" according to new trend in wealth management industry

April Rudin, CEO of The Rudin Group, has advised her industry the middle class is now toast...that they should now only focus on the extremely wealthy.  
        ~ Rich Benjamin, Dems.org appearing on Up With Chris Hayes, June 21, 2012

Speculation is there will be only two classes: The Super Wealthy and the Service Industry (those serving the Super Wealthy).
