island time


A piece on Music has not come together so instead it is short bits day.

Island tameness....losing that instinct for wariness concerning potential predators. It occurs when you lose your defensive behaviors.

Bands to listen to:
Ruckus Collective
Newton Faulkner
Jens Lekman
AuRevoir Simone
Bonnie Prince Billy

Good Reads:
Shock Doctrine...Naomie Klein
Death and the Penguin...Andrey Kurkov
Kafka on the Shore....Murakami
Lemon Tree....can't remember author

Human beings have to work at shedding anger as a vehicle to achieve some theoretical endpoint.
Valuing kindness first before anger creates environments where anger can be got rid of in safety.

Patience and tolerance must be nurtured. We have now become so interconnected we can no longer put blinders on concerning the fact that we are all from the same pot.

If a prophets words don't stand up to scrutiny and reason they must be rejected.

We become attached to what others have. Release the attachment and find peace. Reason helps you reach that peaceful state.

Humanities Worst Foes
1. The sword(war, violence)
2. Greed
3. Lack of Compassion
Can the above be defeated through kindness and positive thought?

History is a commentary of Six Thousand years of masculine ineptitude. Unfortunately, women have been following behind with the buckets.

Sometimes the further we go away the deeper we go within.

Living water is the principle of life.

"We all inhabit this small planet.
We all breath the same air.
We all cherish our children's future.
And we are all mortal." JFK

"No matter how "profoundly repugnant" we might find our foes ideology or system of government, they are still like us-----human beings." JFK

A liar is someone who knowingly utters falsehood

Demonizing anyone destroys the ability for others to think critically about the demonizee.

To regret deeply is to live afresh.

Creative Capitalism can show others how to create those aspects of the wealthy world that can function in the poor's world to make them achieve more profit.

My "friend" is one who takes me for exactly what i am.
