Imp-unity or Im-punity –

‘There’s a spat in Morocco about muezzin being too loud. He’s bothering the eardrums of hotel patrons; the local imam jacked up the decibels with imunity. Bullying those who’d come for a restful visit to _________.-c(ould be anywhere). Impunity – to do without punishment –or not to thought of as puny, for doing it. (As…

Peace

“Peace Now” “Give Peace a Chance!”, “Peace on Earth” without specifics, these declarations make me wince. They are so non-specific as “peace” can look like anything. Please consider[1]this. What bugs you anyway?  That you might pick another’s cause distracts you (not that that’s bad, just different choice of focus). Peace, as I have experienced it in my…

Million Dollar Baby

This morning I listened to a pediatrician and medical intensivist talk about the ethics of spending a couple of million dollars for one baby with a one-of-a kind (very rare) disease, in this case a neuromuscular disorder limiting normal breathing ability.  These babies might receive a series of doses, some intrathecally, (meaning they stick a…

Careless Speech

With free speech, the person with the most power gets to say them. Those with purse strings, consciously choose what is said during airtime. For that reason, “Free speech” is really a misnomer, I really wish they’d “fix” the First Amendment. Hold your tongue if you know what’s good for you.

Carpe Diem. (Seize the day)

Whether one or the other wins, at this point, there will be difficult futures for many, many, many people including the previously disenfranchised. Compared to what the Gulf Wars did to ordinary folks with businesses and practices- all lost when they were abusively deployed boots-on the ground. which took them years to recover, but many…

“love”

Imagine the softest white ermine – laying over my heart like the fresh exudate that naturally Band-Aids an abrasion. With this is a feeling of deep protection, safety and at-one-ness (atonement), holding me like gently peaked meringue. [I would have run from it like lightening in the past

Dearest Little One

Please know you are loved. You are so loved. Know you are loved by many ancestors, even hundreds, whose dream, sometimes an only dream, were that one day you would be born!

May they serve only your highest and greatest good serving our planet Gaia!
