My growth

I am realizing I put my frustration into the things I do. Instead of letting go, I express the negative in my attempts to reach out. I have accepted the opaqueness of this American Evolution; the lack of truth in direction. I still engage in discussions or arguments rather, where there are two people standing on speculation or media based opinion. I feel most times a fool.

I do sense bigotry in many opinions and have a hard time not responding to it. I try to rase questions to expose the absurdity of this blind hope. IF money makes the world go round, whats going on with the money?

I don't know whats going on. A war for more still rages and most are worried about the economy. there is a direct connection between these, I just don't know what it means for you or me. The bo0ttom line is we are seperated on many fronts, and those fronts are largely supported by opinions. I know most of all, we need to stand together, we need to be humble and accept we need everyone's help to change this country and move on to a brighter day.

Radical is the way to change. In time though, change will occur no matter what we think. Change will find us either aware of still doing the same things.

A new hope

Hope for change
sit at home: hope
stop the game
strain the senses to believe
Look at the picture of reality
never look at the sun
see the poster of how it is
never see it for what it is
dream america
its gona be a long night
sleep in your apathtic slumber
drift in you war time blissful restuant dinner
drive to the moon and pave space
take the change from a coffee cup give it to a homeless one
take the change from a beer and give to the coffee shop
do it like you have always done: thats change

That we believe there are many kinds of love is the greatest injury to humanity. To believe we are defined by our differences and to commit murder, either by hand, tax or patriotism is the natural result of disconnection to the one love that existed long before words, or, the concept of Gods. When we can look at our brothers and see their suffering as something disconnected from our hearts; that we aren't suffering too, we have lost love. When we see not the connection of our hearts to our hands and ignore the connection between our hands and the actions that cause the suffering of our brothers and sisters, we have become a shade of the monochrome color of oppression.

Green. A color of trees and myriad flora the world over. It is being used to justify the destruction of the world. The Green movement was hatch in a system of brutish capitalism and therefore disconnected to the true nature of conservation. Capitalism is consumption. So long as our system is maintained as is we will continue to cause irrevocable damage to our life-support systems (air, water, land). We must break the trend of Money first, everything else second or suffer as any other species that ignores nature.

I can not find a reason to support the cause amid such indefference; if I was bleeding on the street people would judge me by my clothes. If I was speaking about the solutions I wouild be labeled worng because of my grammer. I can find a reason to be the change; to abandon all of this for the sake of connect to the world as it is benith the sun, not throught he eyes of capitalism. That means I see clear cause to remove myself from your world as it ignores my suffering; our suffering.

I don't mean to say we have it worse than the sudan, or the middle east, I mean to say we're all one, and when we allow others to suffer for our bliss we condem our children to live in a world that resents them. It is a sad day when we can not break the trend of slavery; when we can't see our freedom has been placed second to money.

I cannot tell you what to do. I can say this only: If you are doing the same thing you were doing yesterday, and if you refuse to see the lack of change in our culture, you are a slave conditioned to believe lies.

What do we do? Well, it only takes "We" to be the change. I must admit, I don't what is going on today, and I no longer wish to discuss and argue about whats going on. I want to sit down and do nothing until the momentum behind this dies off and then we can see whats going on. I don't want to speak out of ignorance any longer, I want to wait for the truth. I don't want to put energy into a system of currption any longer, I want to wait for the truth. I will do my best to provide for myself and allow this system to do the same; support itself without the energy of me. This is its weakness; it can't support itself and we need only ignore it and provide for ourselves to change once and for all this modern slavery and world-wide suffering in the name of the greedy.

One thing this system needs to maintain itself is revolution. This is why we must refrian from engaging in "Re-Evolution" and once and for all evolve beyond this 2000 year old scheme.

Left, rigth, political party bullsht

There is one fact we all will probably agree on: we don;t know fro sure what is going on with our country. This is important for when we engauge in discussions we are arguing and supporting foundationless points. We are building social walls out of bullshit.



I am a passionate person; I talk loud and get excited. I am a man, weak and beautiful. I am tempered by the road, thousands of miles in a car, thousands of miles on a bicycle, thousands of miles on mountain trails and ridges. Oh yea, I went to university too. I learned how and where to look to understand something. Of all the things I"ve been accused of, and found guilty, it has never been that I"m wrong. I am passionate about things I know and love, fault me for this but you must see it as a sad man's attempt to arouse your passion and love for the life we are deprived of.



I have decided that to converse about the issues surrounding the failings of our system is a waste of time as we know not the facts other than for as long as we can remember, polititions have been lying about much of whats going on. I also feel, to engage in foundationless discussions is a good way to prevent common understanding and increase the disorganization among the people. Change has always come from people working together and the first ingreadent in working together is a common goal followed by the many ponits of orginazion. Discussions of void of fact prevent all of these things.



The questions remains: IF we need to change a s country, why are we still doing the same things we've done for the past fifty years? Anthropogentic Global Warming, War for More, Pollution of Air and Water; these are all consequences of irresponsabile consumption/lifstyle. It does no good to argue over consequences as it only serves to distract us from addressing the cause. And when we look back we can see for a long time the public has been devided by many different lines. Today the lines have gotten thicker and this is where we must start; we must come together under the name of sameness

The drifting surf

upon the harbor waters I rest upon my boat, tied to the bulkhead carrying out maintance tasks from a never ending list. I've been docked for two weeks now, most of that time waiting for two small parts that would save me $120 and restore the Nita Jacqueline to her sturdy sailing status. She is complete and now I have more land-based projects, namely, Balance the Bucks.

There is always something between us and where we want to be. Today it is playing music at the Sylvan Theatre in the shadow of the Washington Monument and sing a few songs about change from the perspective of a traveler with a diverse background. I bring the message, tried and true: Be the change you wish to see in the world. None of the "change you can believe" stuff.

I will be busy promoting this show, everyone will as we have no sponsors. You can't paly the game of greed and speak for and end to it, Del Goldfarb understands this. He's been paying for this out of pocket and doing everything personally. Small change from the norm, but paramount in meaning. There will be no signage from beer, car, or cleaning product companies. Just music from the soul to the ear hole.

After this I will be spending time with my mom, who is dealing with a cancer that has begun to advance. I will find a slip for my boat and be spending time in the house I grew up.

Being the same as you, I hope your adventures reach the horizon, and your dreams grow to the sun.
