We don’t have to wait till we are sixty one

I was thinking that we don’t have to wait till we are sixty one.

To smile a little more, say hi a little more. Be kinder a little more, happier a little more. To be; who we really are, but really, this hiding out in a world of compliant, is something I am no longer interested in and I say no longer because I was not willing to say that earlier in my life. I rode the ride along with many of you and it has been really a sweet go. But I am now saying I am not interested in hiding out in a complaint any longer.

I am just thinking: sing a little more, dance a little more, hug a little more, give a little more and we don’t have to wait until your sixty one. I can hear Candace saying “well did you have a good time?” Include a little more, give a little more, listen a little more. Breathe a little more; just be, a little more.

Mad as hell ...and mean it!

Look at all the stuff we keep in.

Interesting is it not that we go through life holding it all in until we cannot anymore. We are on the verge of some kinda something, because it is not possible to maintain this kind animosity, we are talking hatred and total distain and nobody is listening to anybody.

When it means nothing to wipe out everybody’s savings and bring the housing market to its knees for the greed of the “all powerful.” Then, turn around and tell us, you know, we are not only going to do nothing, we are going to take your money and give it to help, these banksters continue to be "too big to fail" What is the sense of that?

We need to take a breath, quite the noise; which is running about 5 notches higher than it should be, and 100 miles an hour telling us nothing of what we need to know. Remember that wonderful actor, from NETWORK saying, “I am mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore”. Well you know what, we are feeling just that way.

I think that if the Tea-baggers, had not been bought up by the Republican Party to make noise but do as we say. There would be a lot of common ground on which the Baggers and the Occupiers would have agreed.

The “all powerful” have us, standing on our heads, trying to see what is possible here to make any sense of in what they are saying, and then getting so perplexed, we all just go away. I do not think any one is going away this time.

Hey you all anybody out there?

What’s it all about …Alfie are we fools to beat all fools or have we come the end of the road. When I take a moment to glance at the “feeds” that are ever present on the screen before me, only to see “uproar over air brush Julia Roberts”, I shutter and actually get a little mad and I think the mad is there, to help to balance out all the sad I feel.

When I was kid back in the what, seems to be now eons ago, which for some is and for some not so much. I loved being a part of this, what we all, or surely most anyway thought to be this wonderful country of ours. We put out the flag on the days we should. We would pledge at least through grade school. We sang the Star Spangle Banner at ball games. It is all part of that which we did.

Today I feel a definite sadness not for what we have become necessarily but for what we could have been. Sadness comes when I see the denial of everybody being equal with everybody else side by side. The rights shall be equal is what I was taught but most importantly I do believe. I am sad that people have stopped caring for our neighbors and those we encounter pretty much on a daily bases. We are told that there is this limited amount of MONEY we can spend no more. We are told that they know best for us. I don’t think that is true. We have held, so tightly to the line that has been, lowered down to us from those on high and I say we need to let go of the line and let us. Let go of the line and let us get to work building a marvelous, homogeneous society where we all win and we really can all win together. We no longer need to hold on to the line that there needs to be losers (those too poor to ever need to have a wage that you can live on comfortably and have healthcare too, so don’t even think about it). We can have healthcare for all of us, not just some. We all can, and it will be great healthcare, it is good to take care of each other in this manner. We can. It will probably end up costing less and be the best. Because that is the way, we do things, when we put our mind to it.

Are we really too, too of anything that we can’t sit down and put our minds together to see just how this can be accomplished and then move to complete it. We have so much in common and so much to do. We need to be for one another and when we are for one another we are for us. Be for one another everybody equal, working on this master- piece to be.

We can if we say we will.

We could be doing so much more if we would just institute a couple of new options. Really why, is it that there is this penchant to do little and always the same? Why is there such low expectation for who we are, why we are here? Is there this thing that that says do no better and all will be fine I hope I hope. When the story, is told what will they say? Have we given up, are we all too “tired” is this really not of interest. What will they say when they tell the story? We were too busy watching obese people lose 120 lb and still not win. Blowing bubbles through a ring you can win 25,000. Do you think we could be about; building you and me, no kidding… a better, more just society that has us all to win? We do not have to have losers for us to be winners all of us no one left out. We could allow people of different origins to live their lives with out us interfering, as we live ours. We could align with the Declaration of Independence that all not just some have equal rights and we really could be okay with that so this includes everyone. This is not hard; we are just told that it is hard. We have far more in common if we would just take a breath. We could all come to the dance, and all dance.

Just a thought.

Why Does It Seem So Scary`Thoughts that make me go uhh

I have been listening to Esther Hicks and she keeps talking about allowing yourself to go down stream, down stream, down stream she will repeat again and again, and it seems scary and I experience anxiety filled moments of just trying to imagine what it might be like, to let go. Let go? What is it I am holding on too? What is it that I clutch and am so terrified at the very thought of letting go. I have seen how so, up stream, up stream, up stream I am and it is really to no avail well I have survived so that should count for something its only fair. Fair; we want it all to be so fair. Don't we? But really fair right? Oh God here with go with right. How right you are! Don't you know I am right...don't you think? Right, if we are right, does that mean there has to be others that have to be wrong so it that we can be right? We spend so much time and unmeasurable amounts of energy trying to be right or at least not to be wrong and we forget who we are and why we are here. Why are we here? But really why are we here. Here this moment, this space, this very second why are we here? When we dare to look what might we see? Today it looks not too bad, tomorrow might be not so good. What we do in the meantime with all this going on, we keep going up stream, up stream, up stream and trying to pretend this is all normal. Well isn't it?

WAITING?

Forgetting for just a moment, what a blissful notion.

Forgetting all those things I have told myself of why, why, why, like a such as; things are this way or that. Or why I can't, when I really know I can. Why I don't when it is something I say I really want. My world is a miss-match for what I say, I, would like to do, say or be. I am yearning for the opportunity to step up and or out. Am I, looking for the particular person, place or thing to give me the go ahead... waiting and waiting and then more waiting. I have to ask myself what is it I am waiting for. Robert you are turning another year older next month, what is it or who is it you might be waiting for? But really? I discovered that I have spent a great portion of my life in the waiting mode and I am going to wait no more. It is not like some one said Robert you need to wait right here and I have waited for more than 50 years,no one said that. I am clear no one said that, so I am now wondering why was I waiting. I am going within, to discover and bring forth the gifts that I was given upon my day of conception. It is my inner being that will guide me into this created life I will begin to allow. This is not to say these past years are wasted years oh absolutely not, I have learned plenty for I am a student. I have witnessed plenty and I have lived plenty of that I am sure. Where I go from here is what I am not sure about and I believe this is a good thing.
