quiet reflection ...














caught in a loop that’s breaking - happens from time to time - haven’t been plowing the ‘unified field’ - simply lost ‘in’ sight - reflection and reading helps - being good to your ‘self’ - the david lynch book - rothko’s artist’s realities - drawing - a cd of voices of history; lenin, churchill, pankhurst, salter, gandhi, nightingale, russel - coltrane and monk at carnegie hall in ‘57 - drawing - bill’s reflections - service - action - planning - drawing ...
lally’s blog bothered me the other day - the ‘year’s best’ - the same way truth exposes something ugly you’d rather not look at - there are things i don’t have to consider if i keep them comfortably distanced - thankfully, he usually has that effect upon me - i bring my own gas to the fire - thinking of things like; filters of quality - having to always search for the good - advertiser’s perception of what the public wants or needs - executive decisions about what is good for the ‘majority’ and the scary realization that it might be true - could the majority be a barbaric bunch of aggressive hooligans lusting after big meals, 4th meals, more and more cheap stuff, and horrific reality tv that exploits recklessness and careless daring with a tribalistic frenzy that resembles a pack of blood thirsty hyenas - or brutality, inhumanity, or waste as though karma forgives and mother earth is going to tit-feed us into eternity ... maybe our acceptance of the things that are so blatantly wrong today is in large part due to what the majority has been feeding their brains over the past generation - kinda like, we are what we eat - a soft diet of banality, low expectations, hostility, sloth, and creamy illusions - no wonder the war [or any war or conflict] is tolerable - or the slaughter of things for waste - or blindness beyond comfort zones - saw the ‘baraka’ movie last night - a picture of the planet ... and if that don’t make you want to strangle law making authorities or institute capital punishment for stupidity, nothing will ...
its pretty hard to be at peace when you can imagine the deafening roar of millions of cries of consequence [starvation, diseased, poverty, abused, used, etc.,] ... never-the-less, tellers say that if i’m in ‘fit’ spiritual condition everything is exactly as it should be - screw on the ray bans and ipod and kiss zero seven goodbye - and another day goes by ...
