With less than 5 weeks to go until Christmas, I’m finding myself incredibly far behind in both my cards I need to write and my read-set-go to get away for a few days during Christmas.
I know a few of us getting a little down over the holidays, but I would like to think that we know Christmas Spirit is alive and well, just look into the faces of kids everywhere, they are always hopeful, always in awe of the Christmas lights, trees, the long line to whisper to Santa what they want for gifts....... It does not matter the times, the days, the media news, if you really want to share or feel the spirit of the holidays, look into the face of a hopeful child. I wish more of us could remember that feeling, that excitement, that loyalty to imagination.
How about you? Are you done with your holiday shopping yet? Do you think you’ll be ready in time?

The Monster RA
My RA has made life hard, sometimes even debilitating, but has also created a spirit within me that I never knew existed. I know this will sound a bit bizarre, but what I’ve learned because of it, I would never want to lose. If ever the genius who could remove all signs of my RA, I would still ask don’t take away what arthritis has done to my soul”. RA in many ways has shown me I am a kind person, a person that can understand and listen to others who share this journey of RA, it has made me patient and I revel in the days when my pain is low. I wouldn’t want to give away the perception it has thought me. It’s invaluable and essential to who I am and who I hope to be, along with my enduring husband who has been there for me every step of the way.
Don’t get me wrong, I do mourn the healthy person I once was, but I swear to all that is beyond our thinking, even with a disease like RA, we can learn a lot about ourselves and others. I still get irritated and think “why me” every now and then. That is inevitable. When I am down, I get really dark. But now, when I find myself in those moments of despair, I talk myself out of it and take on the monsters of RA. I know it is okay to allow yourself to be unhappy occasionally.
Thanks for letting me sound off ..... Blessings, Ves

Death is What It Is~ Mankind Have Become Vampires~
7 dead, 12 injured in Fort Hood shooting The World is a Vampire
His name appears on radical Internet postings. A fellow officer says he fought his deployment to Iraq and argued with soldiers who supported U.S. wars." He was a man of science, a Psychiatrist, a man that was there to help others who were suffering from the effects of this situation, a place called Iraq...... need more be said? His name is Dr Maj Hasan- he was American born, a faithful man to his religion of Muslim, he has been quoted as saying such things as Muslims should stand up and fight the aggressor and that we should not be in the war in the first place." He said that eHasan said he was "happy" when a US soldier was killed in an attack on a military recruitment centre in Arkansas in June. An American convert to Islam was accused of the shootings.
Dr Maj Hasan was a devout Muslim and had sought for several years to be discharged from the military, the Washington Post reported, citing his aunt. Noel Hasan told the newspaper her nephew had endured name-calling and harassment about his faith for years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and the Pentagon.
But in scope, no matter his religion, what he felt or did not feel, he took the lives of innocence today- he murdered, why, we do not know, but does it matter, even in the knowing of why, that won’t bring back the dead. War is hell, men’s war games are hell. It does not make a man bigger, or a bad ass or more important to pick up a weapon and kill, to me, it makes him a coward hiding behind a loaded gun. Men are boys and they will never learn that war is not the answer.
The magnitude of what happened is mind boggling, even for those familiar with unexpected acts of violence. "
Quite an ironic day to commit a treasonous act against your country.
Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.
The world makes less and less sense to me, the world is a vampire and we are just the food that the wars will continue to feed upon, until we are no more~~~

Hazy Days of Poems
Breach
Free of the untruths we recite,
Beholding reality for what is right,
Rise high your glass, in praise of man
understand his nature while you can.
Delicious in appearance, beware the cost,
for it shall bitter in taste with innocence lost.
Freeing my bonds to explore his night.
In this I find you will not like.
From in this depth you cannot fight.
No truth or lessons for me be taught,
It guides me in this soul I rot.
Soiled and raw with stench of death,
screaming, illusive, foul, be my breath.
In my solemned disillusion I lurch and writhe,
I am his grief, have no doubt,
a dispirited life, now cast me out.
In these wounds I will feel no more,
the scalding sun upon this tasteless sore.
Man hides behind his faceless disguise
always to parish in truth, as I live his lies.
Remove his harmony for I have become his past,
Thinking I could hold on to love, never to last,
Giving way to blackness, I belong to the night,
Down here in the shadows seeing the last of my light~

The Two Sons
Older and Younger brother
Once, not to long ago, their was a family in the world. They lived peacefully, and happily and life was good. They live with there Mother and Father, one was called Older brother who had been around for a very long time and was very wise in the ways of spirit. Older brother had a sibling, called Younger brother who was very young and still learning the ways of the world and Spirit. A day came when Younger brother wanted to go out and learn on his own, and too like Older brother become wise in his ways. He told Older brother, whose ways were always gentle and letting. Older brother agreed, for if Younger brother wanted to make his own way, then it was not Older brothers way to stop him.
Younger brother went far away. Though he learned much, he was often foolish, and without the guidance of Older brothers advice he often learned things backwards and forgot many of the ways of spirit. The farther and farther Younger brother went, the more different and backwards he became. Then one day he had traveled so far, he traveled to the same place he had left. Many many years had passed, but Older brother, whose memory is as great as he is wise remembered and welcomed Younger brother. Younger brother, whose memory was as great as he was wise, did not recognize Older brother.
It became clear that Younger brother had indeed found his own way, if walking backwards can be called a way. Younger brother spent a lot of time growing food. He made many tools and spent a lot of time making sure that he would have enough to eat, and spent much time making sure he could have his favorite foods. Yet the more he worked on the land, the more the land demanded more work. And the larger the harvests, so to the larger Younger brothers population until Younger brother had to spend more time working even more land to secure larger harvests. Older brother did not do things so. He spent only a little time each week gathering food, took only what was needed, and took what was available. He often wandered too with the food, and so never spent much time working the land. Younger brother saw this and thought it foolish. He made fun of Older brother, who confused replied, "Trust in Spirit for your daily needs, and be content with what is given." Indeed, Older brother was quite content, even though he did not spend time working land. Younger brother, who had forgotten the ways of Spirit was perplexed for he had a lot of all his favorite foods but never seemed to be content with what he had and always wanted more. For some reason Younger brother grew angry that Older brother was so content to have so little and be so lazy, while he was working hard and had so much!
Younger brother had learned to make many tools, and spent countless hours making, repairing, and using them. Tools that did all kinds of things, in countless ways. He was very proud of his tools, and was fairly haughty when he showed them to Older brother. But Older brother only replied "Spirit is very diverse and will always provide you with what you need within your own ability. A healthy man who uses a crutch will eventually grow dependent on it and go lame." This made Younger brother very angry, he thought Older brother very foolish, could he not see how accomplished Younger brother was?
Both brother daily led different lives indeed it seemed. Older brother lived very freely and regally and was content with very little. He spent much time playing games, making simple art, dancing, and lived a very relaxed and slow paced life that Younger brother thought was lazy. Yet Older brother was very content, and wise in the ways leading a happy life. Younger brother was always very busy like the ants, but unlike the ants he often only thought of himself as miserable men tend to do. He spent much time working, most of his time infact, either on the land or his tools. And though he had many things and favorite foods, knowledge and facts, he had forgotten how to live a happy life content with what he had.
One day Father Spirit came to visit the two brothers. Both brothers were happy, and Younger brother thought "At last, truly Father will recognize the supperiority of my ways!" But as Father came to them, he looked deeply into there hearts and saw what was there. He loved and acknowledged both, but feeling the fear and pompous in Younger brother said little to him and completely ignored his tools and feilds of crops. Yet when he looked into Older brother whose heart was light and content with life, he took him aside. At this Younger brother grew enraged! How many hours he worked and slaved to establish himself, and for no recognition! He vowed that he would MAKE Older brother serve him and his ways, and then Spirit would have to talk to him. He vowed this without the knowledge that it was the heaviness of his heart, created by his ways that kept Spirit from him.
Spirit walked with Older brother and saw many many years ahead. Spirit asked "How is it you live so happily?" Older brother replied "I trust in you, and every day i am given what i need." Spirit asked then, "And how do you decide what paths to follow?" Older brother replied, "When a path makes me heavy, i must set it down. When a path makes my heart lift, i must follow." Spirit saw the Older brother was indeed wise from his years and told him of things to come.
"There will come a day when Younger brother forces his ways on you, and will make you forget your own. His heart is heavy, and he cannot stand to see yours so light. You remember that he is your brother, but Younger brother does not remember you. There will come a time when there is very little Older brother, and many many Younger brother and the earth will suffer from the heaviness of his ways and heart, and many of the wise will have the ways of the foolish taught and thrust upon them. There will be a time when all seems lost. But i have many children from many stars, who are wise and live as you. They may be different, but they remember the ways of living contentedly with what they have from a lifestyle of a light heart. Though Younger brothers ways may be heavily ingrained in you, my children of the stars will not be used to such heavy hearts. I will send them in your time of need, and they will remind you of the ways you are already wise in. Younger brother will not recognize them, but you will. He may call you lazy, or a drifter, but in your heart you will see and know them to be true. Younger brother takes pride in his heaviness, even though it drags him down and makes him unhappy. You will remember the ways of a content and happy heart when you see it, and you shall follow step. Younger brother will continue going backwards until he can no longer go backwards. Some will follow you when they see your lightness, other will take there heaviness to the next planet with calamity following them. When you you see the light of heart, unlike Younger brother, you will set your heaviness down and change your ways. By doing so you will teach Younger brother and save him."

Wall Space
The Spaces between walls
Compromising a situation will flow on by but compromising your self for a situation can never be given back. Accepting realities twists and turns or pulls and pushes allows awareness to see clearly and the tracks dont have to be derailed from the trains path. Group behavior can be simplified in this canalization. But i have no PHD, only threw lifes experiences do i have the realist grasp on these truths.
Only thing this knowledge is good for is answering those who ask the questions, seems that the separation of the generations is a strong one to break. Fear mostly controls the silence in these youthful minds, i guess the main concept will i be accepted for who i am who should i be so that i will fit in. These seem to be some of the basics for young white minded people.
So an opportunity has finally knocked at my motivation gear. the rush of new and unexplored territory makes my heart race, Hands shake in acceleration as the engine kicks over, this being loves to live for others, just spreading the love and showing actions of awareness and how they can help improve most gardens in heart and mind. To each their own, my mom always said mother said lifes bullshit. My thoughts wonder, if only the feeling of what i say could be felt before its heard, cause then there is no need to wonder and explain so much that seems like a puzzle with in words and phrazes.
I'm very impulsive if it sparks synapses in my brain and releases endorphins i chase the high, cause i love the feeling of flying. Its the same feeling as a great song just makes me wanna dance, body starts moving. Doesn't take me much to brighten up, Cause i know where ever i am its cause i wanted to be there, Experience the feeling of being known not really having to explain your self for my character complexity. Like being in a movie where every one knows every one been good friends for 10 or more years so there arent many tricks that havent been pulled out on the table. They are not the prettiest or nicest or richest or well behaved bundle of characters but there is heart, cause this is are created family. I cant speak for all of them but al ot of broken hearts, and mis trust., some got more of a home others got more side effects, together when we unite CAPTAIN PLANET... drifting again..

Tell Me About Your Journey……
I want to tell the story of one person over the age of 75 male or female once a week- I think for too long we have ignored the older generation, yeah it is true, we treat them like they just that, old? I want to gather stories of people who want to talk about what they did with their life, the path they chose to walk down, how they got where they are today, if they have regrets, what secrets to living a good/long life that they have to share! I want the stories to be funny, heartbreaking, even serious?
And I will need some pictures to go along with each story each week, not of the person I am writing about always, just pictures that would suit the theme of that person that week
