It's not just ABC and the corporate interest that are in double-trouble and require personal reflection of the consequences of their 'expressions' in the public arena...
I am admitting the reading of 'thought' here is so trans-formative, in what I 'view' good nourishment for the soul...
Sometimes I feel almost ill from such delicious and rich delight of chocolate candy-sensation?
I agree with 'letter' comments that knock-me to the blue-cheese-moon that smiles back at me--That's powerful!
I mean a cleansing patter of rain on my tin-roof transfixed me toward a dream THAT I was keyboarding in my sleepy state. Then, I remember that law-guy Mahatma Gandhi said, "I can't respect a person that agrees with me 100% of the time." I agree and disagree in a respectful attitude too. 'Letter' writers here are spectacular, imo. It's possible to be in good double-danger dose of love? What a healing-place. Serious.
We touch interwoven themes: child wounds, war hurts, lies rooted in corporate unhealthy greed. A Mr. P.R., a Sage/Fool, a G.G. (some times I wish he'd have an alias nickname too, say, "Yellow Cat Bulldozer?" or "Nit-Center, Doc-Elmer, 'FUD' Dis-Ease-guy, Pick-Control, Tooth-PAC-Man"), but I'm saying to everybody what partial "cures" for our sick national situation is taking place, imho.
By health, in other words, the absence of severe dis-Ease. Helpers here, who care about the nation present personal insight experiences, are spectacular band-aids that are beneficial. No one surgical Mr. P.R. can "cure" all cancer. Who has time to read the entire written voluminous "scoop" of stacked-high info., (?) No one. But I'm thankful for some restorative calm that's absorbed within me. No "dust-off"...Thanks.
To be healthy is to yearn for wholeness. Health does have to consider a overlap of many themes/subjects that shows a consideration and inclusion of all citizens. 'Health' comes from the consideration of respectful feelings/attitude toward everyone. No exceptions. Which means to me, all of us can become potentially, and ongoing, moving forward, not regressing, Healthier.
The notion of a healthy individual or a larger national body-politic is derived from the meaning-substance...ingredients being mixed, NOT horded. And HEALTH comes from a 'family-of-words'...with a family-Root...: Hale, Hallow, Holy. I'm saying thanks.
It's NOT a praise that's undeserved, and sometimes a person holds-back a lavished praise because most of the time a compliment goes to fill our 'haughty' head. Next, we forget to tie our boot lace and we/I stumble down the stairs?
My original thought was elsewhere when I began. I was just glad for yesterday, and then a cleansing night rain. It's a nice ritual to go on the porch after waking, and (no-yes) drink a glass of fresh water that absorbed the night-time air and moon-rays of light. It's a simple ritual. Fill a glass of bubbly water and sit it on the covered porch table. Then, first thing in the morn, drink it slowly down...
Then, after the thirst-quench is complete, (yes) sit all chubby-like at the keyboard in response to cleansing thought-nourishment and enjoy 'thought' from the many diverse others.
We gain weight here? Maybe (inter-are-'if') I'll come back, maybe not. I need to jog 'round the woodshed.
It's nice to have nothing to say, too.
