in light of recent events still unfolding in this dark hour on Wednesday morning, May 22nd I am compelled to promote my thoughts and and some reflection on the tornadic event and the sudden tragic loss befalling so many this week.
I recall hearing how we here in the United States receive more than 75% of the world's tornadoes and the bulk of them being in the Great Plains/Midwest sector in places like Kansas, Oklahoma, North Texas, Arkansas, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Missouri, Iowa, Louisiana, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee. No where on this planet is there more likely to be some form of devastation from tornadoes and their effects on homes and lives. But I have a question that most would not like to hear. At the same time my heart goes out to all who have suffered and their families in this trying time...
why?
Why do we build houses on cliffs that end in mudslides in California and why do we build homes on the Gulf Coast of the US on stilts at the beach only to find them washed away with erosion from the hurricanes during June to November? Why do we build homes on the plateaus where we are meant to have animals roam and live only to throw the dice on a roulette wheel of nature and watch it all get whisked away? And why do we use viable and safe lands to hold golf tournaments? Why not put the homes there? Let the elite play roulette...it is a rich man's game isn't it?...
this destruction cries out for understanding. We now have millions of families without home, food, clothing, selves and jobs...And we need to provide for them (not that the government will genuinely do that in a timely manner, because the longer they sit on their hands, the more likely the middle and poverty class will roll up our sleeves to do their job while profits skyrocket for the globe's largest companies as they cry impoverished pleas for tax breaks and incentives, all while taking grandiose vacations, thus allowing the unlearned masses the opportunity to point fingers at the politicians and further distracting from doing what is necessary to do)...
So what do we do? At one point do you say let's just get'er done? Don't like socialism? Don't like democracy? Don't like monarchy? Don't like totalitarianism? Get used to it because I have seen socialists that work better than republics and republics that work better than monarchy and monarchy that works better than democracy and democracy that works better than socialism. No one way is correct. NO person is using their head. And all are guilty of shortsighted visual acuity.
What we need to do is get back to a place where a dollar, euro, peso, rupee, lire, dinar are all worth a damn. Stop letting 50 people run this world from the unattainable golden chair while looking down upon us all and telling us what we SHOULD and MUST do. Stop fueling the lifestyles of these people and start thinking again and listening again to your bodies and hearts and souls...
my heart is sad. I have friends out there and even family in Kansas. We have lost so much and now it will cost us more, as a humanity, not as a monetary thing. Children taught to huddle who were crushed to death and man and wife clinging to each other cowering over their children, their infants to protect them-whole families destroyed! What does all this earthly collateral tell you about us as a people? What karmic forces are at play here and why take the innocent? Why not windy-whirly blow the fuck out of D.C. and some of the elite? Is it that the meek will truly inherit the earth but only after the undeserved have wrecked it?
Global warming be damned. I see an ice age ahead...I see water levels rising and temperatures rising, but I see the snow pulling back on the jaws of mountaintops like the receding gums of the wolf before he strikes! A cold wind of change is coming and will you be ready to pitch in to change the world? To change the lives and the way we live so everyone gets a fair chance and no child, dog, hamster, grandfather shall perish? Probably not, but now at least you know I am just one more who is disgusted with this...like it or not it is a disdainful week for many and until we can understand what forces are at play here it will all be for naught!
Dorothy found her way home the way she left, with puppy in tow...we dont' have a wizard to tell us to click our shoes...and this isn't just about Kansas anymore...~mobe's love to her all and her all to her loves
