Caring For Each Other
Wrath
“And no amount of love will keep it around
If we don’t choose it
And I don’t know what’s got its teeth in me
But I’m about to bite back in anger
No amount of self-sought fury
Will bring back the glory of innocence”

(Sleep Token lyrics from “Take Me Back To Eden”)
(This Is The Picture [Excellent Birds] – Peter Gabriel)
The Competition
“You’re actually considering being with her?
But she’s not already established like the rest of us – and further more…”
All Things Considered
One act today
Affects tomorrow
“Get In Line”
If We Committed
“There often seem to be forces conspiring against love.
Maybe if we kept trying equally, if not more so, love would overcome, afterall.”
(Signal To Noise – Peter Gabriel)
Supporting Each Other
(We’re Not Gonna Take It – Twisted Sister)
The Truth
“For as much as we try to reach for the light, we are suffering – more.”
America’s Freedom
The Wolf You Feed
Status Vs. Resources
“Aren’t they supposed to imply the same?”
Friends
Consumptionism
In a consumption-oriented society
Our worth is what we can produce
Parley’s Wildlife Overpass
We Are Told
“If we are innovative and valiant, we will succeed and be rewarded.
But it seems that the corrupt are validated while the good are pitted to fight in the colosseum.”
John Cleese: Extremism
(Higher – Sleep Token)
Behind The Curve
“How can one catch up if the marker keeps moving ahead?”
Closed Loop System
“Dead ends all around.”
We Are Prevented From Rising
“Would we use the power more wisely?”
Cancel Culture
“If influences continue to behave their ways, at some point, everyone will know everything about everybody.
Therefore, be sure to show your positive, inner light – in whatever form that may be (within bounds of ensuring your own safety) – instead of letting them chase us all into attempted hiding.”
Idle-Wild
What could we become if
We stopped the treadmill?
Humanity
Slavery, Racial Profiling, & Morality
(Where It Leads – Euan Ellis)
Justice
We long for times when
Wrongs are put to rights
Manipulation facing dictates
Of Hell’s wrath no longer late
Either recanting to obtain
Lost innocence reclaimed
Or gathered eaten whole for
Recycling of corrupted souls
Media Propagation
“It’s been very effective at dividing us from connection to others, parceling us down into vulnerable, independent units in order to direct our funds to their profits’ coffers.”
Laid To Rest
“There will be no UI funding, but at least (at last) I can put that conglomerate zombie to ground, dead and buried.
Rest in peace, you tyrannical haunt.
I’ll light a flame in your honor.”
Find Better Ways
“Terrorizing a person into seeking how to just live in each moment is an outdated and wasteful way to treat a human’s decency.”
Marriage Vows
“In sickness and in health.”
(Fear – Leo Faulkner)
(Almond Eyes – Brandon Lake)
Humans Being
What would we say to each other
If no longer labored in disruption?
How would we treat each other if
Acknowledged sisters / brothers?
(Little Whip – Daggy Man)
Roles
“We have lost our bearings without at least some good aspects to guide our growth by.”
I Knew Myself
“I knew I was worthy of love, even if I couldn’t feel it.
Yet they were treating me this way, caught up in their own past internal disregulated programmings.”
Child Custody
“They use this term to mean which parents have which kids at which times.
But for a child who is unwanted, negated, disregarded, and neglected – and maybe only used only to get access to a younger sibling – the term can mean repeated sentences of termed incarceration with torment.”
(Roll To Me – Del Amitri)
I Was Thinking
“If there are only a few to a handful of people whose opinions really matter to any one of us, then why are we so chock full of social anxiety?
Leading By Example: Humpback Whales
Biting Back
“An art in itself, if we wish to survive.”
I Miss It
“The neutrality of living anonymously – for now all of us are getting more categorized.”
Respect
Disagreements from
Different perspectives
How do we acknowledge in ways that are
Mutually empowering rather than divisive?
Disrimination
“A beloved told me today that a lovely trans cashier was treated horribly during their customer service.
The customer put change down on the counter, refusing to hand it to them or push it closer, stating, ” You people can’t even reach for change!”
Another Driving Escapade
“A driver was riding my end too close, so I swerved to the side to get her off of me.
She decided to slow down and ugly-yell at me, ‘You should’ve turned on your turn signal!’
So I called back, ‘But you were up on my end!’
Whereupon, she drove off and kept griping out loud to herself.”
“Howdy!”
“I inclusively greeted another woman pulling behind her belongings as I shuttled my suitcase into the building to prepare for clients.
As she passed the entrance that I had just gone through, it seened that she over-the-shouldered flung out, ‘That was a criminally insensitive thing to say to me, laced with deeper meanings.’
She must’ve been having a very bad day, indeed.”
