That most people would rather be fed, and live in fear, instead of using critical thinking.

That about 42% of Americans are waiting and voting for someone else to be responsible for them. They seem to still be clapping for Tinkerbell or waiting for Mighty Mouse to come and save the day........ well we see where that got us.

That in 2008, there is STILL so much unfounded [fear based] prejudice [due to lack of tolerance, and ignorance].

That some in society still  would rather go down with the ship than swim...

WE are who WE have been waiting for to save the day!

That so many still pick: war and threat of war over communication, fear over love, intolerance over understanding, greed, consumerism over innovative creativity, quantity over quality, laziness over thinking for ourselves, inauthenticity over authenticity.

of course I'm not refering to this community.....lol
 

The beauty of Nature.... and it's resiliance...

I used to be all over the place.... very reactionary.... sensitive souls are. But now knowing that most emotions are based on external circumstances, I am calmer....... I still love a good release cry, get angry, pissy from time to time... but now I'd like to say it's not for long periods of time. I now let my emotions flow with more grace... and dignity :-) not for others sake, but for myself.... it takes less energy, and I got thangs to do...

I used to be all over the place.... ooops, that was last comment, last week.... i used to get  physically ill, butterflied stomach pangs, panic, emotional overload and shutdown, whateverrrrrr.....Now, I feel my emotions, all of them...  I let them gracefully run their course... without too much time passing.... I let the feeling go, get it out of my system and then I get on with the bizzy-ness of living in the present and life itself.... I don't have time to be bogged down with external nonsense. Amazingly, I have no physical side-effects anymore.....

As for stress, Breathing always works... a yogini's mantra for calmness. Cleansing breath always detoxifies the body in times of drama and brings all organic systems back to a tranquil peaceful and healthy balance...

a miracle....
