DEAR SELF

TEAR DOWN THE WALL

BREATH

"You begin by breath control, by breathing to certain paces, and the breath is very curious … The notion is that emotion and feeling and state of mind are related to breath. When you are at rest, the breathing is in a nice, even order. When you are stirred with shock, the breathing changes. With passion the breathing changes. Change the breathing, and you change the state." (Joseph Campbell)

What do Trade Unionism, Elliott Smith, Sly and the Family Stone, twentieth century avant-garde music, the Lord’s Prayer, Johannes Bach, John Coltrane, Malcolm X, music downloading, Aesop Rock, the demise of print journalism, NPR and The Wire all have in common?

REFLECTION

I really wish I knew who created this piece. I received it from a friend the other day and it startled me - like seeing a thought/feeling outside my brain. poetry.

MY TWO CENTS

I think we need to stop. STOP. and really recognize where we are....take a deep breath, and have compassion for our past ignorance....THEN move forward with open eyes, ears & minds, engaging in a cooperative and collaborative dialogue with each other and our environment.

We have evolved to a point that anything else seems absolutely absurd and knowingly destructive. WTF?

DO IT!
