'E Pluribus Unum' and I


The melting pot. The USA a sad story of hypocrisy, murder and greed .... or
just the ongoing struggle for the uplift in our own lives, the daily doing our best,
the daily doing our best being joined by a million others. 'Of the people, by the people,
for the people, life liberty and the pursuit of happiness'

'Keep moving!'
'If you can't fly, run.
'If you can't run, walk.
'If you can't walk, crawl.
Keep moving!'

MLK October 26, 1967

  Some say here in 2020, there are too many complaining voices, where is the gratitude? Perhaps if I hear the hollowness sometimes in my own voice. How you doing? 'Blah blah I have a cold, boohoo.'
Then you hear someone say .. "Great!" with such conviction and I might think what is it about someone who can come right there no matter what and be 'Great!' Wow! I wish I had that, a bit more of that... Power! Yes!

  I can post JFK videos or MLK videos with the most uplifting stuff known to man and no one
gives a damn about my posts on FB. Why? Some emptiness still waiting to be filled. Some space in the making of a human that can't fake it... that no matter how much the Torch can be seen ....

“These are the times for real choices, not false ones. We are at the moment when our lives must be placed on the line if our nation is to survive its own folly. Every man of humane convictions must decide on the protest that best suits his convictions, but we all must protest.”

Beyond protest, we must Demonstrate as we use our lives as examples.

"We have met the enemy and he is Us!" So we discover Power. We wake up and remove the cynic robe of non-participation, spectator sport BS and get local.

It is not about Race. It is about Life on Earth. It is about our won choices in Conserving Life on Earth
and it requires a sense of place, it requires the ability to spread out your roots and our happiness.
