A Change Is Gonna Come
Sam Cooke, one of the greatest vocalists, and A Change Is Gone Come, one of the greatest songs. He sings, "I don't know what's up there beyond the sky." I don't know what is "out there" either. But I do know as the Eastern Namaste cultures know that there is the divine in each of us. The Buddha taught that each of us has a buddha nature. And Jesus said "The kingdom of God is within you."
I hope to live to see us look here, within ourselves, not waiting for up there or out there, and make the change come for the suffering people in this world. Helping them and being stewards over the earth are our only sacred duties.
My generation was going to change away from Mr. Businessman and war and to save the world but look at what the Boomers' lifetimes have included. I sum it up with BMWs and Iraq, and now Citizens United and the repeal of the guts of the Voting Rights Act.
Is Change Gone Come? We are the only ones who can make it so.
A reminder
Reminding us that we had warnings decades ago about the real nature and real agenda of the Republican Party. Too bad we did not heed the message and band together to prevent their ascension to power.
I confess I was blind and duped, after having been a radical leftie in my younger days, seduced by the intellectual brand of Republican, all of whom are dead and gone and ignored by today's body-snatched Republican Party. But Reagan kicked off his 84 re-election campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi, a town known for absolutely nothing except the murders of the three Civil Rights Workers, James Earl Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Mickey Schwerner, by the KKK. And look at Nixon's racist "Southern Strategy". Tokens like the totally not racist Jack Kemp also dead and gone.
Will Rogers said, "I am not a member of any organized political party - I am a Democrat." Well, let's get organized and run the racist idiots who have perverted the meaning of Christianity, want an American Taliban, and who literally hate the poor and cheer at the thought of the uninsured dying, let's run them out of town, out of the country, off the planet at least to little Pluto, and maybe out of this galaxy.

I personally know members of the party of Lincoln who applaud his assassination. These people are worse than biting, poisonous insect. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies. I am trying, but failing and I pray for the strength to learn to do that.
Nature's child, a white wolf
This white wolf, this child of God is so beautiful. Look at her face, her eyes. I only wish I could safely hold her in my arms. Just seeing her and knowing she is out there brings me such joy, better than any drug could ever do, a rush of love, euphoria, passion, a gift to me from the beauty of Nature.
We must SAVE THE WOLVES!
