Wonderful poem

of course I can’t hear the words Blue Moon and not think of Elvis.

Not just being able to laugh at oneself, but also the nature and frequency – the range and variation of humour able to be expressed.

 

Because it’s not just about the ability to read and express emotions and limit social capablity to being able to merely respond in kind or in proportion.

 

But also the ability to display a complexity and nuances, a variety of behaviours and not come across as rigid or stiff and uncomfortable. Behavioral markers people should be paying attention to in their would be political, religious, workplace or social group leaders.

 

We know enough history and enough about behavioural psychology to be vigilant at the ballot boxes to ensure that the citizens will never need to be armed against the government.

 

and the measure of a civilization is not the technology or the complexity of production of wealth.

 

but in the quality of life of the citizens and the social contract being fair, equitable and easy for each person individually and sub groups collectively to be able to work and play well with each other in a way that every person has the ability and access to opportunities to work at their best and fullest capacity in accordance with their interest and effort.

 

to have shelter and food security, basic survival to be so assured a given as to really not be a worry.

because if you have to worry about your literal survival on a daily basis. then that’s unjust and unsupportable in a global awareness community.

 

and there’s really no excuse for anyone individual or nation to be isolationist when the world is literally and meaningfully accessible to you on your fucking cell phone or computer or other net gadget.

 

Invented by atheists and gays. seriously. we’re scientists, inventors, artists.

 

we make your world worth living and fun

 

so think about that the next time you say that we don’t know what love is all about.

 

because the piece of paper that marriage is and the rights that they trigger

 

don’t compare to what love is really about and commitment

but you know, holding hands and comforting people is a natural and a platonic possibility.

 

We all need a human touch – whether that’s sex or cuddling or just a hug from a freind.

 

It’s part of our emotional and physical health to hear or feel other people’s hearts beating against our own heart beat.

 

it’s partly how we transfer love and affection to each other and there are many kinds of love and many ways of expressing affection appropriately across those relationships and the emotional quality and depth between people.

 

It all comes back to being in a relationship with someone who wants to make you happy as a normal part of their day.

 

not someone who is willing to cause you worry and distress passive agressively or more active in the hurtful factors.

 

and if you aren’t wanting to make…

Okay to fine
fine to good
then it’s all

good to better from there on ever.

just saying

I’m sitting here
feelin’ just fine
sun is rising, sleepy
twitters are beginning.
My day starts with a poem
and a grateful heart
unfolding moment by moment
until at night I go to bed
having lived a day made
perfect by a poem
and a grateful heart.

Agoraphobic Philosopher says:

People post a lot of things on facebook that reveal an awful lot about themselves as people. More often than not, far more than they ever release.

So one thing that I have noticed that people post about is their challenges in life.

So I would like to share one of mine.

Today I learned that the absolutely most scary combination of words to say in the whole of the English Language, whatever version of English that you use.

I am scared and I need help.

And the reason I know that is because I just had a panic attack that was so mild and safe for me, that I was finally able to WHISPER THOSE WORDS in the safety of my bedroom, in my own house that I share with Rhonda K. Jackson and Lorne Szmek and their daughter Dayel.

Because Lorne has gone to work and Rhonda’s sleeping. So I am the responsible adult in the house for a nine year old child and I can’t be having crying sobbing screaming running around the house in a panic kind of attack under the circumstances.

So being responsible to other people in addition to being in a loving and supportive environment with Rhonda who I worked with 12 years ago at another abusive corporate culture department. I mean, I am at home on disability from Department number 7 of the ones that I worked at over 13 years.

and it amazing to me to see the difference in health, physically at least that is discernible from the two videos.
but the happiest video that I made was this one for my Mom, doing my Grandmother’s favorite song and I sang it in my best Anne Murray!
I’ve been getting so much practise with story telling and joking around with my roommates that I have really gotten my sense of humour back – and that’s the most critical element to mental health. That I even tried to work out a actual stand up comedian routine so I made a comedy video, based on a short script that I had written several years ago for a now defunt Vancouver acting comedy group, The Sweet Tarts.
Because your sense of humour is also where your sense of perspective and sense of proportionality comes from.
if you can’t laugh at yourself, then you don’t get to laugh at others.
Because if all you do is laugh at others, then you are a bully. It’s that plain and simple.
In any case, your sense of humour allows you to cope, find ways to be happy and find joy regardless of your circumstances.

That’s not blowing smoke nor being Pollyanna neither.

 

Although, Haley Mills was my first baby dyke crush before I discovered Kristy MacNicol in Little Darlings!

 

 

aaaaa Little Darlings……

anger is generally a symptom of believing that one has been unjustly treated

I find that considering the other person’s POV and an honest look at yourself through their eyes

often negates anger because of the just sense you get from really understanding another person’s POV

and to be fair. sometimes other people’s POV are in fact entirely unjust

and can be more or less disregarded. depending on the context and circumstances that are particular to anyone’s specific situation.

You give me not what I want.
My anger is unjust for how
can you give me what you do not have?
I must not let your aged body
blind me to your young soul.
Fruit ripens slowly on the tree;
the one at fault, is clearly me.
