Perception...

Its about perception...

listen... its not that reality doesn't exist... it does, but what we perceive as reality is a reality of our own...
though because we interact we share similarities and a common "reality"
listen, what we don't see, can't perceive is reality...
fear guides us,
fear blinds us
that is reality
its hard not to find guidance and comfort in fear...
because we really don't want to see...
don't want to see whats over the edge

but what if whats over the edge is... the end

the end is relative...

to what...

to your personal reality.

The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti

The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti

President becomes UN Special Envoy to earthquake-stricken Haiti.

A born-again neo-conservative US business wheeler-dealer preacher claims Haitians are condemned for making a literal ‘pact with the Devil.’

Venezuelan, Nicaraguan, Bolivian, French and Swiss rescue organizations accuse the US military of refusing landing rights to planes bearing necessary medicines and urgently needed potable water to the millions of Haitians stricken, injured and homeless.

Behind the smoke, rubble and unending drama of human tragedy in the hapless Caribbean country, a drama is in full play for control of what geophysicists believe may be one of the world’s richest zones for hydrocarbons-oil and gas outside the Middle East, possibly orders of magnitude greater than that of nearby Venezuela.

Natal...

In an interesting juxtaposition, I visited the link below, a press page about Microsofts newest gadget, an add-on to the X-Box called Natal, translates to"rebirth", Natal a virtual gaming structure, a box that scans and captures player movements allowing the player to participate as if immersed in the gaming environment perhaps only a few years before ...

Surrogates (2009)

Thrash The Walls

i am… we are…

not free when we submit to conformity…

freedom is not the ability to buy what you want, to live where you want, to be friends with whom you want, to worship, read, see, hear and speak what you want…

freedom is… simply

to walk your path.

conformity isn’t a bad thing…

it just isn’t freedom.

conformity is…

comforting.

an infant struggles to walk it’s own path, only to be nestled in the bosom of social conformity, barriers built by others that are eventually it’s own, to keep itself…

conformed.

some of us wonder of a latent desire we sometimes can’t define…

it is freedom, to walk our path.

we stray, return bruised, wounded from thrashing the walls we’ve built and carefully placed to block our path…

look back to see they’ve moved, widening your path of conformity, suddenly revealing a hint of what we all seek…

our own path…

should we accept conformity because it is comforting…

or forever thrash the walls.
