HAPPINESS…Is To Contemplate

No matter whether you are youth or elder,  reflect back on each day and remember. Like an architect we  move moments in a mixture of low points and highlights that take shape in what matters in our journey through time.

We discover in bits and pieces the hardship and kinship which make up the building blocks of a life in the process of living.

Like jugglers we toss tangibles and intangibles into a universe that pitches the known and the unknown, challenging our person to meet the task of the century.

We may think that negative equals  ‘Hell’  before we master that conflict or incomplete thing. We learn that positive equals  ‘Heaven’  after we have resolved that conflict or completed that something.

Because solving & resolving problems takes long periods of time;  where the few moments of resolution last so briefly;  makes us feel we’re living in  ‘Hell’  longer than  ‘Heaven.’

The reward may come in spurts for coping or accomplishing and the price for learning may be dear……BUT never forget, that the trip may be  ‘Hell’  but the finished product is  HEAVEN!

‘California Gold’

If you’re lucky enough to live in the state of California, you struck  ‘gold.’

The hearty hand from a bear hug of a man graciously escorted you from highways to skyways over towns & woods touching the hearts and souls of its people.

Enroute he led with ease and simplicity across  ‘mother earth’ and all her inhabitants. Whether trees, rocks or streams, they joined in the chorus of living things.  Buildings came to life in  tribute to human lives of toil and sacrifice.  People who might never have been known, were seen and heard.

What else could that touch of  ‘gold’  light up but only the  face of an ‘angel’…… our one and only beloved  ‘HUELL HOWSER.’   He gave us beauty, we honor his peace.

FRIENDS and FANTASY Come In The Darndest Pkgs!

FINS…FEATHERS…FOUR LEGGEDS…& Two Leggeds TOO?

I SIT HERE  in the middle of a forest where woods and streams surround me. The overwhelming growth consumes me as my limitations in perceiving things frantically attempt to make an immediate capture.

I begin naming things. That’s a leaf…a branch…a tree…a brook…the sky. Time and again I catch myself, for to look at that same flower without any name, I begin to see miniature worlds of wonder.

Once merely a rock riddled with algae, now becomes a moss covered palace of velvet green splendor. The trees become instruments of a mighty orchestra. The streams and brooks become the voice of a thundering chorus. The sky becomes maestro in shading and lighting.

I STAND  in the middle of civilization with a busy metropolis surrounding me. I find myself thinking…buildings…traffic…people.

When I look again, buildings become variations of fascinating form, traffic becomes a symbol of our threatening yet ever changing norm.

Instead of seeing people, I see individual persons. Masses of gender suddenly appear in likeness of one another yet difference in character. When I look very closely, I see in one single human form all the combinations of these masses in miniature.

Males look like females who look like males and females look like males who look like females.

I see with amazement how this very sight models the schools of fish in the ocean, each looking different yet resembling the other. I can see in birds, plants and animals, themselves as relatives to the ‘whole scheme’ of things.

Everywhere I go I see reflections of myself and others.  I am warmed by the statement  ‘humans are created equal’ yet I am cooled by the devastating ‘hole’ it has left in the WHOLE of humankind. We are created equal ONLY in the way that we are equipped with the same basic tools, we are not equals in the way in which we use them.   Authored By Lane   www.motionOsis.com

CELEBRATE !!!

Hello……I’m Lane and here is my New Year’s ‘toast’ to that world out there.

Humans who occupy this planet would best make every day like a holiday in the way of celebrating our purpose here and that is alerting ourselves to act in helping the needs of others.

Opportunity lies in abundance awaiting each one of us to fill a void.  There are countless ways to GIVE in RESPECT for or CARING about others.

I greet each day with the thinking of what ‘good deed’ could I do today?  Remember……people make people sick and people make people well.

There is nothing to lose in spreading GOOD WILL.  Try it you might like it!

24 HRS IN AMERICA – Pick Your Poison!

KILL – RAPE – MURDER – AUTO ACCIDENTS – ROBBERIES – GLOBAL UNREST

PICK YOUR POISON!!!

*Morning Radio/TV news & shows quickly romance the slaughter.

*Evening TV news & shows elaborate the massacre.

*Late nite shows laugh the horror into escapism.

*Finally comes sleep of overactive dreaming to compensate for the unjust reality of  everyday life.

How do we motivate the masses to join our military when they come home to the absence in care for the emotionally disturbed to the hungry helpless homeless vet, living under a bridge?

How can we raise a family when a child is kidnapped, molested & murdered, when the killer can live in our neighborhoods with the restriction they can’t go within 500 ft  of a school or any child?

How do young boys protect themselves from predators who live & work in the hallowed halls of our institutions of church and school?

How does a woman defend herself from violence/rape when state laws disallow her responsible training in the use of pepper spray or sting guns?

How do we allow KILL instead of SKILL driving on our roads & highways?

How do we birth a human being only to send the innocent lambs to a society that slaughters?

How can a small business survive against white collar crime?

How can religion be expected to be our entire safety net?

Does anybody see the GREEN in all this?  The opportunity to design new industries that  implement apprenticeship style training to fill positions that go further than infrastructure.  Rather the infiltration into our American society which focuses on PREVENTION of crime, mental illness, hunger, homeless, etc;

The magnitude of worldly consequences from humankind’s actions throughout the centuries is charging us with its DEBT in this 21st century in a roaring global onslaught.

Welcome to FREEDOM in America….or should I say welcome to what might be left of Planet Earth!      Lane       www.motionOsis.com

SANDY! Meet ‘Mother Nature’ The Dictator.

Takes a storm the caliber of SANDY whose unwelcome wrath and rude awakening DEMANDS bipartisanship.

We have a 2 1/2 Billion Dollar brutal political campaign infested with sick negativism and solving no problems whatsoever.  AND now meet ‘Sandy.’

We do all live on this planet earth together and it takes a STORM to sober us up and reach out a helping hand?  How many more HITS does this planet have to take before this human race puts their egos and biases aside?

We’re all on one planet together that’s spinning around in the universe where catastrophic events could at its will, demolish each and every living thing on it!  If so, what political party, race, religion, culture or gender will matter then?

‘Sandy’ has given this United States the strongest message any disaster could muster,

LOVE-LEARN-LIVE and GROW as an INTELLIGENT SPECIES!

STOP YOUR PSYCHOSIS,  START NEW NEUROSIS,  GO “MOTIONOSIS.”

MEDIA MANIA……MAYDAY!…MAYDAY!

Freedom of speech or freedom of decay. Has the rot so permeated our society that we don’t know the difference between destruction and production?

How have we allowed JOURNALISTIC JUNK to rule our universe? Journalism once practiced truth allowing only facts that supported it. Today they voice the degradation of our society for the sake of ratings. PROOF? Negative has become our daily dose, positive has become our history.

Political rhetoric rages thru our networks as MEDIA JUNKIES thrive on mass chaos provoking riot! The ‘Great American Ripoff’ sucking billions of bucks $$$ raping our rights, preventing the fulfillment of human needs.

Is our  236 YR old USA so young it cannot learn from societies thousands of years old? How dare we allow ourselves as a nation to abuse one another breeding poverty, crime, corruption! Is HOPE as far as we get solving our problems?

Out here, not on the Hill, WE KNOW that there exists heroes among us. WE KNOW as ordinary people when we extend ourselves we can do extraordinary things. WE KNOW that next door or down the street our friends and neighbors are sick and tired of STINKING THINKING!

WAKE UP AMERICA, Hollywood is no longer in Beverly Hills California, it’s in Washington D.C.!

WAKE UP WASHINGTON, abolish parties and have one BIG PARTY ‘The American People’!

Reform the political process minus the media and go internet direct to ‘MainStreet USA.’

Banish obsolete voting methods using new technology for identity via thumbprints or eye photos.

Educate the youth w/mandatory subjects teaching a thinking of bringing opposing forces to common ground. Demonstrate the consequences of the do’s & don’ts in governing a country, a state, a city or town.

America, become the ‘Ambassadors’ of your country back to your country and when you stand beside your AMERICAN FLAG, you will know you took your country back.
