New collaborative approach for B. C., Canada
”’We went through it thoroughly yesterday,” said Scott McClellan, the White House press secretary, somewhat testily after being badgered recently about the Cheney hunting accident. ”It is what it is, and I think it’s time to move on.”

An absolute, explicative, all or nothing statement like f*** it!
Our society does not know what this simple phrase expresses or does to those who embrace it.
It is more than just a phrase, it is a sad attitude to have about life.
We all resort to simple solutions to avoid facing our limitations…
Like a cry for help or throwing up the hands, more use of the phrase needs more acceptance, more patience, more learning, laughing and living…
Less giving up or quitting on ourselves and others…
Become an optimist,
All in, making a commitment to self, family and friends, neighbours, community and being a world citizen or living the ‘good life’.
Reclaiming health, wealth and contentment in a day to day way.
Being willing to let go of control when the choice is best.
Turning from self to others when causing harm, apparent when doing something that seems part of my life at the time.
Being aware when I feel something and teaching myself to act on it without doing myself or others wrong.
Maintaining a balance between what will produce a healthy outcome and maintain my needs or wants without creating a problem.
Making it my job to obtain optimum health, wealth and contentment, but learning when I am better accepting less, sometimes less is more.
‘Caring of the Soul’, a responsible way of being that is a job that produces outcomes ‘good’ for myself and others and the environment.
An ongoing attempt to grow a life of wholeheartedness.
Where to go, what to know, and how to see the world right now.

Wunderlust is to be a little mad or obsessed about travel.
There is so many beautiful places to be.
Grab your chair and spend a few minutes to read and see 20 distinctions from around the world.
Living ‘the good life’, in a negative way,
At the expense of ‘the child in the closet’. It is in the closet, sitting in it’s own excrement.
Is this story a Utopia or Dystopia?
Are we living an idealized life that is keeping the world in the closet?
Is this a contract between the few and the many? Our own western civilization and the world?
Le Guin’s “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”
Learn to Judge not , abandon not,
Stay in this Utopia and try to find love and support for ‘it’, the child…

In this dialogue, two people discuss what it means to be human.
Human: Hey man, I really like the sign in your back window.
Trans: Thanks man, do you fight for human rights?
H: Ya, I mean, a little all the time. Especially when someone is acting like a fool, goof, or a real pain.
T: Well, if you are keen, you better call me by my first name, Taylor.
H: Cool, you can call me Michael.
T: I like the way you say that. So, when I fight for human rights, I call them ‘Trans’ because some people think I’m less than human, hence the sign on the back window of my car.
H: The sign says that Trans are human rights. Maybe, it should read People need Trans rights.
In this dialogue, the Greek, Socrates, discusses the ‘death of Christmas’ with Mother Nature.
Socrates: First, I want to make it clear that I do not understand Christmas.
Mother Nature: Either do I, all the religions of the world, all have the same thoughtful virtues and holiday in their belief systems. They celebrate their beliefs. But somehow, humanity, is still unaware of their destructiveness towards me.
S: Don’t you think we need to hear from people who were there? You know, the super natural son of God, Jesus Christ?
M.N.: No, I am supernatural enough at the moment. Humanity has enough problems at the moment. Don’t you think?
S: Yes, we have enough problems too. First, let me say, we mean no disrespect to Christmas, God or Jesus Christ. Or any other religion, group or individual. And second, the death of Christmas may be thousands of years away. And who has the certainty to know anything that complex? More importantly, you are more of a problem.
M.N.: True, I represent the spirit of earth and the spirit of all that entails. It is a huge short cut that many find hard to believe.
S: And the point is to talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
M.N.: This is true. Every person, group, culture, and religion values giving or helping others. And to represent this as such is pretty important too.
S: And, I think I’d like to say, happy holiday to everybody.
M.N.: Me too, and I hope you all practise helping each other and doing no harm.
S: Me too.
Proper Use Of Impression
Pilcrow
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilcrow
My writing philosophy is about being honest, authentic and using the proper use of impressions. I also use the pilcrow as my symbol because it most closely represents my new thoughts or ideas.
I believe that is more than grammatical or structural as in “The first way to divide sentences into groups in Ancient Greek…” To me, podcasts are representations of monologues and dialogues which also originated in Ancient Greece with the dawning of Western Civilization.
I think multimedia, in all its forms, including vids on platforms like YouTube and WordPress, are useful tools to demonstrate dialogue or plays.
It is important to recognize the advancement in knowledge through language and technology. But to express the traditions from the past using forms and symbols that still capture thoughts and ideas that call on both individuals and groups to engage and become friends.
I hope to transmit self and ideas through argument or thought that can retain meaning and purpose through philosophy, knowledge, understanding and belief.
We all suffer from a deep need to know, understand and to be understood.
Please, become aware and support the effort.
To keep working on writing, photography, philosophy and general interest like poetry,
To be a practitioner of principles that show peace, compassion and simplicity in day to day living and the proper use of impressions,
To read, write, listen, research, watch, touch, taste and see…
To become and be a better person, perhaps experience, hope and strength to ‘do no harm,
To practice making more blog entries to inform, entertain and engage all of you.
Thanks for your experience, strength and hope,
Best Regards from me to you and yours…
