Truths, Sorrow, Rocks and a gratful beauty found...
I have thought about how discouraging it is that Americans are headed down this manipulated, sugar coated, plastic, polished, fake teeth (real teeth add character to a persons face) lifestyle. I used Art Garfunkel, as an example. I love is song “why worry” one of my all time favorites (I will put a link to the song one the bottom click the title on the side of the player listen to it, BEAUTIFUL)! No offence Art, but he is not attractive by today’s standards. That is so sad to think about him with such talent, being rejected if he was to try to be recognized for his talents in this age. If he was, he would not be seen by the public, he would produce music sung or lip sang by some pretty perfect imaged personality, with not as much talent. I spoke of all the shows about how perfect your home should look as well. My theory as to why Americans are this way is because they fail to be able to see the world for what it really is. Face the ugliness of war, poverty and offences against humans and other living things. It is much easier on the eyes and mind to look at this false façade of what is beautiful, it is out of control! They are so wrapped up in “Living the Life”, “keeping up with the Jones’s” to see and try to help make a change. Oh, other then the going green fad. Yes, I said fad! I do know that for many it is a true eye opener, don’t get me wrong. Those of you that live in my area will get this. I live in Meridian on the Eagle border in yuppiville (I do not like it and can‘t wait to get out of the suburbs). I was in target the other night and this woman was in front of me, she was very polished and fit the “Eagle Image” to a tee. She paid for her goods and after they had all been bagged she loudly stated “NO! I DO NOT USE PLASTIC BAGS, THEY ARE NOT GREEN, TAKE IT ALL OUT”. As she walked off with her head held high, I wounded how many Chinese children had to work on all her accessories and hand bags; she carried her stuff off in? I could keep going you get it, or I hope that you do. So here is my main thought; I am sure that you have all heard the term the collective SUB-conscious, I think that there is a collective conscious that is encouraging this behavior. Then I wondered how all of us regular people’s conscious minds are going to be able to keep up and live happy with ourselves because we have no funds or desires to play that part. GREAT SORROW!
I am guilty of wanting to look better myself. What can I say; all girls need to feel pretty, it is embedded in our instincts. Not fake though, just a healthier version of myself.
Ok then I took my kids to a dinner picnic and swim at the river tonight. As they swam, I leaned up against a tree read and listened to my ipod. What I was reading required thought and time to digest. I looked up and in front of me was a large rock, with a paved path that was Y shaped around it, leading to the river bank. I wondered was the path created around it or was it placed there so perfectly? As I looked for signs, I started thinking about rocks in general. They are all around and taken for granted. I starting thinking more about where it came from geologically and if it was a part of a much larger rock or a piece of a mountain? Where it had traveled from to get there in the perfect place. I really felt a tremendous respect for the geology of earth and for the rocks themselves, for they erode and with that erosion; the release of their minerals. The minerals that nurture growth in vegetation that feeds us in the form of the vegetation and the animals that provide the meat that we eat (I know not the only source). How our bodies need these minerals to work properly and how the cycle of life is so beautiful. It is just like the flowers that I grow; I worship their beauty and wish that it would last forever. Yet, knowing that they must go to make room for the next beautiful flower to grow and be admired. I found great peace in all these thoughts by the river. I watched my children happy, smiling and laughing enjoying it as well. Life is so beautiful and we are so blessed to be witness to it all. Just think of all the species of birds and their beauty, they are gifts.
I wish that instead of wanting to fit a perfect image we could just except each others uniqueness and beauty and the gift of our ever so beautiful EARTH home, work together not against each other.
