auto bailout

AUTO BAILOUT

I’m so sick of this erroneous pandering to the oil industry that has crippled the big three’s planning. All they need to do is retrofit all their vehicles and production lines to create ZERO CARBON vehicles. They can even make a profit retrofitting any and all vehicles to run, again, ZERO CARBON. There is only one reason they won’t do it completely although they tell everyone they can’t sell those cars or those retrofits. Who reading this won’t pay to have their cars run without any carbon emissions? Of course the crisis is due to the credit market slump but this is an opportunity to make American vehicles the most sought after and make us energy independent.
While we’re on ZERO CARBON, every structure, as in buildings or homes, should not only emit its own energy it should profit from the generating OF ZERO CARBON energy.

do u get your daily Dharma?

Coming Back
For some, [the] task of coming back a thousand or ten thousand times in meditation may seem boring or even of questionable importance. But how many times have we gone away from the reality of our life?--perhaps a million or ten million times! If we wish to awaken, we have to find our way back here with our full being, our full attention. . . In this way, meditation is very much like training a puppy. You put the puppy down and say, "Stay." Does the puppy listen? It gets up and runs away. You sit the puppy back down again. "Stay." And the puppy runs away over and over again. Sometimes the puppy jumps up, runs over and pees in the corner, or makes some other mess. Our minds are much the same as the puppy, only they create even bigger messes. In training the mind, or the puppy, we have to start over and over again.--Jack Kornfield, A Path with Heartfrom Everyday Mind, edited by Jean Smith, a Tricycle book

lost love

one love
mystified
not all souls, though better
but one heart
and foolish it sounds
as if magic were real
so many things to know,
yet so few needed
to know one love
so special, so grand
my eyes, my mind,
they feel
and only once i heard her voice
as if a dream

the way

Sound holds the answer to the universe if you can know breath as reality that does not change. Love, goodness, peace, grace, to have them always listening to God with all you’re light, soul and, heart. There are millions of mantras, billions of rituals, all clinging to the essence of existence, the universe, here now in your breath, your thoughts. Qi Cong exercises help you feel it. Catholics use contemplation, Buddhists meditation, Quakers speak out when inspired, Eastern Orthodox churches are always open, right now you can go and pray, contemplate, Orthodox Jews have hundreds of prayers, while the Amish live humble and Islam surrenders to God on your knees five times a day. Each religion seeks to stop time, like the Yogi that does not eat for years or desire, just to know God in some way, the question is, what is that way to heal and create prosperity, contentment for everyone?
The way is simple, because God loves us so much, he made it easy, he gave us his power to establish reality. Oh what power is God, to rain on us his will to establish good things, health, love, peace, stresslessness… the Holy Ghost… yet all we need is to focus someway. ..The Indians dance.

abandoned

what taste, what scent
so much apart of my soul
so content to rely on
though blind my love
though lofty her intent
her eyes do haunt
her warmth now vacant numbs
my breath as if drown
my thoughts, to deaf ears
and the stillness of God is denied
what taste, what scent
there is no time
there is no deed
to know is to taste
to believe is to feel
whether weeks or months
i am undone
i am unloved
