Gnite my nurse!!

i came over with the first banned and in exile members of the old
site.....


it felt like fresh air.

i was very conscious of the "guest in a new house" situation and posted
my poetry in a thread titled MINE.....it does not get much more personal
than that. I don't like a spotlight or a welcoming committee or to be
noticed... i like growing into someplace and becoming part of the
biodiversity so to speak.. quietly and elegantly fitting in.

I found that very difficult . I even deactivated for a week because i
knew i could not handle what was happening.

Some of the people that moved to JSH were not banned and actually had
alot of attitude towards those of us that were...why did they follow?
why have they messed up this house too?


they are still members over there, or because of the sheep mentality
have gotton deleted for "guilt by association".......soooooooooooo ya
mix together a left over soup that's gone sour and with missing key
ingredients and add it to a new soup that tastes just fine....well the
result is no longer edible


we can do our best to doctor the soup and add a little of this and a
little of that...throw in some strong spices even.... but anyone who
knows how to cook will agree with me....it's not going to be the soup
you would serve to someone you like.

i am not sure how long it will take for the transformation......
it is like so many things representative of the microcosm/macrocosm .

we are not just ingredients of a soup, we are human beings. WE HAVE A
CHOICE
water will lower to find it's level...i am not going to lower myself.
i will seem aloof and maybe even arrogant to some and that's fine.
but i will not bend over to stupidity or banality or the ridiculous
mentality that i was happy to get away from.

and so i appreciate Morena's post, and i regret that she feels this way
but she is not alone.

this unwelcome attitude we pick up...this invasion...has a more subtle
perspective as well.

it is the narrow mindedness ...the attachment to territory, the
immigration attitude of exclusiveness..this is mine ....blah blah blah
the attachment to beliefs...the operative word here being ATTACHMENT ,
NOT BELIEF.

it is this that i find so horrible... the lack of flexibility of spirit
and mentality...I am a Doctor.... many of my perspectives are rooted in
adaptability/ flexibility/and growth to facilitate healing.

as humans we are like a cancer on this planet...no respect for the
abundance and beauty around us or for each other...and now we expect to
see it here?

it seems to be the human condition that when we are forced from our
environments into new territory we meet with conflict from the
locals/indigenous ....

we will not actually get over this until we wake up and begin to look at
a much bigger picture...give up our judgementalism (which is NOT
necessarily giving up judgement) and begin to flex and adapt.to one
another and to a determined effort to evolve consciously...that takes a
willingness .....I DO NOT SEE THAT HERE. i see people very attached to
their ideas and concepts and methods of communication.. religion,
politics, and sex ......(from all sides)

i have an unconventional mind and lifestyle.... if i spoke about it
freely here i would be crucified..... i am aware that one cannot make a
silk purse out of a sow's ear..........so i am not even going to try


when i find the little openings of curiosity and kindness, i will make a
step...i have alot to offer....but just as with so many things...it's
allll about the timing...pace....and humour



peace

Hello, Alex. Morena is truly welcoming the "newbies", while at the same
time offering an explaination for some of the friction......it is
dissipating, though. I think their are a lot of great new people here.
Anyone who just wants to stir the pot will weed themselves out
eventually..............

and did you not feel welcomed alex??????

mornin Lily!

I like yours, as well. Welcome.

Darren you are just a beautiful example of why i returned.....


simple kindness


i salut you
xxxxx

Hi Alex, Welcome -
As you see I haven’t been here too long either , but am enjoying it.
Enjoyed your post and if I may pick a sound bite from it, knowing it’s
out of context.
“as humans we are like a cancer on this planet...no respect for the
abundance and beauty around us or for each other...and now we expect to
see it here?”

Being a tree hugging granola, I often find myself viewing the human race
in this way. Just the same, each one of us can choose to add our beauty
to this planet while we are here and that’s what I plan on doing

yo! camp...hello and good morning from amsterdam!

and yes we do have a choice...i think i even put that in CAPS...lol


my life is a work of art in progress.....

here's to fine art!

I’ve always said, I live in a construction zone, spiritually, mentally,
physically, and in my relationships. Guess I just like to continually
improve.

Like the softer view of art work… hummmm will consider that.

lol.... it has been said , many renovations require a demolition

and or hahahhahaa many demolitions are the beginning of renovation!!

i love consturction!! oh by the way,......lol


have i ever told you of my collection and love of power tools!!???

awwwwwwwww you are still here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya left me pappa

no i'm right there

How are you doing, lovely Alex??

I guess I'm safe Alex..I use De Walt tools..Not worth much, so I can
afford to leave them lying around..LMAO

Rock on, Lady!!

hey Bobby....

nice to see ya! hmmmmm mine are not left lying around!!! lol

nor lent out!!oh oh oh oh oh!!!!

Alex & Lily you guys RAWK!!

Although I did post an "i'm new" thread...I have no idea what kinda
response it got...it kinda got lost in the shuffle, and since I can't
search or find my threads...I kinda left it be...but that's neither here
nor there.

I have found you guys very welcoming so far, it's a good site, I don't
post much yet, but I will once I figure out the organization etc. I
appreciate your post Morena...but I agree with the others...familiarity
breeds comfort...so we kinda mingled amongst ourselves and are slowly
opening up, we aren't ignoring...we are just testing the waters. Sorry
you felt invaded.

you can search

ill go dig it up korangan
