When I am in Austin, or any big city, one of the things I like to do is look up to see how creative someone got with a building top. They range from intricately interesting to “no comment”.
Today, I encourage you to pause for a moment and look up. May the beauty of creation engulf and inspire you today, whether it be man made or crafted by the Master’s hand. 💕
Did anyone even ask daylight if it wanted to be saved?
Or, like most things government, did they just impose the regulation upon it under the premise “for the good of the people”? Where are these people it is good for? I don’t know any “people” who would have voted for this imposition upon daylight. No one really wants it, no one understands it, no tangible benefit is derived from it, yet it continues to exist as all government impositions tend to do.
For six months the illusion of saving daylight plays out until daylight refuses to be saved and “falls back” into its prodigal ways. Much like a confused soul fluctuating between organized damnation and using free will, daylight drifts back and forth, being saved, falling back, in a never ending illusion that somehow time can be harnessed or manipulated when in fact time cannot be touched aside from this moment right now, and it is already gone.
As the night ends and the day begins, may you find hope in the dawning hours. Take care of yourself today, take care who you make memories with. Good or not, those memories will last a lifetime.
Waves of excited chatter, catching us up, whirling us around, turning us upside down.
In critical thinking it is important to suspend judgement, research information and look at several points of view. Identify various possible conclusions and then decide which (if any) are sufficiently supported.
Suspending judgement, thinking, is not encouraged in this ever increasing instant world we live in. Pressing pause on the chaotic orchestrated chatter we are bombarded with is considered heresy. We are expected to drink from the fire hose of mass public opinion, without pausing to take a breath, as we are being programmed to make instant decisions founded on mass appeal.
Centuries of print technology pushing the importance of “public opinion” laid the ground work for electronic technology pushing the importance of “mass” which ushered in social networks pushing the importance of “mass public opinion “.
Smoke and mirrors, slight of hand, distractions; getting us to look in one direction while what’s really important is happening where we aren’t looking. Truth is difficult to find masked by half-truths and blatant misrepresentations designed to appeal to our base flesh desires.
Press play, swipe this way, swipe that way, click like, share, subscribe, get skinny, get rich, save the world, click, click, click. But don’t press pause.
The death of mass social herding can be accomplished if we simply exercise our ability to think for ourselves.
Speak out Do we dare Are we strong enough To speak the truth And feel the stares The enemy has succeeded In making it difficult Uncomfortable Unacceptable To standup Society loves their illusions Thinking they are becoming More enlightened While darkness subtly Weaves a web of deception Causing lips to clench shut Keeping us seated Wandering Are we strong enough Do we dare Speak out
