Internal Dynasties

We are such emotional beings...some on a greater scale than others.  Amazing it is to know how something can crash a peaceful world, and cause a complete change in our demeanor.  In a tumultuous fashion, I watched two wonderful movies this weekend out of order, both vying for complete separate worlds.

First off, I took my kiddies to see 'Kung Fu Panda 2'.  It was so adorable, and graphically appealing, with a powerful message of inner peace.  Acknowledging and accepting your fate/destiny, and the here and now.  I will definitely purchase the movie when it comes out, and subliminally play it on their "bad" days.  However, I learned  while sitting there in that theater along with my children, that I am at peace.  Of course I get thrown off sometimes, but it never last long.  I understand that nothing is permanent, and to not waste energy or time on foolishness.

Needless to say, I had went outside of my romance and comedy genres and watched a psychological thriller, 'Black Swan'.  I actually had to perform self checks throughout the movie, and could no longer balance my inner peace.  I had been drawn into the world of craziness, and couldn't recall whether or not I had really climbed a mountain the day before, or maybe dreamed it.  I was fighting to survive the movie, that projected it's psychosis onto me, and I couldn't turn away.

A moment of inner peace, unbalanced by inner conflict...for a brief moment in time.    I suppose that I understand how some people get lost, and cannot differentiate between delusional and reality.  Too much going on, from past situations deeply embedded within the mind, brewing over time.  It's unfortunate that their inner turmoil can cause pain and suffering to others.  If only everyone knew how to connect to their inner self at an early age.

  **News Flash** Teach Tai Chi during P.E. **News Flash**

Not only is it mentally helpful, but it might teach little kiddies some self discipline at a broader scale, and not just private.  In fact,  I think I'll order some videos for my family :)

    I agree with teaching Tai Chi during P.E. class. I would also like to see more meditation done in schools too.

Grim Reality

Non discriminatory, non forgiving and encompassing all, is death.  Memento Mori, is the Latin phrase meaning to "Remember your mortality", and can bring a certain perspective to life, and your current frame of mind. As a child, I use to hyperventilate and cry uncontrollably to myself on thoughts of death.  It only worsened when I was taught "The Book of Revelations".  From then on, my idea was to live a reclusive life, and not involve myself with a familial status (and pray to God, I died before the end of the world).  All in hopes to escape the grim reality of death touching loved ones.  Perhaps it was then people became oblivious to me.   Never had I went in search for friends or relationships, but always allowed whatever to happen  non discriminatory.  How is my reclusive life going?  Single divorcee, enjoying her two weeks of freedom. Since my teenage years, I grew a new perspective on death.  When I began ...

Somewhere in the Middle

70 years ago, President Roosevelt delivered his " Day of Infamy " speech, following the attack of Pearl Harbor.  70 years today, you can still visually see the sunken USS Arizona, with the same oil floating in the water, still capturing the bodies of some sailors. About 8 hours west of the Pearl Harbor monument, you will find the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots,  in Japan, and in between you can see the destruction of war.   66 years later you can still see the effects of the atom bombs dropped over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, where about 200,000 people died as a the result of the attack. Prior to the atom bombs, about 200,000 people were killed in the Battle of Okinawa , and about 20,000 died in the Battle of Guam . Caught in the middle, and always in between are people that have no voice in neither decisions, nor the outcome.  Just like civilians caught in between war and civil battles; daily,  weekly,  or monthly,  you will find children.....

Body of Art

Twelve years ago I dreamed of one of my many deaths.  For the first couple of years I dismissed it.  However, when September 11 occurred, I became scared and distraught.  Later on, I began to investigate my dream, and now I see it as a work of art.  Many forms of art lie all around, but the most interesting ones can be found in a dream of death that begins with the moment of suspense, through the will power of life, and the masterpiece end of defeat. My canvas begins with myself and others lying asleep around a tan colored truck in a desert atmosphere.  I had long hair, and was dressed in a brown t-shirt and light brown camouflage pants, and suede untied boots.  Suddenly I'm running.  I'm running through the desert, houses, backyards, clothes-lines, climbing fences, and continue to run through more desert.  Before long, I was at an empty tavern.  It was cool and clean, and everything made of mud-brick.  I go out the back door and see m...
