Day to day, moment-to-moment, breath to breath is the method for the synthesis of time recommended by therapists, gurus, rickshaw wallahs and talking mirrors everywhere.
Whether pulling yet another 60 hour work week in a cube or trying to squeeze it in on the road similar factors play into the belief in the illusion of time. It can be broken into nano fibers or lumped into gross geologic blocks but experience can't be measured so linearly. This alone is reason enough to live life like on holiday, always work at what we love and never hurry past the moment. The formula for dissolving time doesn't end in a machine. We are living in the only machine that we will ever need. Overlooking the miracle of living is a grave error.
From either perspective: the world is less safe and extremely dangerous, or times are evolving towards fuller global communication, peace and understanding. Whether you are on one of these polls or stranded unsure in the middle the idea of having some control over how time passes is vital. Time itself is the new frontier whether artist or scientist.
Torturous politics and innocuous culture emanate a stagnant and repetitive pollution and destruction of what we're calling reality. The indictment of a few politicians and exposure of a repressive and out of control executive branch is no surprise to anyone. Especially those giving us 'all the news that's fit...'. So how is it that we just don't peacefully fill the streets and say firmly and softly, 'stop'. It's what we need more than change. Nothing has changed, replace all the rhetoric around Viet Nam with Iraq and you still have it the same.
It's all of us, individually in our own way that have to face the mirror and wonder if we're the example of how the world can be. In the highest standard and dream that we have. America is an idea, a philosophy, a verb. The United States is an equation, a contract, a misunderstood noun. When one of us is on the road we are American whether or not you want to identify with the United States.
You can argue over the actions of the U.S. but you can't cut on the feel of America. That justice can never die no matter how abused, that opportunity can be manipulated but the chaos of the market allows anyone to thrive with will and work. I'm off on a fresh edge, that of the vigorous and patient. Knowing more than I like about the towers not falling by the assault of passenger liners, that the hole in the pentagon just can't of had a 757 parked there, that Ohio and Florida were shell games and the donkey is as corrupt and complacent as the elephant. Identifying the target for blame is not productive, critique takes no creativity. Politics is not where the solutions lie to the spiritual problems of Americans, it's in the mirror. It's that simple and available day to day.

Just daily life, like doing the laundary can float
Now it's electric looms, the older handlooms use a card system.
The cows and bulls love the ghats, the boardwalk of ancient Kashi.
Mercy Corps puts 91% into the field
NW Medical Teams 91% goes into the field
100 years of natural disasters
metaphors in front of you. Like here how the wind makes the
Ganga and the sari flow with the same grace. The only way
to see the wind is to watch where it's been.
It's rare to see an old knot loom like this. Two people run it, the
the knots correspond to the colors and patterns. Obviously you can't have
ADD and keep this job. Of course fashion changes and demand rules the market
so the art of knot looming is passing away.
This pic could have been in any timeline as the ghats and the brahma breed
have been here longer than anthropoligists are ready to cop to.
I could stare at the Mankarnika Ghat forever. Especially during a power
outage. With the use of a long shutter we get to see what the eye cannot in
the dark. Mysterious scene, 1000's of years old, the fires are always burning.

I'm really thankful. Yes it's 'made up' holiday. On this day I always wonder
If they had asked the pilgrims for visas and passports then scanned them for virus'. All those that love the great white American Dream should just thankful that they fed them. Clealy now for many the dream has always been the American Nightmare So maybe if the Teya or Iroquios had an immigration department if would have slowed but been no different. It's a fact that the first thanksgiving is may not be the starting point of the genocide of 100 million peoplesbut it's good referance point.
Will somebody impeach my president, please?
He's a two time election rigger, didn't get my vote but I respect the game of democracy and the rules are he took the oath, he's the president. But its impeachment we want and he has to be in office to get the honor of the fourth president to be impeached.
Is fear terroring U.S. apart?
Yeah I hear it all the time. How can it all be love? -Suicide bombers, Asian flu, killer hurricanes... It's easy to make a fear and terror list. Do you have a list of things you would stake your life to defend?
Memorial Day? Mainly this is just a day off, let's face it, most Americans think it's a signal that summer is here. Airfares go up, the sun is back, and the BBQ gets fired up. I got dead FAM, have some in my circle with recent war dead. When you have dead you knew by eye contact that Memorial Day is every day. These dead and especially this war, the freshest war, are painful in so many ways;are the recent dead the deadest?
Scripture in the toilet; now that's news! Flushing the Koran!? What's the counterpunch; garbage disposal the Bible, shred the Sutras and Vacuum up the Vedas. Looks like the World Conflict Inc. marketing department is working overtime.
This is an open letter to the children of Abraham. Okay I know I'm goyish and an infidel, hell I'm even from the left coast of America but stil... You Abrahamites have a family fight going. We can see since Sarah conceived the rift began, or so we're told. By the time Abraham got to the sacrificial alter the trend had been set. You don't even agree which child he dragged up the hill to sacrifice. It is the same voice from the clouds isn't it? Ultimately do you think you're speaking to the same God?
Not one damn dime? Divest from the economy for the day as a method of sending a message? Believe me, I'm behind all protest to the coronation of King George Bush, the 44th President of the US. I'm going to stock up at the farmers market, invite friends for food but my divesting will not bring much satisfaction or I believe much influence on the powers that be.
Death and destruction, birth and evolution; these are our daily polarities. These are more than interesting times. We set records every day as a species. Of all in the animal kingdom we prey on our own more than any other animal.
C'mon if you could rub a cream on your butt that shifted you to being smarter, pain free, sexy and strong would you lather up?
What sort of meal would it have been if the Iroquois nation had a terror alert of red and stopped the pilgrims at the beach, searched them and checked passports?
So you think Kerry took a dive? Like Sonny Liston, took the hope flickering in the hearts of the poor, the unemployed,
disempowered, young and old and flopped onto the canvas. After that whole time telling us it was on the way. That it got way closer than they thought they would get.
