You heard?

H P Lovecraft from “Beyond the Wall of Sleep”:
“We shall meet again - perhaps in the shining mists of Orion’s sword, perhaps on a bleak plateau in prehistoric Asia, perhaps in unremembered dreams tonight, perhaps in some other form an eon hence, when the solar system shall have been swept away.”

John Masefield:
“Once in a century a man may be ruined or made insufferable by praise. But surely once in a minute something generous dies for want of it."

Noam Chomsky:
“All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.”

Frank Herbert – Dune Messiah:
“The convoluted wording of legalism grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour of his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy. Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: ‘I feed on your energy.’
-Addenda to orders in council
The Emperor Paul Muad’dib”

Judith Stone:
“Perhaps all human progress stems from the tension between two basic drives: to have what everyone else has, and to have what no one has.”

H P Lovecraft from “Through the Gates of the Silver Key”:
“Damnation, he reflected, is but a word bandied about by those whose blindness leads them to condemn all whom can see, even with one eye.”

John Sawhill (former President and CEO of The Nature Conservancy):
"A society is defined not only by what it creates, but by what it refuses to destroy."

Lies and half truths!

Did I really say that?

Why don't we do it more?

I'm confused, uncomfortable and have nothing else permanent to write on. But why don't we listen anymore? To others; to ourselves? What is it? I had this all planned out but now it seems for naught. We only have us. Who is us to you? You have yourself, I hope, but what of me is anything to you?

The simple conundrum is this. Every thing that we hear is almost as powerful as every scent that we smell. Every viable and comprehensible thought expressed in words strikes a tone in us that inspires us. Whether that inspiratiion be enjoyable or not is uncircumstandtial. What is important is that we allow the statement to complete itself before retort. So many pointless arguments toward the same point; so many waisted breaths not taken again. Hear the words before you presume to understand, for you really have no idea. These thoughts that I depict to you mean far from the same to me as they may to them...more to you than they do to him...less to us than they did to her. We don't know. That's the point. We simply don't. We may never. What about that? What if we never understand? Would we get anywhere?

No!

Take the time. Hear it. It's inside and out. It's there if you allow it to be. We are what we make and we have a choice. We are identifiable by more than vocal symbols and we have a responsibility to present that. Do so with dignity. Rise up! But allow me to as well, humbly, for I must have a moment also. Even if it means less to you than it does to me. Especially if it means less to you than it does to me. Let me have my time. I give back.

Hear me like a child being told a story. I hear you so and wait for more.
