The seeds of personal and social change are found in the roughest times, the most barren soil, as society becomes squeezed by cyclical financial collapse due to greed, laxity and short term thinking, it becomes out of step with the natural cycles of the planet-when this happens the man made structures of the world-whether they be ideas, organisations or structures collapse, in order that what is made by man finds balance with nature. If you seek the seeds of change look at your relationship with the natural world, psychologically, spiritually, humanly. See, discover what the seeds are.

In challenging times

create the ability to be adaptable

consider seriously what is important in your life

what and who you need and how you can secure these to your mutual advantage

in challenging times when the money supply withers

and the value of it decreases, where debt is transacted freely until its too late

focus on building a supportive infrastructure than can allow you to eat, work and live

freely, to think freely and to make sure that you can keep it

but yet also know that in challenging times

by intelligent sharing, a greater wealth is created

amongst those like yourself

As your life changes, day by day, hour by hour, month by year, what do you notice or see in the experiences that make your life? are there shadows of the past feeling as it they were having hold of you right now? Or are you thinking of the future, a better place to be than where you are now? Look and breathe in the patterns of your life, how have the moments being coloured by your relationship to the life experiences thast you have had? Are you part of a community, jammed in a crowd, on an emotionally powered desert island? As your life changes, where will you be?

all the the elements

that make you

move in waves

short impulses

long undulating

spirals,waves

that heave and sign

and by their action

generate the stuff of matter

squeezing out the essence of gravity

spreading out the strands of light

that illuminate us to think

be, free and content

to understand the

human impulse of dissatisfaction

looking to your self

what do you see?

can you distinguish the fog and that which is truly you

can you look in at the many parts of

your every day mind that

seek to

define

‘who you are’

the everyday mind is the world of mixed signals

and  transformation

the inner you beneath

observes

and does

not comment

no  matter

where you are

no matter where you think you are

no matter what you believe yourself to believe

in matter

in thought

which is matter

there is

presence

in

all things

the ever knowing

You

the old ways are

gathering

they take their time

waiting

history

or mankind’s meanderings

are nothing to them

the old ways are squeezing out

between the spaces

that dwell between thoughts, reactions, impulses

all in the natural process of things

Democracy  since its first inception in Athens

has forged itself to economics

that is human nature

but if democracy is to

evolve

it needs to go beyond

choice,

the rights of the individual

the freedom of travel

capitalism and its gifts

but fully embrace

non-violence

non judgement

and the creation of

a modern charter of privacy and self-determination

that is universal to all

old forgotten things

whether they be wisdom or the ruins of cities past

find new ways to form themselves into the living mind-heart of humanity

old words spoken by fires under stars hang connected

each molecule with a hook of being

old forgotten things make themselves appear as if they were forgotten

so each generation

can find it for themselves

from ombu to skyscraper

to small blue wild flowers

from old stained leather to the finger tips of a new born

hang connected

each molecule with a hook of being

listen carefully you can hear each one singing

‘ the obvious is found in the unseen’
