The Weeping God

Balance...to keep one's 'balance'...

Life is a juggling act...It really is a juggling act........If one loses ones balance, well then, it would seem logical that one would probably have a nasty fall!!! Wouldn't it???
Have I already lost your attention...well if your attention span is anything like that of my own...well let's just hope that it isn't! Now the balance of life....everything in moderation...love anything too much, or care for anything to little...well now, this upsets the delicate balance of life that most of us seem to juggle well enough, at least well enough for us to maintain some sort of stability, in a rather unstable universe! "Keeps a roof over my head, and food on da table" said Mr Jones. But there are some of us who upset this delicate balance so much, and in such a way, that the ability to maintain becomes such a matter of difficulty, that the effect of this illusion, of having his or her 'shit together' becomes a real bitch to pull off! Can u dig what I'm saying? "Man, you know that dude 'conkling'...he freakin' lost his balance and fell off the wagon!!!" And you know what happens to those who lose there balance? Well they have to rehabilitate themselves of course!!! REHAB!!!...u can ask Lindsey Lohan about that...Fucking Balance..."you've really overturned the scales this time"...Why is he going on and on about balance? you're asking yourself about now???

Because the delicate balance of life itself, is at stake!!! I'm spouting off about a world gone mad...MAD!!! If you think that I'm being a bit of a 'drama queen' or 'just full of shit' or a "melodramatic imbecile"...it's a matter of opinion man! The pendulum just fuckin broke!!! The scales of balance don't work no more...We're sucking on the "tit" of Greed, Power and Oil!!! It is sustaining war and killing the environment, and last but not least...It is killing us!...It will kill us! "god's tears are everywhere"!!! Why are men, women and children dying from starvation everyday when there is more then enough food to feed everyone? Why must we insist on using oil and fossil fuels as if it's the only possible source of energy?
Why are we fighting a war against terrorism on the other side of the world, when our borders are wide open? Why are there 'poppy' fields in bloom and blossoming all over Afghanistan right under the US military's noses? Why did it take 5 days for the government to send aid to the victims of hurricane Katrina? Why are we paying an income tax? Why did AT&T censor Eddie Vedder's remarks about President Bush while broadcasting a live pearl jam concert? What really happened to Pat Tillman?
Why won't the US government ever hold themselves accountable for anything? Putting conspiracy theories aside...in all honesty...what the hell is going on?
It feels strange not being able to trust in something that you've always trusted in...doesn't it?

FREEDOM CALLING

http://www.ralphbuckley.com
Freedom...it is a strong word.
It's a word that conjures up a wide variety of imagery in any individual.
But like everything else...it has a multitude of meanings and definitions...
A man might be free...but still enslaved to the ideas and influences that surround him!
I like the way Jordan Maxwell put it: "I don't trust anyone who professes that they've found the truth...implying that there is no need to go any further. I would be much more inclined to befriend someone who is still 'looking for the truth'....keeping an open mind. Still open to learning new things".
This is a real pickle....for the one who claims to know the truth...implies that it's kind of a 'closed end affair', and if you happen to disagree with the found 'truth' of an individual...then you may be about to embark upon a disagreement that could very likely end up turning into WW3.
"I don't claim to know the truth...but I do claim to have glimpses of it...however brief...from time to time." said I to myself...
Mind control in the 21st century has become quite the art form for the elite. Just how far the technology has come...is incomprehensible.
Science fiction or fact...
The little tid' bits of 'fringe' information that gets leaked out, here and there, is mind boggling enough in itself.
Holographic technology? Human genome project??? Project looking glass??? Genetically Modified food??? this is some of what we've heard about.
What about the stuff we haven't heard about??? What about the ground breaking discoveries (or nightmares) of....today???

Let us simplify...
Whatever faith you choose to endorse...whatever political party or candidate that turns your crank....whatever opinion you may or may not have about anyone, anybody or anything...
Doesn't mean anything whatsoever without.....FREEDOM...!!!!
_______________________
Freedom Calling is another improvised 'jam session'...again it is more about capturing the moment then it is about perfection...
Not that I don't love producing and multi-tracking and mixing tracks...It's very much like being able to paint a picture with music...and the effects give you an endless array of colours to choose from.
I love recording...and I started doing it when I was young by layering tracks with 2 portable cassette players. I knew that I wanted to do this....a long long time ago.
But for right now...staying in the moment is what counts.

I would love to expand on this song...let the imagination within your ear hear multiple percussion instruments and a stage full of people joining together.

Can anyone see or visualize "Toobstock West - Peace Festival"

Do you think we can make this happen?
Do you want to see this happen...? There is a lot of folks...right here at u2b who are 'Wide Awake' as far as I'm concerned...if you know what I mean...!!!
We can start a trend right here and NOW!!! Let us set a precedent!!!
Let us give 'each other' a voice....4 PEACE & FREEDOM...!!!

A Peaceful Solution (Willie Nelson)

I died a mineral and became a plant; I died a plant and rose an animal; I died an animal and I was a man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as a man, to soar With blessed angels; even from angelhood I must pass on ... When I have sacrificed my angel soul, I shall become that which no mind conceived. (Rumi - a Persian Mystic)
