RESPONSE

perhaps the appropriate response to the world today
is full grieving

the wretched despair
as we watch the suffering caused by the inevitable
collapse of all the world's systems

nearly simultaneously

and the miracles that enter
only in its complete and absolute
loss of hope

like the basic reality:
stuff still grows

-----

in these times
any arrogance is daft

any effort
an exercise in futility

any externalization
of our personalities

fruitless and silly

this is no time for self-actualization:
why?

BECAUSE THAT MASLOW PYRAMID
IS AN INCOMPLETE

AND LIKE EVERY OTHER BIT OF INFORMATION
WE THINK WE KNOW

MANIPULATED
REPRESENTATION

OF HUMAN REALITY

LEAVING OUR THINKING USELESS
IN ITS INEFFECTUALNESS

-----

BEYOND SELF-ACTUALIZATION
THERE IS SELF-TRANSCENDENCE

ESTHETIC NEEDS
AND THE ENTIRE REALM OF MIRACLES

MORE SIMPLY:

WE ARE AWARENESS
WE LONG TO SERVE
WE ARE HEART-CENTERED BEINGS

THE FOURTH CHAKRA
IS OUR HOME

AND WHEN ONE REALIZES THAT
FEAR VANISHES

AND WE CAN EXPAND AGAIN

-----

CONNECT YOUR THINKING
TO THE REAL HIGHEST GOOD

THE NEEDS OF THE WORLD
BEYOND SELF-ACTUALIZATION
MIGHT QUALIFY

AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME
YOU ARE BEST TO
FORGET MONEY ENTIRELY

WHICH BRINGS US TO
SUGGESTED COURSES OF ACTION

FOR RECKONING WITH ECONOMIC COLLAPSE
AND APOCALYPTIC BEASTIES ALIKE:

1. ALLEVIATE SUFFERING:
FEED THE HOMELESS
AT LEAST
START THERE

2. ENJOY NATURE ACTIVELY:
GROW STUFF
TRADE SEED
HAVE FUN GARDENING
AND BREWING BEER

WITH ACTIVITIES SUCH AS
#1 AND #2 IN PLACE, YOU ARE ALREADY ON YOUR WAY TO:

3. BUILDING COMMUNITY
GROW THE SOLUTION
a. TRY COMMUNITY CURRENCY
TO SEE IF IT HELPS
b. ESTABLISH COMMUNITY JUSTICE
CIRCLES TO DIALOG ON NEEDS

THE BEST OF NVC IS PROFOUND

-----

PERHAPS BEFORE ANY OF THESE
OR CERTAINLY AFTER

GET HIGH:
WHY?

VIBRATE AT A DIFFERENT WAVELENGTH
THAN THAT OF THE DISASTER

ONE INVOLVING GREATER AWARENESS
CHOICE AND JOY
BY RESTING IN A STATE OF CONNECTION
WITH LIFE

WITHIN THE FIELD OF DIVINE WE REMEMBER
OURSELVES TO BE WITHIN

NEEDS AS RESOURCES

ENJOY THIS MOMENT
BE IN NO OTHER

GODDESS BLESS!
THE NOW IS ABOUT THE ONLY SANCTUARY LEFT

FORTUNATELY THE FLOW OF TIME
CONTINUES TO EXIST

CMON WADDA WE GO BACKWUDS IN 2012?

-----

NOW THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GET HIGH
OF COURSE

TANTRA HOLDS A LOT OF
USUALLY COMPLETELY UNREALIZED
POSSIBILITY

KUNDALINI YOGA MAYBE FRIGHTENS
FEWER READERS

CHANNELING AND DIRECTING
THE HORSEPOWER OF THAT ENERGY
WHICH IS LOVE AFTER ALL

UPWARD TO THE WORK OF THE HEART
THAT OF AN INTEGRATIVE
LOVE WHICH SERVES

AND MANIFESTS IN THE BROADER WORLD
IN ABUNDANT FLEXIBLE SWEET
RELATIONSHIPS OF
GREAT VARIETY

MAYBE I CAN EXTEND SUCH
EMPOWERED AGAPE
TO A BANKER:

THE WORK INDEED
