Part 2 of of Australia’s painful birth-
"3 Wise Men" that are new at birth

Surely“It is time” as our dearest Gough
would say, to step up make real change
and visionary beliefs into practice? We
can and must make the brave choices.
ACT in a decisive way that creates a
genuine sustainable 21st century …

Many have played a role in the ensuring
the "known status quo" and complacency
is entrenched. Bless Julia for giving
it a red-hot go, to create our very
positive new reality.

A brave act, given an ill conceived
time frame, and those with what nay be
shabby self serve advice and agenda's……
Nevertheless birth is always messy, and
the outcome always gives one love hope
and without doubt inspiration!

Ah dear and as for John’s love child. One
has to wonder, whether he was found under
a drought ridden, cabbage bush chewed by
locusts?

(The word "locust" is derived from the
"Vulgar Latin)'.

Ego driven, power at any cost possibly
Maybe like George (Bush)" he is doing it
for his daddy") We are unclear on that
However it could appear his desire for
power is, mirrored by simplistic mantra’s
of fear. Lulling those who have misheard
or not understood, into a state of gob
snacking, fear.

Alarming indecision and general confusion
has left people in a state of discontent
confused, about the role they can choose
play in "democracy."

THE FUTURE
Inclusiveness compassion conviction to what
matters as a whole is the future of society…
We are slowly seeing the soft tinkle of a
"stable" emerald green.

Australia may well have made a choice
about our future. (commonly spoken of as
“a protest vote”.) Hmm protest or choice?

BOB DOES BELIEVE IN THE FUTURE
Whether one is conscious alert and aware,
or not. Bob has walked all the way without
ego to the Mountain.. Mostly alone in an
melting glazier.

Bob has certainly kept on message, with
clarity and his feet dry.. One can see
people listened and have heard what the
message was.

That could bode well for our future. Hello
he engaged people in what matters to them.
Bridging 2 centuries, he truly believes in
building a sustainable future for Australia.

In that time, several alert aware and empowered
generations have been born. They are ready for
their voice to be heard..They are willing to
participate in an inclusive future with genuine
content, very eager and prepared to act on it....

We are now positioned to take his tenacity
and truth to the mountaintop. It could be
said Bob is the real “true believer” and
quite genuine about what is practical and
possible... He has taken all his people
with him.

Bless Bob for that, as opposed to others
who created the mantra “true believers”
then abandoned them For 12 years, they
became “aspirational” voters looking for
more products and prestige in the Howard
years….

The “true believers” possibly thought the
GST offered them the opportunity to join
the “business world” as they registered
for their ABN? Living a dream that they
thought would ensure they became the
“haves and no longer, the have nots?

Lift their status with products and better
positions…Buoyed on by the patriarchy,
that was the Howard years! Then left with
debts they unable to sustain...

Horrified by what that actually meant,
unsustainable debt casual work expensive
private education for their children over
sized houses and mostly products they felt
they needed!

In their rush for position product and a
better way of life, they began to chase
an unattainable dream that it could well
appear occurred in America…

It has taken 3 generations for them to see
that particular dream has not come true and
is unsustainable…

Barack may well be giving it a red hot go to
also create a new more sustainable dream that
involves a painful birth…

Lets see how independent our independents can
be in creating a more sustainable dream as
opposed to the status quo….May Julia keep
calm breath deeply and push when the the time
is right!

Vita

Walking to the Mountain or Stepping
of the Cliff?

As I have mentioned before Patriarchy is so last
century. Patriarchy is no longer a viable or a
relevant way forward.

The rhetoric of sustaining an inclusive world is
not a viable option. Verbs, actions & compassion
have been sadly lacking...

PATRIARCHY
“A social system in which men are regarded as
the authority within the family and society,
and power and possessions are passed on from
father to son”

WHERE ARE THE POLITICS OF HUMANITY GONE?

As a world, we have stepped off the path
of clarity kindness, love and compassion
for the whole…Our genuine self has been
strangled and struggling to be heard. Or
indeed articulated all. Our higher voice
over, the greedy face of desire is muted.

It could well appear we've forgotten to
love the other, as we would have, oneself
loved. The politics of humanity could well
be actually at stake here…

IT IS NOT THIS OR THAT!

We are witnessing a world with very out
dated paradigms. Right and wrong, more or
less, city or country, Love or hate. It
could well appear we have taken a position
of paralysis or zealot like behavior. Our
various veils of belief and actions…Is this
karma or alternatively an alarming inertia?

A world that’s endorsed, “If their not like
us, we will make them behave like us.” Take
all that they have or deny them entirely”.A
baron spiritual and benign position indeed..
That is so not working loved ones!

Toxic controlling fear Based attitudes and
actions are, with out doubt is impacting
moreover, imploding on us all.

One can see transparent frail paradigms under
the guise of democracy. Ironically equating to
“winner takes all”.

Be it refuges country people, homeless people
"created" war zones or those suffering in so
called “natural disasters”. Or prey tell those
seen as not trying” to fit in”, to patriarchal
demands. Be it citizens from the east or the
west my dears!

A lack on all our parts to understand another
and feel what they feel or understand what they
need or want for that matter..

NEW RELATIONSHIPS NEW DIALOGS
What one has to ask, is who has determined the
benchmarks of these attitude and behavior. Power
brokers” faceless men” or did we give our power
away? One can see either way we are on the fence
of the future. DISILLUSIONMENT is in our face that
is a mirror of what we created.

The history of patriarchy is upon us, a mean
narrow spirit that dissipates us all. We must
choose new ways of being. “We can do it”.

“Let’s make a wee leap forward & give a little!”
The desire to have more is encouraged, fearing
those with less has been the sustaining factor.

Let us hope in Australia the “3 wise "chosen men
“can see past patriarchy and consider the bigger
picture.

Lets manifest the 3 wise men are visionary and
able to step out of old paradigms ego and their
little desires.

Lets see if they can be part of a very necessary
now, inclusive “transition decade”.Lets all make
the choice to sustain humanity.

OH, la la loved ones 17 days on the island (Manhattan)
that is... An eternity in every moment pleasure and pain.
A city of endless conundrums, a city with desires
a city waiting and working to living the dream...

A city full of sadness and isolation acted out as
"flat out and ready to dance and fight for the dream
for several life times and still wonder why... “

A city that is listening yet not often hearing,
or feeling out loud, a city that wants to know
but is flat out rushing into its future!

Clean dog’s elegant women, cheeky clever men and
crushing poverty, endless garbage and those who’s
savor is not valued as it could be honored.

Thanks seems an unfamiliar term, it could
appear a constant battle to be seen and truly
understood, Judgment second guessing the others
motivation is alarming and endless..

Questions seem frowned upon or create fear or
at most would a makeover be the answer?? Hard to
comprehend why so many have been left wanting foir
so much that may or may not help!! ..

Shopping choices that leave one spent and re thinking
Zen on the lower west side, A mirror inti the first
worlds desire to own the lot and wonder why it is still
is not happy!!

A perplexing and disturbing greed that has left the
city vacant and hungry for more but for what?? The city
is in decline and yet renewal giving it an opportunity
to reassess it's future and what it values ...

THE EAST VILLAGE
A humble and respectful home in the East Village,
that gives comfort, genuine humor a recognizable
kindness, not often seen in the city... My beloved
East Village is a vision of hope valued cultures and
respect... Indeed a place one feels at home!

New York offers very raw gutsy villages within a city
that lives 24 seven, A city lost for words with the
volume turned up! New York lives with wild abandon and
a very apparent weariness that is skin deep...

A city desperate to love fully speak from the heart
and show of it‘s splendor, A city that carries the
rich memories of 7 generations in the palm of its
hands .

A city, that demands ones attention and often times
leaves one hungry for silence.A city that is fiercely
proud and willing to tell ya so...New York is on wheels
flat out moving into the "Transition Decade" with hope
and an unfamiliar fear and pain of what the future will
hold!

A city where sincerity and follow through will refresh
the spirit of the heart…A multicultural banquet of fear
and hope A city that gives blessings and mixed comfort
via the food it creates.

Food is in fact love made visible..Manhattan has it all
both love and fear! Fatty over processed fast food that
can cause havoc on the body and soul paralleled by very
inspired food memories that often times takes one back to
previous lifetime!

Organic whole foods in Union Square that reminds one
there is still hope, for a healthy future. Organic
Produce that give one faith it is possible we can all
grow and share together as a healthy world!

HOTEL 17
Oh the blessing to BE at home in the loving spirit
of the crew at Hotel 17 Hard core New Yorkers who
appreciate irony and the joy of love and light..
Hotel 17 nurture it's guest, take ones hand and
help one rise above the craziness and heat of the
city...

Hotel 17 has endless exotic stories and local
talent all reedy to entertain and amuse those
that choose to play and journey across Manhattan.

A genuine love and willingness to offer savor
without fuss or fancy pretentiousness airs …

Quirky mindful intelligent heart felt and generous
spirits, at this great haven of hope that is the
spirit of Hotel 17...

GARDENERS IN THE CITY
Shaun and Louis men of the earth, who truly love the
city and are ensuring the island is touching the earth
and not just edges of consumer waste Shaun and Luis
are dedicated grounded men, passionate in their pursuit
building a “garden of delights!”

Food that will alarm and food that will delight...
Chelsea Pier a refreshing breeze that gives one
hope for more breath and the blessing of the
Hudson!

A city not for the fainted hearted my loved
ones thrilling exhausting intense and well
worth walking from Battery Park to Queens,
the elegant Upper East and the gutsy west
side that takes no prisoners!! All very much
a must do on a balmy New York morning,

Central Park at dusk Midtown for a show and
the Russian Tea Rooms for an elegant high tea...

One must keep the fluids up though loved ones.
Gladly armed with a Blue Berry Smoothie created by
the beautiful Medina or fun loving Melanie from
Cornet and Conley on East 17th....Goddess’ who
know where they have been and very aware of what
is going on in the City of Dreams!

Love on a Bangkok breeze that has engulfed the
city this summer...

Vita in the city

Our intuition allows us to relinquish control of our human
desire and bear witness to our soul and the desires of the
other..This allows us to liberate a part of ourselves that
is often times hidden and silent…Let go of ones personal
myths, ones fears and the projections that one places on
others…

Sweep aside perceived difficulties fly like and eagle, swim
deeply into the new and unexplored realms of ones own reality
See the potential in ones self and the other.

Value the opportunities that abound from fearless exploration
and acceptance of the other….Take love and adventure in both
hands and love it for several life times..Be mindful sensitive
brave and kind...Learn and love to listen and hear to anothers
way and their experience. Be resourceful resilient realistic….

Be ready for the new.Be eager to explore another's experience.
Be willing open and very mindful of ones self and the other.
Discern and expand ones self and self-knowledge..Be presemt
proactive generous open. Be non judgmental, allow ones self
to be free and allow others to live freely….

Our path to self-determination pushes the limits of “skillful
desires” to see how far we are able to go. Be brave be beautiful
and confident and allow others the same….

Live from love not fear and always be in the mood to share sing
and dance on top of the world… Love the other as one would choose
to be loved…
