For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Sunflower energy
The sun flower always faces the sun for energy, if the sun is not shining out that day they face each other for energy. Is this the same for us? Do we need each other more than we think. Take a look around does it look like we are looking to each other like we should for energy. If we are we are absorbing energy from each other, the emotions, such as fear, anger and despair seem to be the theme lately . That is not the energy I want to absorb from you vice versa. There are separations every where I turn, it pains me because I cant see that beautiful smile of yours. They have taught us to be afraid they have taught us that we are insignificant they have lied to us they have stolen from us and killed, they have tried to dumb us down and distract us. I can empathize with many on being afraid, but I’m fed up I am going to live as if nothing is going on, no excessive hand washing, no mask, no more docs, no more politicians, no more news, no more bullshit, if I get it I get it if I die well it was just my time. If it is your time, it was your time, death comes weather you like it or not everyone acts as if that’s the worst thing that could happen. In my opinion and only mine, I feel this is way worse, living in fear, showing next generations to come to be afraid, and show them only this synthetic world where we no longer gain energy from each other. Not being able see you nor the beautiful light that shines inside when I look at your eyes and you smile, when I crack a joke. Living in fear brings your immune system down and makes you more susceptible to disease anyways. Can you imagine what love can do. Today I make a stand and refuse to acknowledge it as fearful thing I have done this with other things such as the disease scurvy, the common cold, and flu. I will meditate for love of my world, for I create everything I manifest and experience. I will not read, nor watch the news, and I will be happy, with high hopes that I can be just as contagious. The collective is not in a good place what ever power is out there that's trying to separate us will not succeed, will not keep us from being the greatest power this universe contains. It is made of what the collective that was brought forth to this world from the beginning and that’s love. Love each other,turn to each other, hug each other. Do not let fear separate us and push us apart let love unite us and help us grow and blossom like a big beautiful sunflower. Love shall prevail.

Almost a Bum
For obvious reasons, being homeless is looked down and frowned upon. What people don't realize is that the average homeless person you see on the streets is actually looking down on you, and is literally relying, expecting, and anticipating your pity, in order for them to live their chosen way of life. The serious homeless people go to shelters and locations where food is provided as well as assistance with a job to help them become a patron of society once again. The not so serious ones are seen everyday on the streets, panhandling and looking pitiful, so they could bank on your pity for them. I know this because for years I hung out with them, saw the glory and benefits of being homeless, and was on the verge of becoming one myself.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF AN AMERICAN TORY
Arthur came by the Mercedes when he was twenty-nine years old. The car was massive and already of a certain age. He had first heard of the splendid machine at some official function or another of the Turkish Consulate in Tampa. Honorary consul Willie Ferguson faced criminal charges over some phony business regarding the Hurlugolu Charitable Trust Fund. The unfortunate man had retained Arthur as his lawyer and offered him the vintage vehicle in exchange for his services. He also had squashed Arthur’s hat, which sat on a chair as the lawyer he must have been anxious to consult with was preparing to leave. The Turkish diplomat caught Arthur’s shoulder, making him turn slightly while he said, "So soon! Please stay a moment longer."

Black Lives Matter
I'm disappointed that in the year 2020 we are still needing to have this discussion. This isn't something that should be up for debate and to be honest, it isn't up for debate- get with the program or you'll be left behind on the wrong side of history.

Lesson Seventy-five Years in the Making
I was a virgin when I married at twenty. I don't recommend it to anyone. Mama told me that I should wait for marriage to experience sex. Looking back, I have no memory of being either a friend or a lover to the man I married. We consumated our marriage on our honeymoon. It was nonplussed, except it hurt. Our marriage lasted less than four years. We never really became friends.

Why We Are All Self Centered?
What is the deal with you all!? No seriously, what is the problem with everyone either being vicious and hard to others? Look, whatever trauma or bad luck you have experienced gives you no right to mistreat others! I am sick of people being so rude, cruel, and hard to each other. Things are reaching a point where enough is enough! Time to stop this madness!

Embracing Radical Empathy in an Age of Antipathy. First Place in Lifelong Learning Challenge. Top Story - June 2020.
When I take a look around me today, one thing has become abundantly clear: We are living through an age of antipathy. Whether it's lockdown protestors that would have the ‘old and weak’ sacrificed for the right to get a haircut, the people yelling ‘All Lives Matter’ - not as a statement of solidarity or support but rather as a rebuttal to demean and dismiss the Black Lives Movement, or the parent that refuses to vaccinate their kids and thus endangers the rest of the kids amongst them for otherwise cured diseases, a vulgar pattern of exceptional egocentrism appears.

Life Goes Fast
Look at it there, silently standing next to you. You think you are so great and powerful, and yet you are at the mercy of an ethereal ghost. A simple sigh and your entire existence passes in front of you. You are young, and when you open your eyes, you are already an old person. Time forgives no one and can be the cruelest tyrant if you don't know how to make the most of it. There is no way to go back, no matter how much you cry or beg. After all, time, like death, is one of those things that absolutely forgives no one. Treat the poor as well as the rich.

THE FOREST GLADE
She had known that particular corner of the woods since childhood. It always seemed terribly ancient to her. Moss grew there, and some kind of exotic wild flower that she had never learned the name of. She never asked, for that corner of the woods was her secret.

What It Is to Be A Mixed Race - Part 1
The world is on fire. I swore that 2020 is going to be my year, the year that is going to flourish everybody's life. However, it started with this century's first-ever virus pandemic that the world's scientists are racing desperately finding a cure to put a period tot this pain and sufferings. In the UK, we are currently on the 12th week of lockdown and frankly, people are getting fed up with government's reluctant decisions to tackle this ongoing issue which people are still struggling to get to the other side of the tunnel.
