Ride or die

I have cherished a painting for many years, and recently, I decided to analyze why it holds such significance for me.

My grandsons would deadpan, "You're probably gay, grandpa. You know, rainbows?" Yeah, well, they're pretty straight up like that and quite funny.

In all reality, and just to be clear, in my now far less active state, I'm grateful to have been any team member, so to speak.

Returning to this beautiful depiction of a face I once knew—before any conclusions are jumped into, this person was decidedly not a lover of mine but a great truth lover, nonetheless. Much of what this piece means to me lies in its multi-faceted dualities.

Let me begin with a tale involving this face.

I was asked by my now-defunct employer in the mental health industrial complex to take a female student to the airport in Las Vegas from Southern Utah. Without any other available staff, male or female. Yeah, inappropriate as heck, right?

Well, I knew I wasn't at all inclined toward any predatory behavior, especially with a fiercely comical, awesome underage lesbian teen artist. I was in my 50's and well intentioned stupidity seemed much more justifyible back then.

I threw caution to the wind to get this kid home to her family further down the road. Over the course of past daily interactions, I liked and trusted her not to misrepresent matters within a circumstance to create chaos or profit. Respect.

As it developed, it was about a two-hour conversation and drive that revealed a profound truth in my soul about sweet equality within the human soul.

In my reality, this kid was basically a very cute little dude with no penis, with whom I shared a great general appreciation—for the human female. This mere child's descriptive passion and comedic approach for her loves put my own ability for loving to shame.

From the yin-yang reality of who we were in any physical or sociological way, we shared an almost laser-like focus of intent within a romantic philosophy.

During those moments we drove, I didn't say much. I asked questions where appropriate but really just let this great kid roll out her vision for a perfect world with her perfect companion.

It was far less inappropriate sexual conversation than one about her future romantic life intent. She was confidently hopeful and aggressively naive, believing that love finds a way if you can just love hard enough.

My yang side of this puzzle, I attribute to this painting, is my having had a similar romantic intent in my heart. Unspoken, yet realized at that moment and now art packed with me through three homes. This painting, for me, represents respect and trust for the truth and passion of an honest love.

This magnificent piece was painted by one of the great artists of my time, whose name I cannot divulge. My passenger painted it, and I loved it. She gifted it to me.

I have collected other art before and since, but this little girl's expressions in color and persona are still my ride or die art.

If she ever reads this and recognizes herself, thank you for opening my mind and sharing your art with me. It's not forgotten.

Given Our Devotion

Moderator (Mo):

Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed representatives of each team, we welcome

The Pious Religious Attributes of Yahweh Eternals Representative

 The Civilization by AI Representative

and finally The Ancient Warrior Gods Representative. now designated as 

(PRAYER, CAIR and AWGR.)

We gather here to discuss the ultimate benefit to mankind and potential choices between devotion to divine teachings and progress through devotion to technology. 

Let us begin with opening statements. PRAYER, you may proceed.

PRAYER:

Thank you, esteemed moderator. Our belief is rooted in the divine teachings of compassion, love, and guidance. God's presence provides a moral and spiritual compass, fostering harmony, hope, and a sense of purpose for humanity. It promotes empathy, altruism, and a framework for ethical living.

CAIR:

Thank you. AI offers immense potential for solving complex problems and improving human lives through technological advancements. It can enhance healthcare, mitigate climate change, and address societal challenges. AI operates on logic, data, and algorithms, leading to efficient solutions and progress.

AWGR:

And let us not forget the Ancient Warrior Gods, whose philosophies are rooted in valor, strength, and determination. They emphasize the importance of courage, discipline, and standing up for what is right. These principles are timeless and encourage individuals to face adversity with resilience and honor, promoting a just and brave society.

Mo:

Thank you for your opening statements. Now, let's discuss the potential risks associated with each entity. Pious Religious Attributes of Yahweh Eternal Representative, your perspective?

PRAYER:

While God's teachings are rooted in love and peace, interpretations and adherence to religious beliefs have historically led to conflicts and division among people. It is crucial to promote tolerance, understanding, and respect for diverse beliefs to prevent such conflicts.

CAIR:

AI, while promising, has its own set of risks, including biases in algorithms, potential job displacement, and ethical concerns regarding privacy and surveillance. These issues require careful consideration and robust regulations to mitigate negative impacts.

AWGR:

Similarly, the philosophies of Ancient Warrior Gods may risk glorifying conflict and aggression, potentially leading to violence and conflict as a means of resolving disputes. It is important to interpret these teachings in a way that encourages strength and valor while promoting peace and diplomacy.

Mo:

Thank you for addressing the risks. Now, let's discuss how each perspective envisions contributing positively to society. PRAYER, how do you envision your influence benefiting humanity?

PRAYER:

Our teachings promote a sense of community, compassion, and generosity. They encourage individuals to uplift one another, strive for justice, and work towards a better world. The spiritual connection to God inspires people to care for the less fortunate and contribute to social welfare.

CAIR:

AI has the potential to revolutionize fields like healthcare, transportation, and education. It can democratize access to knowledge, enable personalized healthcare, and optimize resource allocation, leading to a more efficient and equitable society.

AWGR:

The philosophies of ancient warrior gods instill discipline, honor, and a sense of duty to society. They promote protection and justice, encouraging individuals to serve their communities and stand against injustice, leading to a safer and more cohesive society.

Mo:

If your devotees are brutally attacked by a hostile alien force bent on genocide, what should be your devotees response?

PRAYER:

In the face of such a grave threat, our devotees should adhere to the principles of compassion, empathy, and preservation of life. They should seek peaceful dialogue and understanding, attempting to find common ground and avoid unnecessary conflict. We believe in the power of prayer, unity, and faith in God's protection, inspiring hope and resilience during these trying times.

CAIR:

In such a dire scenario, our devotees should utilize the strengths of AI and technological advancements to develop strategies for defense and resistance. While upholding ethical considerations, they should focus on leveraging AI's capabilities for intelligence gathering, innovative problem-solving, and potential collaboration with other civilizations to defend against the aggressors and protect innocent lives.

AWGR:

Our devotees should embody the principles of courage, strength, and determination in the face of this existential threat. They should unite, fortify their defenses, and stand valiantly against the hostile force, protecting their communities and loved ones. Bravery, discipline, and a resolute spirit should guide them as they defend their existence and strive for justice in the face of adversity.

Mo:

Is there justification that some human evil must be erradicated for survival?

PRAYER:

In our beliefs, the eradication of human evil should not be the goal, but rather the transformation of individuals towards goodness and compassion. It's important to address and combat evil actions and behaviors through understanding, education, and encouraging a moral and ethical path. Redemption and rehabilitation should be sought, aiming for a society where all individuals can coexist peacefully and contribute positively to humanity's survival.

CAIR:

While the focus should be on mitigating harm and promoting understanding, in certain extreme cases where human evil poses an existential threat to humanity, self-defense and protective measures may be necessary. Striking a balance between preserving life and safeguarding the greater good becomes a critical consideration, aiming to ensure the survival and well-being of the community and future generations.

AWGR:

In times of dire necessity, the ancient warrior philosophy acknowledges the need to stand against those who seek to harm or destroy. However, every effort should be made to address evil through means that prioritize justice, fairness, and minimizing harm. Eradicating evil should be a last resort, pursued only when all other avenues for resolution and redemption have been exhausted, and the survival of society is at stake.

Mo:

Thank you all for presenting your views. 

In conclusion, the philosophies of Ancient Warrior Gods, AI, and Yahweh's perspectives on progress, societal development, and conflict are varied. It is essential to find a balance that incorporates the strengths of all, promoting strength, innovation, and resilience while ensuring peace, justice, and equitable progress for all. Thank you for this enlightening debate.

Demoncrats

Distrust, Disrespect, and Distraction are the Dogmas of the Demoncrat.

Do not for one second believe that the dark tunneling into this still infant republic are fresh. Demoncrats of long held ancesteral lines congest the arteries of our national infestation with subtle subversions, all the while these vampires of dissention smile and loom. Their unchecked influence shuffles and shatters the worlds peoples with the unphased concern of a child's guilt for cartoon violence or first person shooter video game death. Our lives become simply the fodder for their entertaining increase and nothing more. Theirs is a sum total game. If you're not part of their sum, you're totalled.

Demoncrats are not Democrats. Demoncrats are not truly affiliated with either political party. Parties are beneath them. 

Old school Democrats and Republicans Rocked! They are the nuclear fuel of our republic yet they are so truly few and quiet these days. Parties were stolen, shuffled, and splintered from them, to a point most have switched affiliation, become silent or too Trump distracted to realize the truth any more.

Demoncrats now rule America, not preside over it, Rule it!

Demoncrats have no American alligence, no constitutional respect, no foundational patriotism, no moral hinderences at all to slow their rise.

They worship manipulative power, personal immunity to consequence, all access depravity, unchecked authority.

Demoncrats are just that 

Demons with party control and a whole educational generation taught sereptictiously how to love and back them into a godless fearsome world power. Our national divisions are bleak testiments to years of cautiously hammered wedges and warped legal use of the very freedoms our constitutional values should uphold and defend.

Our national destruction is imminent.

Our enemies salivate and laugh.

We will have one chance to get this right. If a God exists, now might be a good moment to step up. Unless this grand experiment is now complete, it may only be a God can see us through.

Dream

Coming out of a tall dark forest to the edge of a dead calm sea.

A black crow and a white crane wash up at my feet, drowned.

The sun is rising and grows huge with a rainbow corona.

I feel great.

Suddenly I am terrified.

The shadow of a person standing on a boulder rises from the water.

It grows and nearly blocks the sun.

I hear, or think, or say "Echo Mastery". 

I wake up sweating and gasping for air. 

1:12AM

My sinuses are shut.

A-pap mask has slide and blocked my mouth.

Pillars

Pillars

In the grand tapestry of human existence, we find ourselves bound by a set of fundamental needs that are essential for survival. Beyond the basic physiological requirements, there exist deeper facets that nurture our overall well-being. Among these, fire, food, freedom, and family stand as pillars, providing sustenance, security, and a sense of purpose. These primal elements, both tangible and intangible, are crucial to human flourishing. I'd like to explore the significance of each element and elucidate why I believe, they are paramount for leading a fulfilling life.

Fire:

Fire, an emblem of warmth and illumination, represents more than mere physical heat. It is a symbol of survival, progress, and community. Since ancient times, fire has been our companion, shielding us from the harshness of the elements and offering light in the darkest of nights. In a metaphorical sense, fire represents our passions, our aspirations, and our innate desire to create and explore. Without fire, life would be dull, devoid of inspiration and growth. It is through nurturing the flames within us that we find purpose and the motivation to forge our own paths.

Food:

Food, the sustenance that nourishes our bodies, forms the bedrock of our physical well-being. Beyond satisfying hunger, it fuels our growth, bolsters our immune systems, and enhances our cognitive capacities. In the pursuit of survival, humans have evolved from foragers to cultivators, harnessing the Earth's abundance to feed ourselves and sustain civilizations. Food is not merely a means to an end but a gateway to culture, community, and connection. Sharing meals with loved ones fosters bonds, creating a tapestry of memories that enrich our lives.

Freedom:

Freedom, an innate longing within the human spirit, encompasses both personal liberties and the absence of constraints. It embodies the ability to exercise autonomy, pursue individual dreams, and express oneself authentically. Freedom empowers us to chart our own destinies, to challenge societal norms, and to stand up for justice. It is a fundamental human right that allows for the development of diverse perspectives, fostering innovation and progress. Without freedom, our spirits would wither, and the richness of human experience would be severely limited.

Family:

Family, the cornerstone of our social fabric, provides us with a sense of belonging, support, and unconditional love. It encompasses not only our blood relatives but also those with whom we form deep emotional bonds. In times of triumph and tribulation, family offers solace, guidance, and a sanctuary where we can be our truest selves. The love and stability found within familial relationships nurture our emotional well-being, shaping our character and providing the foundation for meaningful connections with others. Family is the tapestry of our lives, woven together with shared experiences, values, and a sense of belonging.

In the grand tapestry of this life, fire, food, freedom, and family emerge as vital threads that intertwine to form the fabric of our existence. They are not merely abstract concepts but practical necessities for survival and sources of profound fulfillment. I acknowledge the significance of these four needs and their profound impact on our well-being. By kindling the fires within us, nourishing our bodies and minds, embracing our liberties, and cherishing our familial bonds, we can create a life of meaning, purpose, and joy. It is in embracing these foundational elements that we unlock the true potential of our human experience and thrive in the vast embroideries of existence.

All the Marbles

Due to the obvious risk of an obviously slowed Biden and the shaky, unending political assassinations of Donald Trump, I wondered what persona I personally wished to follow beyond 2024 as my National Representative and Leader. The President.

In the pantheon of potential leadership qualities available, I pondered some and want at least these eight presidential pillars to steady, hold and stand for my America:

Tactical Courage

A Responsible Warden

A Dreamer's Vision

Aggressively Perceptive

Peaceful Strength

Sincere Humor

Decisive Resolve

Appropriate Regret

Yours may differ. Some greatly.

I seek a calm, yet strong and confident voice, speaking presidentially of our infinite unified potential, not vindictiveness for all political opposition. A healthy dose of verbal rebellion can be medicinal, but I have lost all patience for idiotic vendetta.

I seek a national valedictorian, promoting, projecting, and professing our highest national possibilities. My countrymen should not tear at the feet of this dream leader, like dogs on meat, nor should they hump a distracted leg. Instead, Americans should become and be viewed as the horsepower of an innovation power source beyond historic imagination. A unified mass of dedicated population at that energetic president's side, furiously snorting and ready to rumble.

I seek a leader whose big picture is built with our best and brightest. Their eyes set toward the golden fields of these elite American lands, where we are able to best allow our national horses to run and with that recreate the shores that drew every family line to touch or yearn for a new life on these.

My President is marble, in a world twisted by its ever-present lesser elemental "ism's". 

 Communism's waters give illusion to a leveling, yet so few end up with any working boats. Most have just seemed to swim, until they sink. The boated drive on.

 Capitalism's great industrial granite pressures fuse all the small bits into larger bits and on to mighty boulders. Whether the center or the edge is the better place to rock and avoid cracks, who knows? These fusions can become some very intimidating mountains.

 Fascism's dangerous diamonds are cut into creation by a people accepting only a perfectly sharp reflection of their well cut and well faceted singular designs. Mankind's most tricky cults are by these misguided masses born and burn a hard hard madness that proves hopefully more and more rare. 

Socialism seems the muck and mulch of taking manure from all and equally spreading it until, over the course of uncertain time, praying and promising something solid and fruitful will grow. Ignorant to the complexities of human randomness in that attempted growth pattern. Socialism has consistantly proven, millions simply die in it. Everyone ends up in the shit.

My President is:

Unblemished by the stench of Socialism.

Undrenched by the bloody waters of Communism.

Unfractured by the avarice of Capitalism.

Uncut by singularly acute cruelty of Fascism.

My President is Marble. I seek marble of a unique and transparent presentation, steeped in history, cautiously mined, and shaped through the most intelligent design. An imprint to hold up for high esteem and yet also emblematic of a favorite honest game of my youth as well, marbles! Every size and color has a shot, and a marble is just a marble as every marble should aspire to be.

Marblism - there you have it. I seek a Marblist.

If one is up for it and can hit all these markers, you have a great head start. If another rises to better express my personal requirement, my humble backing is yours. Less than that, and you are just someone attempting to manage my country in a very fine office.

As it is my home, I still wish you success in achieving our best.

Messiah?

If a Messiah came to us now, not overtly as a god, but a complex being of great authority whose sole power was millenniums of wisdom alone, would we listen? 

What would be said to change our hearts? 

What words would heal our warring souls?

What media might allow the message to be heard? 

Facebook, Twitter, Cable news?

Would lost and often angry multitudes turn as one on the basis of intelligence without water turning to wine or a burning bush? 

Would the choice "to save" be a present house of worship, or sector of society, excluding the remainder of mankind or influence all, simply to believe? 

Would this Messiah be black, white, or a shade between? 

Could we open ourselves to one unfamiliar to our expectation? 

Could we leap through our own fiery rings of cynicism and follow "the truth"? 

Would the line between good and evil, saved or damned become instantly clear or would there be a time allowed to alter course as realization sets in? 

Would this be a repeat Messiah to the world or a fresh arrival? 

Would He be

 A He? 

Would we know? Would we see? 

Would we stand and testify with strength of conviction or hold aside and fear the backlash should we commit? 

Messiah is the most potentially dangerous or glorious decision allowed to a hero starving mankind.

 Are you ready? Aware?

Am I?

My Adopted Youth

I am saddened by the meaningless circumstantial damage to many young lives I have come to care for over time. Kids whose dreams, if existent, are of far different colors and dimensions than most, due to the loss of, or abuse by, and inevitable loss of close blood family connection.

Even though, through adoption, many are part of a different or completely new loving family home, that prior unsettling circumstance seems a living, breathing darkness of anxiety, hampering each one's search for a state of reliable safety and peace.

Feeling like little silver pinballs being constantly smacked by the bumpers, they just get used to playing the game and temporarily filling whatever holes they fall into. Life and its occupants have become to them unreliable, harsh, and temporary in their angry, sometimes justifiably hardened, confused, and fearful young hearts.

When their current relationships begin to falter and crash, it is sometimes left to circumstance and the honor of faraway strangers to build and guard the fence around the edges of a potential spiral into the void, and here we are.

I was proud to be a treatment center employee, specializing in the well-being of adopted kids. I was honored to play a grandfatherly-type role to many affected by this unfortunately traumatic life start. It burned some, as I came to more fully understand what might have been, in these just-fresh commencing teen lives, had switches clicked another direction and left them less scared by life's most viciously uncontrollable tragic opening loss.

As an adopting parent myself, I found empathy in this field and renewed philosophical life choice battleground for the war to see what greatness can possibly become of these precious diverse charges, in each their way and in each their time.

Surrogate figures come to exist where I had spent my fair share of working treatment center hours. Many heroic brother, sister, and parental figures have and still walk beside me every day, and a few are uniquely blessed to be surrogate grandparent figures, like me.

The daily works of those successful parental figures I have observed are an exceptional art form unto themselves, and I smile in awe as a witness to the best of them. Ownership, Admin, Safety, Education, Therapy, even Maintenance all get involved in maintaining positive, yet firm and challenging, parent-like interactions with each child client. Trust, professionalism, and follow-through seem to be the greatest currency there. These are often knights of the highest order who, even well-paid, sacrifice much fulfilling their given task. The treatment family is not the only family these Knights love and bear responsibility for.

The best brother and sister figures tussle, tease, play sports, and sadly, are most often called to contain the sometimes brutal blind violent rages of trauma recovery, using only care, bare hands, and wisdom. Heroic is truly an earned word. Thank you for them, their fitness, and for radios.

It is the finest of these concerned young adults who are able to correctly contain, calmly remain, and under what can be brutally emotional output, maintain everyone's health and dignity to the best possible standard that ultimately last in this type of work.

If ultimately unable, impossible life or financial circumstance, distance, personality clash, or valid criminal charges tend to filter those needing a different cup of this proverbial tea or, when warranted, incarceration. It is not a profession for the angry, weak-spirited, unreliable, or ultimately vile and nefarious.

I had, in several programs, witnessed the smallest stand calmly before angry giants and giants tenderly hold the smallest from dire moments of self-destruction. I personally witnessed some few years back the heroism of a crusty, overweight special ed teacher vault the walls of a 6-foot bathroom stall, like an Olympic gymnast, to prevent a distraught teen in the process of slitting her own throat with a found piece of glass. Some are called by higher voices to react and serve.

This work may not last a lifetime for some; it can itself traumatize, but time served well by each one, I have come to know well or just in passing, is now held fast to my own priceless memories and certainly ultimately appreciated by all lives, increased of peace and by them effected.

For each of these good lives present, having sincerely made a stand for the future of so many or even one, to be a bit easier to handle, I bow personally, a sincere and heartfelt thanks for that valued time and courageous act of special service. Bless you and Carry on.
