Not too long ago some words came to me that had me ponder some more.  Sometimes just a small little thought can trigger a long winded explanation that goes beyond just a simple answer.  But nothing is ever simple when it comes to those I hear.  My simple question was: Is sex just for procreating and having children?  The question came to mind since sometimes news articles come about with the right to life and then the responses with hard religious views.  The answer to me was ‘no’ but the…

Who do YOU Trust ???

I was 8 years old when President Kennedy was shot and I remember even then many folks weren't buying the explanations for some very convoluted and hidden events surrounding the killing of JFK. However, we grieved, got on with our lives and waited for the Warren Commission…

You can just PayPal me the 99 cents and I will get it to the Yubiwaza Dragon Lady eventually.

Painting, listening to music and assembling this in between bouts of art and snacking. Got me a nice cuppa Joe and an attitude and I am ready to do battle with the Wal-Martians. I have a mix CD on with some Black Sabbath…

It has been a crazy year in work....our workload increases as our budgets decrease.  I work in the community and voluntary sector and also work outside as a volunteer in my own local community where I live - mostly with children.  

Up to last year, when I turned 50, I was going full blazes and then once my birth day turned, I decided to take a bit of a back step.  I wanted to do some things for me (and my sister who passed at 50), things we both had never done before so that is what…

Maybe the over saturation of a  film like 2012 and other end times stuff helped to short circuit the Doom Market machine for long enough to sink in to more folks that the " End O' The World " has been marketed to them for most of their lives and I'm talking OUTSIDE the realm of Christianity's Book of Revelation. I'm talking the realm of the same type of "priesthoods" that have been behind the age old exploitation and control in the guise of religion and government…

I will not say angry things about the late Princess Di in this blog nor will any animals be harmed in its production.

Just blowin' off a little steam...rather than BLOWING UP a Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart continues to symbolize all that went wrong with America and all that was wrong with it from the…

In our busy day to day lives we often forget to stop and smell the roses....so here are some of mine (and others) musings to occupy you while you have a cuppa....

We grieve for our losses but is it truly lost? Never discount anything just because you cannot see or touch it! Electricity cannot be seen but its power is all around...such is the power of the Universe and of…

May the Light of your soul guide you.

May the light of your soul bless the work you do

with the secret love and warmth of your heart.

May you see in what you do, the beauty of your own soul.

May the sacredness of your work 

bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you

and to those who see and receive your work.

May your work never weary you.

May it release wellsprings of…

I close my eyes and yet the Light

permeates the shadows.

I feel the warmth, the love, the joy.

Pure, unconditional.

I allow myself its embrace.…

Some may ask (though probably not), " Steamboat Jim, what have you got against Wal-Mart."

"PLENTY"

Wal-Mart to me is the unholiest of unions of Government, Business and yes even Religion. Of course our gummint opened the doors to cheap goods from China and elsewhere with "free trade" legislation and an abundance of Chinese child slave labor made these products abundantly cheap for…

"I'm hog-bitin' MAD !!!"

Though I have held this opinion for a while I will re-iterate here as it gets MORE and MORE relevant.

      The Two Party System Explained

  Our two party system INSURES that nothing EVER gets done to anyone's  satisfaction or in a sane and/or humane manner. A crisis MUST be maintained at all costs and believe me it COSTS…

If you were able to look inside yourself...

what would you see?

Do you think you would like

what you see?

Do you see hurt and pain and anger...?

Do you see misery and hunger?

What would you like to see?

Would you like to see 'ME'?

Who is 'ME'?

Is 'me' the person you love 

or the person you loathe?

Is your 'me' a case of

me, myself and I?

Or is your 'me' a part of the bigger whole?

I look inside me. 

I am learning to like seeing…

I recently left a community I have been part of for about 8 years now.  I am not going into all the gory details needless to say a clash of personalities took place.  Although I tried to state my case very clearly and openly with a view to having frank and honest dialogue about the issues, it didn't happen.  As one of the founders of the community it also hit me hard as I had been there since the beginning and have a lot of 'family' there.

The 'owner' of the group decided he wanted to…

Something I've said many ways and many times, but I'll keep saying it, because there will always be people needing to hear it.

Compassion for the human animal, since most people love animals, like cats and/or dogs, I find it's a helpful analogy.

For instance if I say "I love dogs, unconditionally, passionately, I'm advocate for and…

About four years ago a guy I went to grade school with set a truck in front of his house on fire and waited for the authorities to arrive. When they did he shot and killed a policeman. There was a standoff until he set his house on fire and then killed himself. Good people wondered "Why would somebody do that ?" as good people do when something like that happens. This poem is an attempt to answer that question although Trent Reznor did a pretty good job with the song "Burn". As hard as I try…

As I sit here thinking I am brought into awareness of a thought.  That we must never forget who we are.

That we should never live too focused in physicality and materialistic needs and desires that we forget that we are so much more than the reality that we perceive.  That we should never live too focused in our energetic existence and spirituality that we…
