As the sensory overload begins to fade, the stress from an adrenaline oriented, prescribed life gives birth to peace.  It is in the stillness that obstacles are breached and solutions flow in.  The very idea of celebrating peace lays a goal on the table.  It is difficult to celebrate an experience one has yet to have.    Yet some days celebrating the idea can be the very thing that turns a dream to reality.

      After being raised in this inherently selfish society- I am a bit skeptical of the general masses having the ability to make that shift.  It saddens me to see the way we treat our peers, and especially our babies.  Though most of these horrendous actions are driven by either ignorance or fear--NO ONE HELPS.  

     Where I live the police have been on a small killing spree.  Their victims include drug addicts ( who may have very likely provoked an ugly scene)  There is one, and I will tell his story as an example.  Otto Zhem suffered from mental and physical limitations.  He was behaving erratically in a gas station.  This was in a rotten area of town-- the police were there.  This individual was a child trapped in an adult body, and his unusual antics alarmed the authorities.  I believe there were four officers there that night, and every one of them was able to return to their normal lives at the end of their shift.  But first, they had to kill Otto.  They claimed that he threatened them- but the security tapes show nothing of the sort.  This man did not commit a crime, but his simple life was cut way too short.  Not one officer was fired, or reprimanded in any way.  There was a tiny investigation to shut the public up- and it was good enough for most of them- but not me!! I know that I am not alone either because this man's mother feels a pain every day that I would not wish upon even John McCain. :)  

  The point is, our liberties as a "WE" are being severely violated.  I don't see many people doing much.  I long to do SOMETHING_- but have no clue what.  I don't believe that Global Warming is the number one issue America needs to look at.  WE NEED TO LEARN SOME HISTORY LESSONS.  ( PLEASE__ BEFORE IT REPEATS!!!!)   I beg of you all, read the Constitution(CAREFULLY), Look at some alternative media sources. GOOGLE RON PAUL. Then close your eyes and remember the land of the free they taught you about in school---DOES MODERN AMERICA TODAY EMBODY THE AMERICAN DREAM --OR RESEMBLE IT IN THE LEAST BIT AT ALL????? WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO YOU WANT YOUR BABIES TO GROW UP IN????

the tickle of sunshine on my nose

the texture of sand between my toes

the sound of a baby

little, round, and sweet

the sound of the small man

loud stomping of little feet

one more story mom please

giggles over a sneeze

silence after a busy day

relax and throw your cares away
