Happy New (Lunar) Year's Eve !

  To wandering and falling

through gravity's lessons

as often as you do...

near such time and space

 of flying like a serpent

 with wings

 across another field

 of fresh powder--awaiting a

 blue Sea's limitless tide.

still...

Learning with more frequency that being naive is meaningless,

 if you are lucky with the green people and perfectly burnt toast.

The Answer to the previous spout out of me : executives and politicians too often understand so little, about this poem written by a monk, honoring Kuan Yin's grace and wisdom.

75 THE WRONG WAY UP It’s not a good idea to climb a mountain with a tiger, You’re wobbly, you’re nervous, every move you make is tense Suddenly something you remember could help you now – And if you do what you learnt then you won’t fall foul.

Offered with a sense to ask a few when decision makers are nervous as a result of too many misconceptions scattered, who really bears the burden ?

or

"Snow has been falling like crazy the last couple of days and the weather forecast is currently calling for 14-25 inches of fresh powder to fall tonight."  Cheers 1 - and smile.

Wake up America and take care of your indigenous peoples NOW !

Because many of our ancestors and forefathers' past actions were inexcusable, it does not mean that such atrocities should continue being allowed for by modern society's men and women; or at least, not by those of us who are still capable of speaking and acting from our hearts.

  So again, I ask that you WAKE UP and help our indigenous peoples, who once had such a great pride and nobility in their way of life.

 Efforts to help them regain a better quality of living at any cost is not too much to ask, which in reality is nothing a few executives and/or politicians could not do from their own pockets, were they to choose to be philanthropists with a relationship to reality.

Is the word "philanthropy" somehow never defined for its students by Ivy League college professors...?  Based on my observations, it seems that our so-called "leaders" commonly have shown all of us how to be philanderers instead.
