Simply just us

Just a short note to show how we live.

This is to say in a

world separate for the way others life.

Simply, calmly and together.

This is how we survive.

We are happy.

Dog Whispering

Just wanna talk about dog whispering.
What a thing it is.
Abbie is here..lying at my feet, the black spoodle, chewing on a bone and calm and submissive.
I just wanna say;
corny and American that it is...
Thank you Cesar Millan for giving me the tools to make MY life better by having this dog in my life.
You made me think and care and work at being a better person.

I stood up to my mother in law.

Finally

After 37 years I said my piece.

I am done with it...I need nothing more than to have said quietly, calmly, assertively those things that had happened to me, to us, to my children, my man over all those years.

I am grateful for this little Mexican American for showing me a way to live and love and be.

I will talk more on this.

Guess I have to Say Something

He was from the 'right' she from the 'left'.

I am so so disappointed.

I don't care that she is a woman..never been my style really..when it comes to health care, love, service or politics.

I am sad.

I have to pull myself out of this.

He was not liked but was respected.

He worked hard, long and determinedly.

He is gone and I am sad.

No one understands why I feel like this, me being such a lefty.

But I do.

It was disgusting, unnecessary and vicious.

I shall move further to the left.

Sad sad sad.

For All his Faults...

Rang my sister for her 60 birthday today. She tells me she is on the road to work and pulls over. Tells me she is ecstatic about her birthday gift. I had only given her a card that sang and a bracelet...but it was the OTHER present. Our first female PM.

I wearily turned on the news.

I watched with awe with disbelief.

I wanted Julia as our first PM but not just yet..may be in 2 years time.

I watched as Kev gave his speech and found myself crying and crying along with him.
He did so much in a mere 2 1/2 years that was trying to patch up and repair the pain and suffering of the previous 11 years of Conversative Govt.

I cried for the loss of an intellectual who had faults but worked so so hard to putting things right for the poor, the sick, sufferers of cancer, the homeless, the schools, the hospitals and most of all our indigenes!

I will be fine but ...

I am mourning today for the loss of a thinking, educated, hard working PM.

He is gone...
long live the new PM.

Ah me.

Breathless

It is not China ( no invoice was sent to the family for the cost), it is not Iran ( where women can be stoned to death), it is not Thailand ( where Australians have been punished), nor Vietnam or Indonesia...
It is UTAH in the USA.

It is breathtaking, gobsmacking and disgustingly obscene that in the good "Christian" nation, in the 'Mormon' State a man is put before a firing squad and had State sanctioned murder committed upon him ( and subsequently ) his family.

This is tragic.

This is disgusting.

This is archaic and pathetic and wrong.

WRONG!

I am so so ashamed of America.

YOU should know better.

I thought it was the stupid state of Texas that only had this ancient attitude.

My heart weeps for what Utah has done, for what you do to the least you do to the great name of your precious Jesus.

You stupid stupid pathetic fools.

Time to grow up and realise that it is childish to hit back when someone has hurt you.

Put away your guns and your state sanction murders and deal with the horrors of human foibles and grow up.

Blurrrghhhhh!

I've been athinkin'

I've been a'thinkin' about why it is that men are the creators of religions.
About how every religion separates men from women.
How about each religion believing in a god that is male, makes women the subjects unto the male.
How it is that the men hold the sway, the say, the power and the control and keep women from becoming equal in every sense.
About how men, then in the name of this male god, goes to war, takes over indigenous peoples, creates a gap between the have and the have-nots, the good and the 'bad', the men and the women.

I've been a'thinkin' how men dress for power when they are 'leading' their church/synagogue/temple etc in clothing that denotes a kind of separation anxiety from women.

How they lord it over the 'congregation' ( usually more women than men) and seem to 'preach' division, anger and separation of 'them' and 'us'.
About the way men stand and deliver requirements of women.

I've been a'thinkin' of how in all this there seems to be a method of desire to claim leadership, glory, wisdom and knowledge that in fact is found in one place.
It is found in the amazing gift that women have.

I've been a'thinkin' that men subconsciously, even overtly, are frustrated that they cannot do not will not ever feel the life growing in their bellies and push new life into the world.
Because of this wars , death and destruction is inevitable because they cannot give up the idea that maybe women hold the secret of life, wisdom, truth and everlasting-ness.

To conceive, birth, suckle and hold life must be the lasting need of man to subjugate, to belittle, to cover, to convert women to a life of secondary power.

From the Jews to the Masons, from the Mormons to the Mulims, from the Christians to the Hindu's there is not ONE who incorporates fully the equality, the partnership, the truth of humanity that is woman. NOT ONE.

So the easiest and quickest way to debunk all of this is to finally realise, and realise it is ok and not frightening or chaotic at all, to realise that there is in fact NO god.

In this there is true equality, love, understanding, wisdom and freedom for all.

So men of the world.
Enough.
Coz I've been a'thinkin' and I think you all are such pathetic creatures who claw your way toward an non existant heaven on the backs of the very people who give you life.
Women.

There is no god! What a thought! What an idea to slip from under the war mongering feet of men, their power to take life, to make death come early, to speak of hatred, division and difference.

There is no god!
In that, I've been a'thinkin' is relief at last for all women in all countries.
For you my sisters are the giver of life.
Enough!!

Long time No See

Hi Gang,
Have been trialling facebook and have destroyed my second persona. So so sick of having to do that but I get far too honest and it whips back to hit me in the teeth. So here I am back again visiting blogland.
Will see how this goes again and hopefully no-one will find me surruptitiously.

Will post photos of my part of the world and what I find amazing.

Hi to Jack, Karen, Dark Times, Pete Bogs, and all you lovely thinking people out there.

love to all
Polly xxx
