"ONLY LOVE PREVAILS" ...."I've loved you for a thousand years; I'll love you for a thousand more....."


As we are in the winter of our lives, I dedicate this to Andrew, Dr. John J.C. Jr. and Gary W., MD, (who has gone on before us). My love and admiration is unfathomable for each of you..........and what you have brought into this world.....so profoundly to me.
The metaphors are rich and provocative; we're in them now. This world is indeed disappearing, and the richest eternal world awaits us!
The intensity, as was in each of the three of us, is in yellow!
In my heart forever.........

Slowly the truth is loading
I'm weighted down with love
Snow lying deep and even
Strung out and dreaming of
Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world

We're threading hope like fire

Down through the desperate blood
Down through the trailing wire
Into the leafless wood

Night falling on the city
Quite something to behold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This disappearing world


I'll be sticking right there with it
I'll be by y
our side
Sailing like a silver bullet
Hit 'em 'tween the eyes
Through the smoke and rising water
Cross the great divide
Baby till it all feels right

Night falling on the city
Sparkling red and gold
Don't it just look so pretty
This disappearing world
This
disappearing world
This disappearing world
This disappearing world


TECHNOLOGY..........

In “Conversations with God”, by Neale Donald Walsch, there is a warning I think of. I refer to it as the Atlantis passage, and I've quoted it a few times before." As I have said, this isn't the first time your civilization has been at this brink,"

God tells Walsch. "I want to repeat this, because it is vital that you hear this. Once before on your planet, the technology you developed was far greater than your ability to use it responsibly. You are approaching the same point in human history again. It is vitally important that you understand this. Your present technology is threatening to outstrip your ability to use it wisely. Your society is on the verge of becoming a product of your technology rather than your technology being a product of your society. When a society becomes a product of its own technology, it destroys itself."

Susan Boyle - "I Dreamed A Dream" (and my Happy New Year's Wish to All of You!)

Who can ever forget Susan Boyle's humble  and amazing appearance  of a woman from Glasgow who followed her dream, albeit late in her life, and appeared on Britain's Got Talent. Her entire performance, and reactions from the audience and panel,  are  quintessential ... archetypal.

If you can see through your tears, with which the men had a bit of a struggle,  realize that you would be emoting with most of the audience!  Prior to the song, the men were slightly sarcastic and condescending in their expressions.  She cleared exceeded all expectations. The men's expressions  on the panel transformed into shocked joy...joy....for this sound which came from a unexpected  source, almost dampened by our own, and the panel's,  projections. And, one could speculate they had on their most open, innocent, and  and wide-eyed expressions of wonder. It was so delightfully moving to watch the panel's reactions!

Please watch all of the video.  I think it is a wondrous song to say farewell to 2017, and even more so to open our New Year. We all have dreams ... lots of them .  Susan's energy in this song awakens our dreams with  courage, strength, and pride.

Okay, I'm out. I am going to watch it again, and again and again! And not even wipe away my tears of wonder!

There was a time when men were kind.
When their voices were soft.
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind.
And the world was a song.
And the song was exciting.
There was a time...
Then it all went wrong.I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high
And life worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die.
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,

No song unsung, no wine untasted..........

"Let's Pretend" - Michael Crawford

I don't think there is any Christmas carol I don't love.  But Michael recorded "Let's Pretend" for "Save the Children" in 1988 . Since then it has always been acclaimed for its poignancy and respect for children.

I followed his work for several years; his dedication to the children of this world is renowned. In my heart, the seeds were carefully planted. They have been there since. I listened to much of his music, and read of his dedication. This song presents the core of the profound caring of people who are vested in these children's futures.

I never hear this "proposal" for worldwide children without tears on my face. My belief system is indeed eclectic. I will share a conversation I had with a deep friend once, who had the same inclinations in treating children. We were "fantasizing" (or maybe not!) about what we would do once we were in the afterlife. We smiled because we both wanted something to do that we •loved• , since that would be such a long, long time! Of course we were wondrous about the notion of "eternity".

We shared our dwindling fascination with any"thing" in this life. Everything material could be pretty, but so temporary. We spoke of a retreat we had been to several years before, which meditated on the utter never-endingness of what would eventually come. We did a meditation on that state, and were overwhelmed. After, my friend shared his heart's desire of how he hoped he would spend his afterlife.


After that, I shared that I would love to be at some imagined gate where, once I went in, I could meet and comfort and cheer any of the children in heaven. That imagination went long with me through my practice. Often creeping into my vision, I would smile about the magnificence of that role. I was seeing so much suffering in kids, yet their resilience was more glorious than I could ever imagine. What eternity could possibly be more joyous? Children have an endless fount of love! With my daughter and her three children. I was always deeply moved. They didn't have to say a word ... their eyes, and giggling ... sometimes so ethereal, I was completely filled with wonder.


These days as media brings us so many stories of children ... well, that imaginary (or not!) dream I had had me wonder how amazing it would be to be with children for eternity. That carved itself deeply into my heart.


"And believe that it all will come true" (line of song)





"The GOP Tax Bill Is Worse Than You Think" by Alex Kotch

Here is some updated data and analysis of the GOP Tax Bill. It is tilted more towards the rich than we think and its true cost (to our children) is much higher than claimed by the GOP.
Here are tax cut numbers for 2019. All income brackets, on average, get a tax cut. Nice. But it is heavily tilted towards upper income brackets.

New JCT estimates of conference agreement: Whether you look at near term or long run, tax bill is extremely regressive.

Would be even more so if look just at change in tax liabilities (as opposed to pre-tax income) and include estate tax effects. 1/4 pic.twitter.com/LJEz8BDVij
In 2019, JCT estimates that average income boost for millionaires is more than 3X that for family earning $40-50K. 2/4 pic.twitter.com/ZWJcvZMA7q

Here are tax cut numbers for 2027. Lower and middle income earners get a haircut, the ultra-rich get a nice tax-cut. And our children are saddled with a 1.5 to 3.0 trillion dollar deficit.

The true cost of the bill is masked by sun-setting all sorts of tax changes. If these policies were not sunset and the interest on the extra deficit was taken into account, then the deficit would balloon by 2 trillion dollars, even with dynamic scoring. IMHO, the deficit will be even higher since many of the revenue generators from business tax “reform” will not fully materialize. Also, keep in mind, that the deficit number is in addition to the estimated $10T ten-year deficit under current tax law. 



ICYMI: @BudgetHawks estimate of the final tax bill. It contains up to $725 billion worth of gimmicks, enough to increase the bill's cost by almost 50% to $2.2 trillionhttp://www.crfb.org/blogs/final-tax-bill-could-end-costing-22-trillion 
The  #CorkerKickback -
Corker defending the  #CorkerKickback by attacking Democrats — that’s what Republicans do.

“The real lesson of the kick at Bob Corker is how terrified the left is of a bill that could be a popular tax cut that helps the economy and lifts incomes.” http://on.wsj.com/2CB58lM 
Naked corruption at the highest levels.

GOP Senators who'll make money from their own tax bill:

Bob Corker—TN
Steve Daines—MT
Lamar Alexander—TN
Ron Johnson—WI
Rob Portman—OH
James Risch—ID
Jim Inhofe—OK
John Kennedy—LA
Johnny Isakson—GA
John Barrasso—WY
Luther Strange—AL
Rand Paul—KY
Orrin Hatch—UT
John Hoeven—ND https://twitter.com/davidsirota/status/942914794058792960 
No, the tax-cut for corporations and the ultra-rich does not grow the economy as much as is claimed.
Rage, rage against the Tax heist -
