Fredisms

After the early morning, hot yoga class,
a woman said there was a label stuck
to my foot. I pulled it off.

Thank God it read ‘organic’ and not
‘Walmart’.

Terror by Non-Terrorists

We sell weapons to A, B and C,
then watch them kill US on TV.

Dog                      God

Barack Obama sounds African to me.

Africans kill each other with machetes and eat their babies.

Obama has probably eaten babies. He could be a baby eating killer.

I can’t vote for him.

Besides, he doesn’t look like an American President.

You say, “Thinking is essential”.

I say, “Thinking is the story and being is the librarian”.

Her fingers touch my skin

Fredisms began as scribbled notes on a yellow legal pad, while driving at between 10 and 70 mph. I have learned to drive while scripting the fast flowing thoughts with my right hand.

Someone asked if I had a death wish. No, I don’t. This is how I access what you read here. Lately, more of these works are coming while I’m out walking the local trails with Kaia.

She said the 9 year old Sioux kid had attempted suicide 3 times, the last time just 5 days ago.

I had the opportunity to play and speak with this child.

Afterwards my heart bled sorrow.

123

Why is war called a bitch? Its man that orchestrates it.

Now life is something else.  We never know what it’s going to offer one moment to the next.

116

Who gave man all the credit?

I thought it took 2 to start a family.

120

We are so proud of our ‘We the People’ document.

LIVE!   LOVE!   (Doesn’t that say it all?)

We may need a wake-up call to accept that simple mantra.

HEADLINE NEWS: Rogue Planet Heading This Way!

What do we know?

We don’t know what we know.

If we knew what we know, we’d know what we think we know

leaves space on a pinheads.

114

Tonto and Pocahontas served their white masters.

Now they serve their master’s master.

Bearing the cross.

When I die, you die with me.

My ‘you’ is the only one in existence.

115

Some say, ‘nuts kill themselves’.

Others say, ‘nuts seed the earth’.

What’s your take?

106

Gravestones are above ground.

Life teems beneath.

Isn’t that odd?

79

May all beings, known and unknown, knowing and not, love.

77

One is not better than the other.

Head builds the road.

Heart travels without rage.

A love of life is a life of love.

74

We say, ‘My way or the highway’.

I support the high way.

Love is more expansive than any God in here, out there, anywhere.

Be love to know God.

68

in the infinity of life.

66

This that and the other

or

This that and the other create another.

65

is 3 + 5 words.

64

Spirit encompasses thought. Not the other way around.

63

Breathe     Love

62

Do you think maybe She became sHE?

61

Someone said, ‘When the student is ready, the teacher will appear’.

I said, ‘Does that mean when I’m preening in the mirror I can say

‘Thank you for appearing’?

60

She said,

“Being born into this world sucks.”

That’s one way of looking at it.

in a strange land.

FEEL   PEACE   FULL   HERE   NOW

smaller than bull ring

larger than wedding ring

she hopes   he smiles

at the alter.

58

The child equates trust with deception and suffering.

Now let us look at that adult.

57

Picture this!

Your daughter elopes with an alien in Mexico. He is a Martian descendant. Now what?

God is God.   No god

black white rainbow red yellow brown

some thing   no thing

dead   or   alive

God is God.   No god.

No matter what who how He She It appears   to me

God is God.   It’s simple.

The other evening while engaging with others in deep spirit work, a rush of emotion crinkled my face awash with joy. A woman turned to me and asked, “Why are you so happy”? My immediate response was, ‘Because I am and can be’

We have a need to interpret, judge and justify our emotions when it may be best to experience them and move on to the next.

You wanna be love   d?

2 steps!

1st)   No   if   when   but.

2nd)  Love    Simply love.

“I think people get nervous around me.”

Go home and ask, ‘Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most nervous of them all”?

Each flake may gladden or sadden.

Take a look at snowflakes and dandruff.

BREATHE     HEAR     NOW

How often do we walk the talk and forego the locomotion?

108

LOVE

and love will do the rest.

Invincibility is a human construct,

for even the best defense will crumble.

101

Consciousness, experience and choice are inexplicably related.

95

There’s that Man-child slipping away every now and then, for more brick and mortar,

just to be sure, just in case, just because some habits are hard to break.

Our children’s i’s are more important than their eyes,

but certainly less important than our I’s.

It takes the 2 to tango.

In our language, 1 of the 2 is an add-on

The roots are male and man. What are the add-ons?

Early on, one add-on was spelled ‘woe’.

Don’t take my word for it.

118

The heart core is not the hardcore.

71

Removing ice cubes from the tray allows for easy manipulation. Freeze that same amount of water in one container and observe the difference.

We’ve got to get together people. We’ll live here a lot better as one body of love.

104

The Human Race

It does appear to be that way, doesn’t it? A race I mean. There is a race to the top, for the cure, to the end. We look forward to the weekend, early retirement, more money, better friends, a great body and peace on earth.

How many presents are we missing in the here-now?

When I look in the mirror, reflected back is the me I am in words.

When our forebears viewed their reflected images before words, what were their thoughts?

Every strand of a web is bound by every other.

All beings, human and not, are connected as life.

75

Change what you see. The picture will change.

Choose what you see. You get what you choose.

Your choice!

70

A sun flowers.

93

pews, religion and rugs are non-essentials.

100

The body of Christ is quite tasty.

56

The Left says, ‘Read this book’.

The Right says, ‘Read this book’.

How many will say, ‘Read all books and make up your own mind’?

122

When power is a tool,

we use it to obtain some thing.

Folks say,

I am my brother’s keeper.

I suggest,

I am my brother,

for there is no other.

55

Why want
when you are All-Encompassing?

If love was a ritual

there’d be little ritual

with a whole-lot of words.

54

Let silence prevail.

Love is precious beyond words.

53

Talking about guns

my dad used to say,

‘I got the gun that brought you into this world and I got the one that can take you out’.

What i think I become.

I dive into a haystack and become Van Gogh’s sun.

42

The illusion of lifetimes.

Now and then?     Do overs?

Fuck that!

Before?   After?   Results?

Wipe the slate clean.

Now is all we got.

NOW!

The gardener reaps joy from her attention to and choice of seeds.

She reaps what she sows.

Amend your choices to mend your garden.

Amen.

97

You ever be driving along, when a critter skitters across and you glance in the rear view mirror?

A child is born

The other evening while engaging with others in deep spirit work,  a rush of emotion crinkled my face awash with joy. A woman turned to me and asked, ‘Why are you so happy?’.  My immediate response was, ‘Because I am’ and added ‘and can be.’

We have a need to interpret,  judge and justify our emotions, when it may be best to experience them and move on to the next.

The old man says, ‘Flying is from here to there. Where is there? There and no where are the same. Try being there when you’re here, here, here ”

Mind says, ‘For me to function logically I need from there to here to there. An empty mind is no mind. Which do you prefer, mind or no mind?”

I prefer both.

When I’m in the woods leashed to Kaia, she takes the lead. I follow.

When I’m ready, we head home. It’s difficult to surrender in/to life.

Our walks are getting longer.
