It occured to me today that I am feeling progressively braindead.

I remember a time when I was on top of it, I mean, I could answer every trivia question, manage and multitask to the extreme, beat any 6th grader in a spelling bee. I'm not sure where it went all wrong, it seems like one day I just woke up minus a million brain cells. It's taking EVERYTHING for me to even string these sentances together.......

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they aren't as smart as they used to be? I understand that there are various theories regarding the shift and eliminating information that we used to store in order to keep up to the accelerated conciousness, but I feel like it is becoming more difficult to communicate and express myself like I used to. I have been really reluctant to write here due to that fact. I used to be able to read people at the speed of light & be able to adjust my personality to make them feel comfortable. I used to be able to have something to discuss with anyone, but now, it's like trying to stretch the toughest rubber band to come up with anything remotely intelligent to say. I am getting tired of talking about the weather and what horrible TV show was on last night. It seems like I have absolutley nothing in common with anyone. It certainly makes it difficult to connect and inspire my fellow brothers and sisters on this planet.

As much as I would like to use flowery, descriptions and wonderfully creative imagery for this blog, I seem increasingly determined to state the obvious. Just feeling limited in an unlimited world.

I just watched an interview with Jerry Wills this evening, I stumbled across it & did not know who he was until today. I had no idea that he was an extraterrestrial living on our planet ( I am obviously not as evolved as I thought) and it was quite interesting until he came to the point in the interview where he figures, from his observations, that we, as a society, have chosen fear over positivity time and time again. He believes that we might be on the wrong path because of these choices unless we actively start moving away from fear and start to personally set a template of joy and kindness for our fellow man. It appears that this old message has still elluded us! I was actually pretty upset after hearing that. It doesn't matter whether you believe him or not, his message was valid and something we have heard time and time again. It didn't help the fact that I still feel braindead.

I certainly don't feel like I used to and I'm not sure if I like the 'new' me. Am I alone in feeling like this? Do you feel like you are slowing down when everything else is racing past you? Are you less tolerant of things that would have never bothered you before? Do you feel like you don't know where you fit anymore?

I'm sure there are many, MANY people who are feeling the same, I would love to hear how you are managing through all of this at the moment....

Thanks for allowing me to ramble!

Peace,

Jerry Willis - Right

Well I can't speak to your feeling of being `brain dead' but I can say I have never heard of Jerry until you mentioned his name. So I went looking to see who and what he is about..and frankly- this guy is as much an extraterrestrial as the grapefruit I have in my fridge in fact I go so far as to say my grapefruit is an extraterrestrial as I can offer up as much proof to the fact as Jerry can about his foray into the realm of the unknown universe. This guy is a no different then either of us save for the fact he is willing to make an ass-hole out of anyone who suggests he is for real...Sorry to be so bombastic about it but I have been following and research this crap for so long I get tired of these idiots that find the weakness in others who seriously want to believe in the credibility in the subject and his type is all you seem to find...

are you meditating?

meditation helps when I feel this way....if the mind is sluggish, maybe try breathing into the void

Bearing Water for Brigid

Bearing Water for Brigid

Sketches for a water vessel --
bottle and message bob on waves.
Voice of Brigid calls
All who hear: Imagine
Exposed to wind, to grit, to rain
and hail,
rock faces erode

Vessel
Designated fixed space
Sacrosanct container
Conveyor through fluid
Separates
Fluidity
Creates place, surface to paint;

pure colors
blend in the dark.
Brief infusion
of giddy illusion
glows
just enough to guilefully entice.
Catch that glint, a secret
clue revealing
purpose, meaning.
Sparkling Neural net
smiles,
engaging
wild eternal child,
ages' flamboyant fool,
Glorious
Muse

(Voice rains from within)

A wound is a sacred vessel
Pain carves into flesh
Carries sense memory
Carries the seed
Of its own demise
Sentience
Engulfed in life
Learns anew to be whole

Wounded with the potential for wisdom
when eyes are are pried
from seeping, sucking, suffering
aching to censure what future we admire.
Redefine the schizm.
This wound is our project.
To heal, discover the vision;
realign the seam to fit
self-framed landscape

Let loose that genie of desire.
Ride rushing blood streams.
Build a roaring pyre of grief,
insane belief in wrathfilled deities.
Revile that old refrain: "life is pain" or a game
to be lost.
No Faustian bargain.
Just a
rambling adventure
daring
to explore
essence of ecstasy.
Don't wait for the rest to see
and demur.
Stretch your sail.
Take sight of your guiding star.
The only failure is self-denial
in favor of the vile lie
that pain is destiny
instead of faithful friend
lending energy
for change.

Slice vivid memories.
Exult in the tastes, the textures.
Enliven your way.

In the end
the vessel breaks.
There the Goddess stirs
