"Super Saila"

This is a painting I started a couple of years ago and just now wrapped it up.

To be or not to be boxed.

It's far easier to see the contents of a box from the outside rather than to attempt to see the contents while all mushed up inside one....Lalepop'

A shaker of bushes.

For I,
shaker of bushes,
do watch the birds fly,
to write me a message,
upon my Love's sky....Lalepop'

Tellin it the way it is, is the way.

Lest it not be fully realized, George Bush and his Republican associates bled our country of it's "life's blood", it's economy, taking it From a 5.6 trillion dollar surplus to a 10 trillion deficit!

That's a total of 15.6 trillion dollars that was sucked from the American economy during his time in office.

If this, in itself, does not show u the "character" of the Republican party, God help ya.

Republican thieves and they are that, thieves of the highest order, have padded their pockets with money/power at the expense of everyone else.

And now they want the presidency again.

How stupid do we want to be, my fellow countrymen, how stupid do we want to be?...Lalepop'

The marvel of searching...

Searching and looking we all,
inquiring as to what our blindness sees,

Wanderings of what's,
of that's and got's,

till alais the sighting,
of marvel's face,

first fruits of the pain,
that came with the searching......Lalepop'

Don't know about u but here's me...

It crosses my mind to trade my own unfolding, God given, dream for another's but that's all that it does, crosses! ......Lalepop'

It's enough to believe in the truth.

Anyone that believes that life liberty and happiness are intrinsically tied to financial wealth(nothing is further from the truth)will have none of the three in lasting abundance....Lalepop'

Into it...

Into the world,
over the eyes,
have yet to see,
into the skies!...Lalepop'

The Universe awaits

Each day may be slipped,
beyond it's own cloud,
nakedly gloriously thee,
the call of the heart,
the call of the free,
the call of eternity ! ...Lalepop'

"High Ground", the painting.

Growth happens!

Suppose, "It is ur job to wind it up and my job to unwind it and we each know we are doing our jobs using; words only".

Than, no offense should be taken in spite of all, for I am doing my job and u are doing urs.
He who "gets this" gets politics. Politics is designed to spur  growth.

He who doesn't "get this",as their job, sees it quite differently and is moved to judgment in the world, beyond words, and growth happen.

Everything is the way it's supposed to be right now!....Lalepop'

MBC's forgot!

The wealthy, "Make Believe Christian", conveniently, forgets that "it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven"...Lalepop'

Make the chaff "make believe".

Maybe the acronym MBC (Make Believe Christian) could be used in our discussions so as to avoid lumping in the good with the bad.
In the same way, MBM (Make Believe Muslim) could be used to refer to the Islamic extremists.
Separating fact from"make believe" is a good thing! ...Lalepop'

The Wisp

It is the land,
that is at the mercy,
of the water's whims,
and the Earth spins,
as leaves take leave,
of the tree in the wind,
at the base of eternity's mountain,
there's a fountain....Lalepop'

Blind no more.

There was a time,  

when we didn't see the snake,
that lived on our shore, 

but no more.

There was a time,

when we didn't see the snake,

on the banker's floor,

but no more.

There was a time,

when we didn't see the snake,

at justice's door, 

but no more.

There was a time,
we were blind to our very core,

than truth said to us,

"You are blind no more"!....Lalepop'

The case against compromise.

 I've known lots of "self reliant" folks in my life time that had no "job" but they worked at the task of survival and didn't compromise their value as a basic human being like so many have already done. Compromising the basics of humanity only leads to a growing emptiness as many are, at this very moment, experiencing.... Lalepop'

Riding the cycle...

Lalepop'

The status quo....

"Conventional" thought is as a rain cloud growing ever larger till at last it falls from the sky in preparation for a new day, a sunny day! ....Lalepop'

In so many ways "the system" says.....

"Do the responsible thing; sell ur soul to me"!...Lalepop'
