Squeaking On By

I have a dream. You may remember Martin Luther King Jr.’s words. One day, our economy and the market place was free of inequality. It allowed the Education System and the Criminal Justice System to be free as well. The Mental Health System was revolutionized in the process. It started with the mechanism that kept us in a cycle of classism and racism. We became aware that we as a people created the system due to our attempt at coping with our overall upset. The domination, competition, and inequality was something we became used to, but in our awareness, gradually we realized that we would have to change. The mechanism was like a motor in our vehicle that wasn’t very cost-effective and very ineffecient. We could barely enjoy our travels in life and had to put up with the backfires and congestion. And it wasn’t easy to adjust our collective dysfunction because there were state officials that would protect the Capitalistic way of life so they could maintain power and control as the mechanics that we had to go back to, promising us a successful future and encouraging us to maintain and learn how to cope with our situation as Americans. But how did we as individuals learn how to settle our differences so we could come together as conscious shoppers regardless of how much money we had and deal witht the system that humanity created? We chose to be a responsible humanity and were forced to collect ourselves so we could have a more enjoyable adventure in life as we would travel through each day more sastisfying in numbers and without leaving “them” out we were more powerful as one, i.e. the more the merrier. With our angles combined, we were the solution. And it was because we were realizing that our differences shouldn’t get in the way of our successes in life, we chose to celebrate diversity, being the difference that we wished to see and honoring our diverse backgrounds as we paid the cost of living and made light of our struggles to get by as one another there for each other. With the human condition explained by Austrailian Biologist Jeremy Griffith, it all started to make sense how we could get back to being our natural selfless humanity, only knowing that people had the right to serve whatever god they chose and only praying that one day there would be true common ground about the nature of the Divine and the potential for peace in the Heavens above. We were rising above the obstacles that we put in the way of our success ourselves, and as we made peace with our past we could more easily navigate the future and deal with our differing views that weren’t settled overnight by far, but in realizing our lack of unity besides through commerce, we began to wake up to the reality of relationship with the natural world and began forming allies with nature, allowing us the freedom from the poverty mindset, the creative, abundant, welfare we had always dreamed up. And as equals in diversity, we were able to provide for one another even though we had different beliefs about reality. Grounded in the desire for healing so we could better lift each other up, our lives were complete in our wholeness and in our fullness we were getting enough in life, finding the silence and solitude to balance our complex social scenarios, and able to tend to our multple-selves with diverse needs for optimal growth towards strengthening our weaknesses and achieving the well-roundedness that we knew we were capable of. We were strong in our diversity, and our differences were looked at as strengths. It was unclear how we were able to reform our economy besides finding the time to come together as a people in our humility and settle the constant strain that demanded so much from us all trying to get by as many had families to raise and barely had time to connect at all. It was a wonder how were able to press on into the unknown but we were the heroes of the story of life on Earth and steps were taken toward Peace on Earth, even though Religions had their set apart ways and it was difficult. But difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations and difficult solutions meant beautiful results. As Gloria Day said, Love is the only solution. So it meant for regeneration of resolutions, resolving with unconditional love even if it meant a humble approach at the powers that be in being the squeaky wheel. But where was this public eye (or ear) that a tribe or village could be persistant? As an individual it wasn’t possible to turn the page for the collective overnight because it was a heavy one and I needed the squeaky wheel to have a mainstream stage for reoccuring visibility (audibility). Oddly enough, we were patient but the sooner the better was the case and we had our moments of truth, for sure. The testing grounds of us all to see what we can do in our life potential, but I’d like to see where I can go to make our collective difference be known. Ya Po Ah! Elder ease and native peace against colonialism! Meet the need and the fulfillment will follow~
