To my children and any future grandchildren and descendents As We Dissolve by Imperative Reaction
I wish you could know I wish you could see I wish I could show you What it was to be Alive before we knew the world that you now see
As we endure What is to come Please know I'm sorry For all that we have done
Time won't wait As we dissolve Giving in to our fate That won't absolve The lies we told ourselves To minimize the pain Our denial of the truth Leaves us with the blame
I wanted so much more I wanted everything Now what can we show for All we used to be We are too far from the shore Drowning in debris
As we endure what is to come Please know I'm sorry For all that we have done
Time won't wait As we dissolve Giving in to our fate That won't absolve The lies we told ourselves To minimize the pain Our denial of the truth Leaves us with the blame

easy-going, chatty at times, mostly keep to myself (but talk to me and I'll talk back), A Taurus with a Scorpio rising in many ways through and through, pregnant with my third child - I know it's not the best situation but my life can't be put on hold forever, planning third home water birth, practiced attachment parenting and EC'd both children, hoping to make the world better or at least reduce my harm to a minimum
I want the world be be safe and kind, and to have leaders we trust for apathy and indifference to be OK and possibly even preferable. Where being busy with your own life shouldn't be contributing to massive destruction of people, society, the economy, the planet and all its inhabitants. Where just sticking to the norm is as least harmful as possible and results in genuine benefit. Why should apathy be so dangerous? Why can't we just live our lives without having to fight for what's right all the time? Why can't we get politicians and leaders and people in power who we can actually trust? Why must everything be in such a mess that we can't relax?
My kids were taken into foster care and Child Protective services aren't even sure why - just a "misunderstanding" and "processes now they did" as excuses
My Philosophy
Left up to their own free of harsh society and unnatural practices people are good and able. Governments should be a central body to pool resources and provide infrastructure individuals can't so easily provide, and which don't turn profits.
What Gives Me Hope
Lateral and logical thinking is starting to be more highly valued than parrot learning and encouragement in blind faith and trust and not asking questions
If I were Mayor, I'd make the world a better place by
Educate social workers as to the benefits of attachment parenting and positive parenting and teach them it's not neglect either developmentally or emotionally. And that positive parenting is not immature or irresponsible and does not mean a parent doesn't set boundaries. And make these things invalid reasons to allege neglect.
What/who changed my life and why
when they destroyed the Corridor of Green in my city. Before that I was going to be an environmental scientist. That event had me so depressed I couldn't stand the idea of working to protect the environment and going unheard all day every day
