Freedom is the child of choice
and the victim of force.
Do we have the freedom to choose peace
or are we forced to eat weapons?
Do we have the freedom to caress nature
or are we forced to ravage her generosity?
Do we have the freedom to love one another
or are we forced into the slums of differences
infested with roaches of prejudice
and rats of fear?
Do we choose freedom
or do we serve the banksters of force?

There seems to be no limit to their arrogance as they hurry scurry here and there causing damage where ever they go.
They have no roots to feel the pulse of the earth and hear its rumblings throughout the world.
They cannot see the quality of light and know the messages of the sky.
The wind cannot tell them tales of distant dramas because they don’t understand the language of smell.
They don’t feel the passion of the seasons or appreciate the symphonies of rain.
Life itself tastes dull to them and they disrespect its love.
If I had their limited emotions I would probably pity them.

Children love scary masks, evil masks.
Evil, on the other hand, loves to wear pretty masks.
Democratic masks, for example, are worn by the people who killed the parents of 4 million children in Iraq.
These children wear masks that makes them look like children. Don’t be fooled by their almost not scary masks. There’s no childhood in a war zone.
And don’t be fooled by the pretty words coming from the smiling masks on the faces of evil.
“Hard hearts can’t survive without a soft face.”

We are taught in school that nature’s greenery results from chlorophyll. No one ever asks why chlorophyll is green. We could as well be told that the green is the result of the blue sky and yellow sun.
A magnesium atom captured in the pocket (heme group) of a chlorophyll molecule breaks light in such a way that green remains. Magnesium is responsible for nature’s greenery. Other atoms break colors differently and cause the spectrum of the flower parade.
The pocket of a chlorophyll molecule is nearly identical to the pocket of the blood protein hemoglobin. But hemoglobin captures an iron atom. The iron atom bears responsibility for blood’s red color.
Because the key difference between blood and chlorophyll is a single atom—iron or magnesium—nanotechnology and gene modification techniques may some day produce human hair that can gather energy directly from the sun. Perhaps. Get ready for new energy-green hair styles.

Modern fashion dictates the removal of pelvic body hair. When this protective and ventilating hair is removed bacteria finds it easier to get to the skin. Especially if the skin has been irritated by tight-fitting cloth. Rashes and ailments have increased as this body hair has decreased. Sales of creams, ointments and pills have also increased.
I wonder if the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industry have agents in the fashion industry.
“How many victims has fashion harvested along the road to vanity?”

Sometimes we find ourselves in a strange place, in strange surroundings. Then, more than ever, we should stand tall and be ourselves. If we must stand out, we should try to do it beautifully.

This giant troll sits on the top of the little shopping center in Gamleby (”Old Village”, pop. 3000) He beckons you to enter and buy; food for dinner or shoes for dancing.
The people seem to like him. Or are they afraid to disobey him?
In any case, they enter the shopping center, buy stuff and come out again. Seemingly unchanged.
“Work to buy, drive to buy
walk to buy, live to buy.
By and by it’s time to die,
bye-bye, bye-bye.”

The light that shines from us is a reflection of the light we’ve received from others.
This light can discover dancers in the dark and singers in the night.

The iron arrow points to the light and says, ”It’s time to follow me.”
The flowers say, ”We are the light in the form of life. We only follow the dictates of beauty.”
“We should be careful of following solid directions in a changing world.”
