Remembrance Day

May all those Warriors that gave their sacrifice and learnt some hard lessons, be honoured today. I don't condone War at all but I simply see all the lessons that humanity learns as valid in our spirits unfolding and enlightenment. Wado.

Why is this any different?

Imagine you are walking down the street and a person dressed in rags, maybe pushing a shopping cart and perhaps having a bit of a smell, comes up to you and asks if you could spare some change for various reasons.

Now Imagine you are walking down the street and the same thing happens, ONLY the person is a very well dressed and clean and sober mature woman.

Would your action towards each person change because of their outer shells? Why? Do you feel responsible for what a person does with the money you give? Why do you? It's a simple question..."can you spare some change?" I don't own the recipients life or feel that I am responsible for his or her path so what difference does it make?

Perhaps the lesson of people living on the street, besides the major obvious ones, are that we all learn a lesson towards ourselves when confronted...assumptions, superficiality, condescension, classisms, ego,humility...it is all there folks.

funny thing about egos

The other day I was shopping and as I went through the checkout, the cashier asked if I wanted to donate a dollar to a charity. I said yes and she gave me a little thing to put my name on so I could show everyone that I gave (it would be put up on the wall with others). Thinking of how showing others my good work is just another ego thing, I wrote "just a girl" on the name section. I then hoped that the cashier would see that so she could see what a humble person I am. LOL. It's a constant learning it is.

If only I could get paid...

So now that I am also on a site that pays for articles, albeit a small payment, I am rather thoughtful now on whether I should post things here or keep them for the paid site. Sigh. I do like my blogspot! I recently went to Roslyn, Washington home of the fabled Cicely,Alaska and Northern Exposure tv fame. I love the people of Roslyn, they seem gentle and sweet humble people. Maybe the show colours my perceptions. I loved going back to the 90's andmy love affair with this show and it's characters. I didn't know what to expect but I was happy with what I saw and felt.

Bump it

I'm watching a commerical for an item called "Bump it". This Bump it is supposed to give you an option to lift your hair up towards the back. I can't stop thinking everytime I see these things, and women wearing their hair this way, that they must have fallen and have a great goose egg at the back of their skulls. I guess I'm not a fan.
