Contraction v. Expansion

"Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
I can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see

'Cause people, they come together
People, they fall apart
And no one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find

People, they come together
People, they fall apart
And no one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace

'Cause people, they come together
People, they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

People, they come together
People, they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

We are all made of stars
'Cause we are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
'Cause we are all made of stars
We are all made of stars
We are all made of stars"


We live in a world of corruption. Where things like this (see below video) are what we have to navigate day in and day out. Its very understandable that its hard to know what is what when the systems we put our trust in....aren't really working for us. When the potentially helpful discoveries being made are silenced or lesser ones being put behind large price tags and all sorts of other hindering things. We are each on our own journey we must traverse. Fear based responses and retaliation, although comfortably familiar, are part of the old, be part of building the new. Be part of the expansion. Be part of the solutions.

Yes yes and... Yes!
We are the world, we are the future...

I'm in awe of how the people's are uprising in a very considered, emotionally intelligent, conscious and heart led way...
Melting the old - alchemy ...
Standing forward without shame, standing in truth.
The light is shining brighter than all ways , the truth of love is radiating to the new world ( gee I sound like the hippy that I am !
John Lennon was so spot on..

Human spirits are so magnificent the collective... The God consciousness..
We've been through enough

So. Moby my hero

People, they come together
People, they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars

Hey @Sunshine did u listen to his recent album sheer masterpiece..

Also reading your expression today made me think of Pink aka Alecia Moore..
What a message in some of her songs
Album - I'm not dead - track -Dear Mr President
Album - Beautiful traums - Track -what about us
Album - hurts to be human - Track- of the same name feat Khalid..

Another day in paradise here... Flaring bad since Friday... Few tears when the Amazon man was rude cause I didn't answer the door IMMEDIATELY.. I told him to chill... He was a bit scary though - I suspect extra testosterone in his system..
Then I remember it's not about me and see life for a moment through his lense... Ye I'd be pisted too..

Spoke to the man living opposite he has it real bad.. He shows me a truth... That I'm not dying... Well not yet anyhow.
Need to reconsider the home help situation she isn't coping too well... Have given it to God for now..

Sunshine here today... The sun always helps..

Hope it's ok to end on a ME note..
How is today for u sunshine ☀️x x
 
hi emma :heart:
i'm happy i saw this tonight
you lifted my spirits.

i am in a not fun place with my husband tonight..
i bought premade carnitas for dinner with everything cooked and chopped etc (for them, i obviously can't have it) ... and who knows it could have been the color of the package, the texture of the meat...but it set him off into a rage...when all i tried to do was good. My world feels like Alice in Wonderland. Nothing makes sense. Everything that is up is down and down is, up. I even bought him a tiny small gift with a heart note on counter. There is no thank you, no anything. I don't have expectations but i also am so tired of punishment. Tired hardly begins to describe it. I hope i heal one day so i can move far, far away from here. Sometimes i daydream that my brother would let me live on his land in a little hut...and i would just live a hermit for the rest of my days...but a content hermit, at least.

i have not heard his new album.
i should listen..
sometimes lyrics hit ya just quite right
yes, so much going on in the world right now
i feel parts of me have been waiting for these days since 2004,
although not like this, of course.

"I wish it need not happened in my time" said Frodo
"So do i" said Gandalf
"and so do all who live to see such times.
But that is not for them to decide.
All we have to decide is what to do
with the time given to us." -J.R.R Tolkein

i'm sad tonight emma but thanks for checking in.
i'm sorry you are having a bunk week as well with strange happenings.
sending much healing love and light to your body tonight.:heart:
