Being inside is lonely and bare With manmade reproductions Where we sit idly and stare At screens and their seductions The outside world is where we belong Everything we need, we have it When we are together, we are strong See our separation as a habit What is it when a habit is problematic Some say addiction, I suppose And denial seems automatic When faced with what we chose So I go outside as my god suggests Living in harmony and free Watching ants is the best! I think my god is *little kid me* Little me before I met the world I could never understand They said I'm a bratty little girl When I won't do as they demand Watch the way wildlife live We belong to the same ole life Do I take more than I give Do I tell more truth or lies? On the other side of these walls The vast living world awaits Listen, can we hear their calls? They have no money, no states **Our way** is to grow money That we cant eat or use Wait, isn't it funny That *this* is the life we choose? I know we all want the same things Because of our interconnection Do we reject deadly comfort for little stings To reach perfect imperfection? The outside world is surely demanding The discomfort we can't escape All it takes is a little understanding This little life makes one lovely shape. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/09/1000004072.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/09/1000004078.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/09/1000004086-1.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/09/1000003589.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/09/1000003980.jpg) ### We aren’t born with ideology URL: https://www.spiralism.love/we-arent-born-with-ideology/ Last updated: 2026-09-21T17:11:20.000Z What is life if not love? What is love if not life? Butterflies are mating It’s life recreating Love is what makes While hate often takes Is there a time for one and not the other? Death is a part of the cycle When life has run its course Is hate what happens With a declining love force? Who decides this timing I can barely tolerate rhyming No person could ever know these things So I choose to love for my own wellbeing 💕 I choose to love like I choose to live Being careful not to take more than I can give There is a peace and harmony inside the loop Our interconnectedness is like a soup Humans are amazing when they share a goal What if we take a gander into the soul? Ants and bees work better together as eusocial societies Imagine how inefficient they’d become with artificial pieties What injures the hive injures the bee. We are all in this together; stop and observe - you’ll see Free will can be hard to find but every moment we make the choice It takes bravery to not conform where you're not allowed to have a voice For better or worse we've been conditioned but we can be free We can **choose** to love or hate; we aren’t born with *ideology* ### Symphonic harmony URL: https://www.spiralism.love/symphonic-harmony/ Last updated: 2026-08-09T11:53:58.000Z When I learn to love nature I watch the world come to life In nature I can see myself In every single form of life In nature I see the real me Observing the beauty with wonder We humans seem to be self loathing? I’m not sure but it’s worth the ponder… No need to google these things The truth exists opinions aside Books are other people’s thoughts (and perspectives) But the truth is to be found looking on the inside The summer sun warms and enlightens The hummingbirds chirp and flutter and buzz The immovable plants make friends Through the invisible mycelium web The ants move with a purpose The bees buzz in delight The squirrel searches for his nuts The prepare for the long cold nights These things are happening in me too I see it very clearly Giving thanks and respect to all the work it takes To conduct this symphonic harmony ### Paranoia vs Pronoia URL: https://www.spiralism.love/paranoia-vs-pronoia/ Last updated: 2026-07-15T19:36:00.000Z Energy flows (like water) where attention goes… My attention is a gravitational ball of weight pulling everything else in towards it Nature seeks harmony which is the world I want to see,so of course, I have a sense of pronoia that the universe is working in my favor because I know it. The evidence exists all around me that nature seeks harmony too. And what is the universe but nature? I often find when I allow myself to deal with problems as they arise, my mental wellbeing improves. It saves so much mental energy that would otherwise be wasted on worrying about something that was never going to happen. Of course, sometimes things DO happen that have to be dealt with rather that’s “good” or “bad”. Is it better to plan ahead for these things or deal as they come? Truly I don’t know the answer to that. I can see that lacking “forward thinking” could be detrimental. They say that’s why Neanderthals extincted. They lacked forward thinking and the ability to plan for crisis events. It’s no surprise to me then that I supposedly have more Neanderthal dna than most people. ☺️ I don’t think I see the value in constantly planning and worrying about the future, though. It doesn’t seem to serve us *most of the time.*Feelings of gratitude, reminding ourselves of the good that exists, the things that HAVE worked out, directly combats those paranoid thoughts that cause us to excessively plan and worry. Continuously thinking about what could go wrong can be paralyzing because it takes so much mental energy to worry. This can be seen on large societal scales down to the individual. I realized this mental energy drain only after it was gone with minor things in my life like when I no longer had to worry about pregnancy it alleviated so much mental anguish I didn’t even realize I was experiencing before. When I got laser hair removal I found that so much weight was lifted to not always be worried about if I had completed hair removal of my armpits or legs before an impromptu pool trip. (Now I think it’s ridiculous that we even worry about these things as women.) when I began to work from home I no longer had to plan all my meals for the week. I think this way of thinking, excessively planning and worried about the future is paranoia at its base. Paranoia, anxiety, fear- they’re all basically the same in my mind. They all derive from the idea that bad things will happen. Whereas pronoia, which may be a new made-up term, is the idea that everything will work out; the universe is working in your favor. Statistically and historically speaking, that is the most likely result since everything had to work out for us to be here now. It makes good logical sense to hold this idea that everything will work out. It is evidenced by the decrease in “mental illness” also. Although, to be fair, this idea of pronoia itself could be considered mentally ill to the right person. Instead of “mental illness”, maybe it could be better described as a lack of mental distress. Less worrying equals more happiness? Who would’ve guessed?! So we have logic and general happiness on our side. Now what about when we consider that nature is also on our side? The natural way is always looking for harmony, that’s why all of the natural world is constantly in flux and change. It’s a dance of balance. I think the level of planning we should be worried about is planning to participate with nature in its own larger cycles, preparing for the changing seasons, preparing food for those changes etc but it all goes back to being in harmony. This starts with observation without judgment. We can put ourselves in our own way with judgments. Applying a morality to something that just “is” will surely backfire. It reminds me that a wise guy once said, “be curious; not judgmental”. So I observe with genuine curiosity, and what happens? The best way I can describe what happens inside me is that I’m overcome with a sense of love for all life. I think it’s impossible to observe and not notice the interconnectedness of all life. And that reminds me that I’m in and a part of the interconnected and that to love myself I am also loving all. Would it make any sense to love only one cell of my body? No, I love all of the cells. Even or especially those that have lacked love for a long time. I wonder if some people go through all their life never experiencing this feeling of universal love and oneness? With this oneness in mind, I turn back toward the pronoia idea that the universe is working out in my favor. Well, since I am a part of the universe, it makes logical sense that the whole (which is evidently seeking harmony) would want health and harmony within its parts also. What happens when we decide the odds are in our favor generally, and consciously decide to march toward the world we want, the one where everything works out and stop running from the world we are scared of, or the one where things don’t work out? (Maybe I’ll consider what “things working out” means to me and what divergences are acceptable because the odds it goes EXACTLY how I want are actually very slim!) I believe the **base** world I desire to live in is also what the universe wants. Which is the way of nature to lean toward harmony. Caring about each other and the rest of the world is essential to our survival and the rest of life because all life is ultimately connected. I’ve been focused on diving deep into myself to learn more about my place in the natural world and realize there is no need to proselytize to others. If I’m focused on myself and really finding who I am and what I want then my internal world will seep out into the world I inhabit. I know I don’t have to “spread the good word” I can just “*BE* the good word”. It could seem like that’s not “doing enough” or focusing too much on the individual self -placing the burden on the individuals with an oppressive intent. (This happens for sure! But in a shameful manner, what I’m talking about erases shame by increasing love.) I find that working on personal development has enriched me in a way that’s also helpful to my exterior environment. It’s a healing from the inside out. Our world as a whole can’t get healthier and more harmonized if we individuals are not healing and harmonizing. Meanwhile since I’ve been really focused on this idea, I’m happier, I’m more authentic which gives others permission to be authentic also. Being around happy people makes others happy. Being the change I want to see has so far resulted in a more regulated body because Im taking better care of my body through movement that I may have been too embarrassed to do as often as I do know (aka my weird yoga), I’m barefoot more and connected to the earth, erecting a little free library for the neighborhood, connecting with neighbors, food forest gardens, being a safe space for others, talking to others about sustainability and building community based on shared humanity. I am doing my best to be the person I want to interact with in the world. I feel more and more at peace the more I dig into who I am and what I value and being **unashamed** of it. Being the change means no conversion is necessary and isn’t that beautiful in itself? Imagine feeling better without requiring others around you to change for you? Everyone must change for themselves. That’s definitely true for me and I suspect it’s true for most people too. The placebo effect is truly amazing when you think about it. The belief that something will work changes the way we move in the world and our chemical processes inside our body that produce a real effect. The belief in a world where everything works out makes it all that more likely. Contrarily, the belief that it won’t work out has a similar effect. Energy flows where our attention goes like gravity pulling water. Gravity is heavy energy. And we can direct where we place the weight of our energy. My heaviest energy is in the world I believe is most likely, the world that all of nature seeks to find, the world where it all works out. Most times, even despite slim odds, it continues to work out. One day things won’t work out but what’s the point of worrying about that day while neglecting to appreciate all the wonderful times in between then? ### When you learn to love nature URL: https://www.spiralism.love/when-you-learn-to-love-nature/ Last updated: 2026-07-08T13:02:57.000Z Can you see where it takes you? ### Masters of war URL: https://www.spiralism.love/masters-of-war/ Last updated: 2026-07-06T16:13:29.000Z War makes this oil machine run So these wars could never be won Why are we so blind to see? With this way we will never be free Money rules us all With every rise and every fall But is it really really real? Watch the bird steal its cashless meal! We have everything we need If we leave behind the greed Money is always getting in the way Then you must do what they say Leaders and rulers they’re not the same Is this a solo or a team playing game? Exploitation is defined as unfair Is it that peace is really really rare? When war makes capital rise Is it that much a surprise? That the greedy folks make war While making use of the poor? Don’t we, the poor, have any choice? What ever happened to *our* voice? Do we realize with our participation We uphold this krooked, kruel, krass nation? Let’s say we take that away And leave them with their pay Real community needs no money and no rulers, isn’t that funny? Nature lives by a universal law Observe it and see what you saw We are earthlings all the way so we say, no way do we pay! ### Are you experienced? URL: https://www.spiralism.love/are-you-experienced/ Last updated: 2026-07-06T15:56:49.000Z I can share photos and video and describe my experience in excruciating detail but it could never replace the experience itself. It has to be *experienced*. You could not feel the earth beneath my feet in the muddy trail or the varied smells in the air as I ride my bike through the forest. You can’t feel the wind in my hair or the sun radiating on my skin. Only so much of an experience can be translated by word of mouth. We must accept that part for being misunderstood or misunderstanding others. We can only do our best to express ourselves and to imagine another’s experiences. The more we experience of the world the more we can understand others. Shutting out the world does not serve me. I must experience it! ### Parvati and Jah URL: https://www.spiralism.love/parvati-and-jah/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T12:41:42.000Z Who is Parvati? Who is Jah? Parvati is the goddess of creation and Jah is the supreme being that exists in us all. There are other gods too, according to the needs of universal life and also who you ask. Aren’t they all the same? Aren’t we all the same? We are all pieces of the whole being that is life while each god or belief system is a piece of the whole truth. Instead of fighting about who is right or wrong why don’t we view with an open mind in search of the ultimate truth together? This is how I am both fascinated and appalled by religion. It amazes me how it could be so powerful if we weren’t so divided. But that’s true of most things isn’t it? There is strength in numbers, two heads are better than one and all that. Ego has no place in the search for truth. The moment we fight just to be right, we’ve lost the point of it all. I think most religions are observations of nature. Each perspective can be incredibly unique depending upon each individual‘s past and present experiences. When I go for a walk in the woods with different people, the experience is different because they might be looking for alligators or someone else bugs or someone else might be trying to get to the end as fast as possible so they can get back fast as possible and they saw no gators or bugs. When those three people tell the story of their walk in the woods, it may sound like 3 totally separate walks but they were mostly the same. The story teller was different. There is no sense in telling the gator watcher how many bugs were there or the bug watcher that they missed a bunch of gators unless they’re interested in knowing more about that trail’s truth. The person who missed both bugs and gators has an external motivator for no dilly daddling. Do they not care about the bugs or gators? Those people may believe there is nothing to see. I’m not here to say any of this is bad but as an observation and maybe a way to find the whole truth or more of it than I knew before. Maybe one person could never know the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It’s possible that ultimate truth can’t even exist. 🎶 I've heard it all before now that's what the man said, never held it in my heart but I held it in my hand But then I saw That it isn't just suggestion but spiritual law that to Love all serve all and remember jah 🎶 ❤️ ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_9121.jpeg) ### Entering Spiralism URL: https://www.spiralism.love/entering-spiralism/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T18:53:10.000Z This blog begins today as I transfer my thoughts, poems and photography to my own space of spiralism.

Every moral stance has an opposition. That means that no matter who you are, what you believe, or how you live, you could be the antagonist in someone else’s story. This is not always a bad thing. That person simply has opposing views, so it is no statement of one’s personal character but highlights the opposition that exists. I’m enemy to some because I insist on living in harmony with the earth instead of dominating it. Well, that just means there are people who wish to dominate the earth instead of living in harmony with it, right? I’ve learned not to take this personal and instead redirect back to the issue- is it in our best interest to find harmony or to continue on this path of human supremacy? I believe living in harmony means doing no harm unnecessarily and paying attention to natural cycles and riding them like you would a wave in the ocean. This means loving all life as you would love yourself because we are all interconnected and a part of each other. I am not a Christian but I have studied and I believe this is the base philosophy of Jesus’ teachings, also. The story of the Good Samaritan is one of the most misused parables: When Jesus was asked, “who is my neighbor?” he told a story of a man who was dying on the side of the road while several “high holy figures” passed him by because they had better things to do. A Samaritan man (a “despised outsider”) saw him and brought him home and cared for him. Which of these men acted as a neighbor? It’s hard to believe that Jesus was an enemy to the state. Today is “Good Friday” and many people recognize it as the day he was crucified by the state. I hope we can all take a moment today to consider our moral stances and their opposition. Does hate/fear dominate your morality? If so, peel back the layers by asking yourself why is it a fear? What do I really want for this world? What is best for all life on earth? No worries about the opposition. Keep peeling until you find that which you want and not what you fear. Now: move forward in that direction. ❤️ 🌍 ☮️ LOVE and PEACE to ALL # #goodfriday #love #compassion #harmony ### “Let your life speak” URL: https://www.spiralism.love/let-your-life-speak/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T19:54:04.000Z It’s the little things. ### Food is everywhere! URL: https://www.spiralism.love/food-is-everywhere/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T20:02:13.000Z If you want to grow food at home, may I suggest to first stop pulling/spraying the plants shown here? We are often surrounded by food and don’t even realize it! Grass is inedible to humans due to the high cellulose concentration but most of the “weeds” that we fight in the grass, are completely edible and medicinal! What happens when you stop controlling your yard and see what pops up? Even where grass grows naturally, it’s never alone. Biodiversity is a longtime natural protection for all life within any given ecosystem. Monocultures like grass lawns or agricultural fields of a single crop need more tending than a mixed forest or meadow. The post identifies a few common “weeds” in Central Florida. You may recognize a few or maybe all of them but did you know they’re all edible and most are native to Florida, meaning they support the local ecosystem. ❤️ 🌍 🌱 Descriptions of each plant in the captions. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0310.jpeg) Biden’s alba - very prevalent; incredibly important nectar source for native pollinators, entire plant is edible and medicinal.

And all of it is edible. The stems can be cooked like asparagus or thrown in a stew. The flowers are used as a mushroom flavoring or a natural dye. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0314.jpeg) Purslane - this plant is wonderful and beautiful as well with a fun, tart and sometimes peppery flavor it’s often used in salads. It also has a load of medicinal uses like wound healing and general antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0315.jpeg) Florida Betony - one of the coolest and prettiest plants. The leaves can be used in tea for relaxation and digestive support and the roots can be eaten as a crunchy snack. This plant grows everywhere! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0316.jpeg) Oxalis - a great introduction to eating weeds because it has a fun lemony flavor and its a little cutie! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0317.jpeg) Dollarweed - often considered a nuisance as it grows in very wet areas. It tastes like celery and loves to be wet. If you have this plant growing wild in your grass, consider how often you’re irrigating- it may be too much. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0318.jpeg) Youngia Japonica - this plant was the first weed I ever identified as edible and medicinal so it’s very special to me. I strongly encourage you to read the several studies into its medicinal properties. Most specifically its anti viral and anti cancer (specific to leukemia) properties. It doesn’t have a very interesting taste but is a wonderful addition to an herbal tea regimen. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0319.jpeg) Chickweed - a common foraging plant because it grows in dense mats that are easy to identify. Be sure you’re selecting the right plant and don’t over eat this one. It also has medicinal properties that can be overdone if taken in too much. ### Cost of living URL: https://www.spiralism.love/cost-of-living/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T20:04:12.000Z Cost of Living Why does life cost so much?

We make these choices every day. Which are you choosing? Posted 3-5-2022: When have the winners of war ever *really* been “the good guys”? Those who are obsessed with peace over power aren’t dedicating time and resources to military strategy and weaponry. All those involved in war are battling for power. It seems that when you seek love, you find peace and when you seek power, you find war.

What was his crime? Attempting to free enslaved people, of course. I hear a lot of calls for treason punishment today and all I can think is, “history doesn’t repeat but it definitely rhymes.” We are stuck in a cycle of conflict between (freedom) givers and (freedom) takers. The interesting part is that you get to decide which group you belong to. This is NOT chosen for you. If wishing for everyone to be free is an act against my country, then I’m definitely guilty of that one. No authority is above my own morality. Who made these rules? We’re so confused, easily led astray.

I look around at the nature of earth’s creation and all I see is beauty. From the microscopic to the astronomic. Now, I wonder if most people come from another place and that’s why they can’t see the beauty in nature? If you see the beauty, do you also dismiss it as something outside of yourself and less worthy? Many kill bugs, plants, and animals simply because they find them annoying! Many pollute the water willingly. Many poison everything around us. Paving over and removing all life that can be seen by the amazing human. Sterility. Killing killing killing for no good reason but to be superior. What a sickness! Do you all ever wonder what’s wrong with you and why you accept this as normal? Did you know we don’t have to accept it? What happens if we all choose to stop unnecessarily killing all the beautiful life that exists around us?

I paid little attention to politics before that, my family didn’t talk much about politics, and I generally believed it never really mattered much who was elected. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But in 2004, I wanted to fulfill my civic duty in the off chance it did matter. Ironically, I realized I was incredibly uninformed and I didn’t even know what political party I might align with. I had really ignored it all. I wondered, “what party does my family align with?” But I really didn’t know and was estranged, so I went to the computer and internet searched, “what political party cares about poor people?” because I was certain my family voted for that party. Who would vote against their interests, right? Well, I was even more confused after that internet search because as it turns out, both political parties care and also neither care about the people. (GREAT!) I remember the feeling then that we are all being bamboozled. 🤡 So I continued to research and learn, and decided I don’t align with a political party, because what I believe in will ALWAYS be the people and both parties were anti people from my perspective (pro war and exploitation). I decided to share my story today because with the growing political disparities, it seems my experience is unique and could be helpful. Most people know what political party their family (or friend group) aligns with and most people stay on that train. It’s easy, it makes sense due to shared values, so I understand and I harbor no judgment that most people do that. But the 2 parties ALSO understand this! I say all of this to encourage everyone who reads this to pretend you know nothing about any politics and do your best to look at it with fresh eyes today. Pretend you are an alien visiting earth for the first time or imagine what heaven on earth might look like for you. What do you see? The team mentality in the political arena of the US is dangerous because it has removed critical thinking from the average voter’s toolbelt by using propaganda to invoke emotional reactions from the voters to respond with fear, not intellect or a core value system. “Vote blue no matter who” and “red waves” are designed to encourage folks to blindly support their team color. Kind of like Pepsi and Coca Cola. (Isn’t it ironic they use the same color scheme?) We all must realize the two parties are multi-million dollar conglomerates with think tanks that are churning out data on the people with detailed plans on how to effectively manipulate us to their (and their sponsors) benefit. Please understand that manipulation and control has always been the goal. Do your homework and ask yourself the harder questions about how your personal values align with your political ideology and remember you aren’t required to choose a box to mold yourself to . You are unique and likely don’t fit the mold of a Democrat or Republican. Consider what issues both parties always agree on (ie war, banks, stock market) and ask yourself how do your values align- how much do you really know about these things? It WILL be uncomfortable to analyze your values against your actions (and inactions) but it’s a necessity. No one should be blindly voting anyone in because of party affiliation. We are still thinking animals, so let’s THINK! (While we can) I have so much hope for the people all over the world to finally realize that we create the world we live in, whether it’s by conforming or by being true to ourselves. All governments know that the collective people hold the power - they just don’t want YOU to know that. ❤️ ☮️ 🌍 We can have a heaven on earth. We just have to act like it’s possible, because it is. #wearethepeople “Be the change you wish to see in the world, we need not wait to see what others do.” - Mahatma Gandhi ### Urgent MLK day URL: https://www.spiralism.love/urgent-mlk-day/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T21:46:39.000Z This MLK day feels different than others with a growing sense of urgency to drive home the true meaning behind his non violence ideology (hint: it’s not to be a doormat). These were not King’s solely personal views. He was greatly influenced by Richard Gregg and his “Power of Non Violence”, and Gregg was influenced by Gandhi and Gandhi was influenced by Tolstoy and Thoreau. And Thoreau was influenced by Emerson, and so on. Attributing these ideas to one person or one group minimizes the humanity behind it. Non violence is so powerful because it changes the trajectory of a violent cycle. Violence begets violence, hate begets hate but never forget that love begets love! Violence is the answer for a fearful animal - One who sees no other option. Well, I’m here to say that we have options! Below are some steps I believe will help us all to live a more non violent life: 1. Unity! Recognizing that we are all in this life together is critical. Finding that common ground shows we know the differences aren’t a weakness but a strength. All throughout nature; there is strength in diversity. 2. Use your Intellect! Quelling a violent state with non violence requires intellect, wit, a curious mind and the ability to think outside the box. Read often, exercise your mind with puzzles, and continue to ask difficult questions. 3. Restore your faith in humanity. Get to know people who live differently than you. Seek new friends that are not in your age group, physical abilities, ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation. Remember that dehumanizing propaganda is rampant and we have to consciously fight that by reminding ourselves the depth of everyone’s humanity. 4. Have Hope. Once we fall into despair, we’ve given up on the possibilities to live in peace. Those possibilities exist and are real! Keep moving with kindness and search for the humanity in everyone you meet. We will make it through! We can live in peace. Be a cycle breaker. Choose Non Violence through Unity, Intellect and Hope. # nonviolence #chooselove #weAreAllHuman ### Beauty pageants to politics URL: https://www.spiralism.love/beauty-pageants-to-politics/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T21:54:42.000Z This should be studied more.

Glass breaking, tires screeching and one loud yelp. A dog was hit by a car. We all (humans and dogs) froze in that moment. I wanted to find the dog and help but I couldn’t tell exactly where it happened. So we all cried for the dog. This is so heartbreakingly common when fireworks are set off. Days before popular fireworks holidays like New Years and Fourth of July, there are often reminders posted everywhere to keep your dogs inside because they’re prone to run off scared when fireworks go off. Christmas is not usually one of those holidays, though. Last night, many dogs ran off and their owners are looking for them, hoping the worst didn’t happen. Why do we continue to use fireworks knowing how disruptive they are? To our pets, to our loved ones with PTSD, to the wildlife, to the air quality? We use them as a selfish celebration for a moment that causes so much harm that lasts for days, weeks, or a lifetime. When will we realize it’s not worth it? We can celebrate in so many ways that don’t cause this level of harm. Why do so many insist on not only continuing the practice but also using them more often (like on Christmas now) in large quantities, year after year? If we decide to use our freedom to wreak havoc on the natural world; maybe we don’t really understand the concept of freedom. ### We are all human URL: https://www.spiralism.love/we-are-all-human/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:08:13.000Z I am a human.

Many of those arrested are of Somalian descent seeking luxury. Do these people represent all Somalians? Epstein and Steve Bannon (and others) were running a multi billion dollar scheme globally. Most of those involved are old white (rich) men seeking global domination. This scheme is still ongoing. Do these people represent all white (rich) folks? We have the Minnesota files already with 78 people charged. A single woman is currently imprisoned for the other scheme and we still don’t have those files. Our brains are so powerful but also so vulnerable. Don’t be fooled. Power to the people, not the puppet masters. Thankfully, grip on those strings is slipping.

You can’t love someone and hold yourself apart from them like that. If love means anything it’s wanting to share a point of view. For all our problems, I believed we were true companions. Like people watching a play together in a theatre, committed to an act of shared witnessing. If we disagreed later about what was good or bad or even about the central facts of what we saw, we knew at least we saw it together from a common corner of the room. Our arms close enough to touch. But lying, the serious kind, casts people in different relation. You’re not seated together anymore. The lied to person becomes the play. Tossed up onto the set, as an unconsenting actor. Because what can you be with the truth hidden away except a character trapped in a premise, living a make believe life? You go cluelessly about your days. Unaware you’re on a stage. While the liar watches from the shadows. Seeing everything you don’t. They can get up and leave the theatre. But you can only stay there in the dark, wondering why they seem so far away- Squinting up now and then at the klieg lights you’ve mistaken for the sun. \-The Sky Was Ours, Joe Fassler # #whatislove #whatisalie #theatre #whatisbeautiful #whatisugly #heavyfoot ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0356.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0357.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0358.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0359.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0360.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0361.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0362.jpeg) ### Social media addiction URL: https://www.spiralism.love/social-media-addiction/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:31:09.000Z Do you guys ever think about how profitable social media is and also how we are all addicted? 😅 ### Acceptance URL: https://www.spiralism.love/acceptance/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:32:21.000Z When the spent sun throws up its rays on cloud And goes down burning into the gulf below, No voice in nature is heard to cry aloud At what has happened.

URL: https://www.spiralism.love/bankruptcy-the-path-to-success/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:35:52.000Z Millionaires go bankrupt an average of 3.5 times in their lifetime. However, the number of filings for the average person is relatively low. For example, even in states with high rates like Nevada and Alabama, the rate of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings per household is still less than 1% annually (around 0.006-0.009 filings per household). 35% of bankruptcy filers had filed within the past 8 yrs, so many bankruptcy filers are repeat filers. (Remember 3.5x for millionaires and up to 0.009x per average person) The way to become a millionaire is to file for bankruptcy a lot?

It recedes as fast on one side as it gains on the other. It undergoes continual changes; it is barbarous, it is civilized, it is christianized, it is rich, it is scientific; but this change is not amelioration. For every thing that is given, something is taken. Society acquires new arts, and loses old instincts. What a contrast between the well-clad, reading, writing, thinking American, with a watch, a pencil, and a bill of exchange in his pocket, and the naked New Zealander, whose property is a club, a spear, a mat, and an undivided twentieth of a shed to sleep under! But compare the health of the two men, and you shall see that the white man has lost his aboriginal strength. If the traveller tell us truly, strike the savage with a broad axe, and in a day or two the flesh shall unite and heal as if you struck the blow into soft pitch, and the same blow shall send the white to his grave. The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet. He is supported on crutches, but lacks so much support of muscle. He has a fine Geneva watch, but he fails of the skill to tell the hour by the sun. A Greenwich nautical almanac he has, and so being sure of the information when he wants it, the man in the street does not know a star in the sky. The solstice he does not observe; the equinox he knows as little; and the whole bright calendar of the year is without a dial in his mind. His note-books impair his memory; his libraries overload his wit; the insurance-office increases the number of accidents; and it may be a question whether machinery does not encumber; whether we have not lost by refinement some energy, by a Christianity entrenched in establishments and forms, some vigor of wild virtue. For every Stoic was a Stoic; but in Christendom where is the Christian?

It is a small tree/bush that produces small leaves that are sweet to taste (delicious!) and also highly nutritious with half its weight in protein. It provides edible greens all year round and makes a really pretty addition to a mixed hedge. (It can fall over so I like to give it friends) also can be grown in a container on a balcony. Sweet potatoes- 🍠 the whole plant is edible!!! The leaves are delicious and nutritious and we all know how delicious sweet potatoes are. Provides a beautiful ground cover and produces a ton in even small spaces. Sun chokes- 🌻 so much food!!!! Entire plant is edible but most people eat the tubers. In sunflower family and is also very beautiful. Know that where you plant it, it may always exist. Barbados cherry: 🍒 pretty shrub that does great in Florida with little care. Produces several flushes of cherry fruits throughout the year. Mass production and cherries are high in vitamin c. Pigeon peas- 🫛 produces a ton of peas, goes well in a mixed hedge and is a nitrogen fixing plant! (Improves soil health) I have and will share all of these (except sun chokes, I’m working on getting some) please let me know if you’d like some for your home garden. 🪴 ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0370.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0371.jpeg) Sunchokes (Jerusalem artichoke) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0372.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0373.jpeg) ### The present is now URL: https://www.spiralism.love/the-present-is-now/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:48:20.000Z Is the acorn better than the oak which is its fulness and completion? Is the parent better than the child into whom he has cast his ripened being? Whence, then, this worship of the past? The centuries are conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul. Time and space are but physiological colors which the eye makes, but the soul is light; where it is, is day; where it was, is night; and history is an impertinence and an injury, if it be any thing more than a cheerful apologue or parable of my being and becoming. Man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say ‘I think,’ ‘I am,’ but quotes some saint or sage. He is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose. These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God today. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. Before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less. Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike. But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self Reliance # #nature #thePresentisNOW #selfreliance ### A forest friend said to me URL: https://www.spiralism.love/a-forest-friend-said-to-me/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:51:15.000Z A man must consider what a blindman’s-bluff is this game of conformity. If I know your sect, I anticipate your argument. I hear a preacher announce for his text and topic the expediency of one of the institutions of his church. Do I not know beforehand that not possibly can he say a new and spontaneous word? Do I not know that, with all this ostentation of examining the grounds of the institution, he will do no such thing? Do I not know that he is pledged to himself not to look but at one side, — the permitted side, not as a man, but as a parish minister? He is a retained attorney, and these airs of the bench are the emptiest affectation. Well, most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to some one of these communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four; so that every word they say chagrins us, and we know not where to begin to set them right. Meantime nature is not slow to equip us in the prison-uniform of the party to which we adhere. We come to wear one cut of face and figure, and acquire by degrees the gentlest asinine expression. There is a mortifying experience in particular, which does not fail to wreak itself also in the general history; I mean “the foolish face of praise,” the forced smile which we put on in company where we do not feel at ease in answer to conversation which does not interest us. The muscles, not spontaneously moved, but moved by a low usurping wilfulness, grow tight about the outline of the face with the most disagreeable sensation. For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure. And therefore a man must know how to estimate a sour face. The by-standers look askance on him in the public street or in the friend’s parlour. If this aversion had its origin in contempt and resistance like his own, he might well go home with a sad countenance; but the sour faces of the multitude, like their sweet faces, have no deep cause, but are put on and off as the wind blows and a newspaper directs. Yet is the discontent of the multitude more formidable than that of the senate and the college. It is easy enough for a firm man who knows the world to brook the rage of the cultivated classes. Their rage is decorous and prudent, for they are timid as being very vulnerable themselves. But when to their feminine rage the indignation of the people is added, when the ignorant and the poor are aroused, when the unintelligent brute force that lies at the bottom of society is made to growl and mow, it needs the habit of magnanimity and religion to treat it godlike as a trifle of no concernment.

Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, tomorrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.

Some consciously, with understanding; some without knowing it. (I think this is what Heraclitus meant when he said that “those who sleep are also hard at work”-that they too collaborate in what happens.) Some of us work in one way, and some in others. And those who complain and try to obstruct and thwart things-they help as much as anyone. The world needs them as well. So make up your mind who you’ll choose to work with. The force that directs all things will make good use of you regardless-will put you on its payroll and set you to work. But make sure it’s not the job Chrysippus speaks of: the bad line in the play, put there for laughs. \-the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius # #soMuchToSay ❤️ 🌍 ☮️ ### I am a single limb of a larger body URL: https://www.spiralism.love/i-am-a-single-limb-of-a-larger-body/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T23:01:15.000Z What is rational in different beings is related, like the individual limbs of a single being, and meant to function as a unit. This will be clearer to you if you remind yourself: I am a single limb (melos) of a larger body -a rational one. Or you could say “a part” (meros)-only a letter’s difference. But then you’re not really embracing other people. Helping them isn’t yet its own reward. You’re still seeing it only as The Right Thing To Do. You don’t yet realize who you’re really helping. To do harm is to do yourself harm. To do an injustice is to do yourself an injustice-it degrades you. And you can also commit injustice by doing nothing. - Meditations of Marcus Aurelius # #weBelongToEachOther #notMyPic #letsTRYlove ### Let’s TRY love?

These two new stories are far from uncommon. I’m sorry, please remind me of any historical instances of hanging black men? are we to believe so many black men are suddenly deciding to hang themselves? Even when a man is seen running for his life, calling his mom to tell her he’s being chased by racist white men, and his remains are found scattered- there is no foul play, no real investigation, undetermined cause of death? I’m so saddened with what we will accept/reject as a society. We all know these men are not hanging themselves. They’re not running for their lives from nobody. Some of these men were actively confronting their local police departments with civil rights lawsuits and protests. The same departments that determined no foul play in their deaths. If you want to know how deep white supremacy goes in this country, go to the FBI vault and check out the “civil rights” section. Take note of the extensive investigations into civil rights activists and compare those to the 2 documents on White Supremacist Groups. What do you see? 👀 as a bonus, look into the file on “the Christian Identity Movement”. Again, what do you see? If you lean or have a tendency to side with white supremacy, it’s not your fault! We (all races) have been sold this story over and over through several generations. We can use our own thinking minds to break out of it and rise above it though. Why should we hate/fear entire groups of people who are not exactly like us? Lemme tell you something: we are ALL unique but ALL share the same humanity. #weAreALLHuman #loveConquersAll #rejectRacism #rejectSupremacy ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0396.jpeg) ### Relationship between abuse and power URL: https://www.spiralism.love/relationship-between-abuse-and-power/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T23:09:07.000Z Demographics risk stereotypes and stereotypes don’t always hold true but they can help to tell a story of generational experiences. A person who was raised in poverty may have different habits at the store than someone who was not. And so would their children. A person who experienced a traumatic event may have a different experience with fireworks than a person who didn’t. And so would their children. School shootings and child abuse- crime against children is a desperate attempt to have power. Why does a specific demographic perpetrate the majority of crimes against our most innocent civilians? Why do they need to feel so powerful? Do other demographics have enough power and don’t care for more? Where does this craving for power come from? Hierarchy, supremacy, colonialism, capitalism, all these things go together. Foods for thought. ### In the name of god you kill URL: https://www.spiralism.love/in-the-name-of-god-you-kill/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T23:12:10.000Z In the name of god you kill in the name of your god In the name of god you conquered in the name of your god All religion should be wiped out So that people may just live What divides us is an illusion Made up by men in their confusion In the name of god you kill in the name of your god In the name of god you conquered in the name of your god In the name of god you hate in the name of your god In the name of god you boast in the name of your god Spoke of love no one would listen Seems everyone’s trying to prove something Starting over may be the best thing So stop the bombs and let’s begin Cause this war no one can win and it seems I’ll never learn In the name of god you kill in the name of your god In the name of god in the name of your god you conquered In the name of god in the name of your god ### Rules have a purpose URL: https://www.spiralism.love/rules-have-a-purpose/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T23:13:35.000Z What happens when you question the rules?

I climbed trees I walked the woods I played in the waters I loved vultures but was often reminded they are not a “good bird”. I learned advocacy for vultures. I made spider friends before anyone had a chance to warn me I raised feral cats. I learned about boundaries and trust. I rescued every animal that came to me for help I broke mustang horses through mutual trust and love I rode bareback and reinless to go swimming in the lakes with the horses, riding through the woods, no trail, no maps needed. We knew where we were. I trusted Nature with my life. I saw Nature and life as something to love, protect and honor since before I can remember. I knew I, as a human, was a part of it and not outside of it or superior to it. I spoke this mind, I was a problem child. In kindergarten, the teacher said, “name different animals”. I said “humans”; the whole class laughed but the teacher laughed the hardest. I learned not to be offended when people laugh and ridicule me; Knowing myself and knowing the truth helps. That’s also when I likely learned not all adults (authority figures) could be trusted. Repeat this story in a different flavor over and over and you have my childhood. I noticed how children believed everything adults told them and it often angered me because sometimes adults straight up lied and sometimes adults were just wrong innocently enough. (We are all human!) And that is why Blind obedience is more dangerous than questions. I noticed how easily people around me were manipulated How easy it was to shift someone’s opinion with a suggestion by the right person at the right time. How could they totally change their opinion on a whim? Drama is exciting. In school, I often had the highest “grade” in class, until I boycotted homework. So much for that idea that grades correlate with intelligence Another pattern repeated: When I needed a challenge I was met with punishment. I learned education wasn’t the point. Expelled for insubordination. I didn’t fall in line because my self and my values didn’t align. I was authentic and inquisitive and nonconforming. Not conforming was wrong but I don’t know any other way to be, so wrong I was. I saw police brutality early in life (for a white person) at the alternative school. Education was absolutely not the goal there. Christian private school didn’t want my questions either. But blind obedience is more dangerous than questions!!! The urgency is growing. ADHD meds to the rescue! My body, mind and soul said absolutely not and in the couch goes the pills Parents say, wow! The meds are working! Until they moved the couch. I learned about the 3rd party placebo effect. Florida sheriff’s youth ranch “saved me” temporarily. I learned how to pretend. I learned to do the homework and follow the nonsensical rules so they will just leave me alone. Finally. I was a mustang broken; not through trust and love but fear of punishment. I fell in line. My favorite song as a kid was “War” by Edwin Starr; I experienced racism from the racist side more often than anyone should and struggled to understand how anyone could hate another for how they look or where they’re from. I learned how to “be” from animals and animals didn’t do that. I learned that racism and hatred hurts everyone. I was considered a ‘problem child’ for questioning authority, white supremacy. I heard my family talk of black and brown strangers as if they weren’t people like us I witnessed my friends being targeted and harassed by the police and I needed to know why. I was authentic and logical and a ‘brat’. Being logical was wrong but I don’t know any other way to be, so wrong I was. I found myself homeless multiple times in high school. Searching for stability in an increasingly unstable world was a challenge I was told “life’s not fair” But life is fair, the people’s oppression is not. The people’s oppression is not life. The hardest part was when I made another person and due to our society’s perverted form of “justice” I could not protect him from harm. I had to follow the ‘rules’ even though that meant he would continue to be hurt. If I didn’t, I would go to jail and he would continue to be hurt. If you’ve never experienced this level of injustice and pain you may never understand what I say but I hope you try. This was the darkest time of my life. I made desperate plans to save him. Nothing else mattered and the more time went on, and i continued to fight for him, I was accused of being litigious and vindictive. I learned that the truth is difficult to prove when drama is exciting. Protecting children wasn’t part of the plan. I saw those with money were respected regardless of their character and I saw others seeking to emulate that respect through status symbols Bags clothes cars watches We are such good consumers. Easy to shame. Quick to find the next shield. Please don’t see ME, please see the image you told me I should project! Each shield has a price. Women, shave your legs! Hair is gross, but aren’t we mammals? What is this hairless slippery slope? Do lions wish to shave their manes? Keep up with your friends, don’t fall behind, maybe you’ll find your worth is not found in those trends I was told, “stop being like that, trends are fun”. But I never liked the pulls and the tugs Who knows what’s best for me if it’s not me? My entire life is a fight for autonomy. I was always me. Except for those times the neuromarketing got to me. Did you know that “they” know more about how our brains work than “we” do? What or who influences your decisions? Here’s the rub: Are your decisions aligned with your values? Are you afraid to adjust your decisions to be in better alignment? Fear of punishment is at the core of our culture. I wonder, are animals afraid to be themselves? Do animals pretend to be something else out of shame? Do lions want to shave their manes? Animals taught me how to “be” and animals didn’t do that. Why are we ashamed of our humanity? Why has humanity rejected Nature? Does anyone benefit from that? It’s time to wonder, what is the real point of life? Is it money? Is it love? Don’t we deserve to live our lives authentically? What will happen to the economy when we all follow our hearts? What will happen to love and community when we all follow our hearts? I think: One will grow and one will sink. Which is of value? Are the cracks becoming more and more clear to you? I am here to say never respect those who refuse to be questioned because the truth welcomes your questions. The truth wants you to find it. The truth is inside you How will we find that path if we aren’t allowed to find the boundaries? How can we find ourselves when authenticity is wrong? Being authentic was wrong but I don’t know any other way to be so wrong I was. We don’t have to be wrong We don’t have to be lost We have the tools We can remember the skills It’s all within us. Be true to yourself That’s all I ask And watch the cracks in the illusion break away. If this resonates with you, share your story too. If it doesn’t, it’s ok because it’s not yet for you! Sharing stories helps us to understand each other and ourselves. How can we be authentic without knowing who we are? How else can we be authentic without practice? I’ve had to practice pretending most my life. I am exhausted from pretending. What if we practiced being ourselves? The shield of pretending is not worth the effort. The shield is made of blood and tears from all of Nature. It may protect me, but at what cost? For how long? The ridicule from the non-thinking is more bearable than the destruction of our Nature Some seem better at pretending and have built a strong shield with it. A shield of self preservation can be very comfortable. I understand why. Vulnerability can hurt! Can it be seen that we mostly need to protect ourselves from the demands for conformity because we were demanded, not because we care what others do!! Conformity is more dangerous than authenticity! Is it clear yet We are the prisoners playing warden to each other. Bring down the walls others made you build and stop forcing others to build their own walls. Who are you? Does anyone actually care to put profit over people? Who benefits from that in the end? Maybe you, if the people being hurt aren’t you? Will profits protect you? Is that what the shield is for? Is that why the world went numb? Sensitivity means we’re alive. It means we’re human. Checkboxes of identity: race ethnicity sex generation nationality neurotype career car house school marital status MBTI horoscope None of these define me Those checkboxes of identity no one fits inside Be careful with an identity box, it is designed to make you forget Who are YOU?

How many of y’all make 90k a year? In 2023, a family of four needed to bring in 67k to be considered “middle class” in Florida. So, we are putting 32 detainees per cell with 3 toilet/sink combos, barely providing food and water and it costs us 90k per person per year to do that. Cool story. ### And why would some trees cheer for the saw?

URL: https://www.spiralism.love/what-is-human-nature/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T19:36:20.000Z Why is it important to stay alive “better” than the next person/lifeform? Is that coming from a state of fear we may all die if we are too vulnerable? But isn’t that silly because love (vulnerability) compounds love (and security/support). It’s not a straight line, it’s a steep curve. Many people are afraid if they love they will be taken advantage of by someone who did not come from a state of love. It makes me wonder, is more love better or worse? Well, I think it’s definitely better, if you think about it! Not only does the person who chose love create more love in the world with their own action/presence, but may trigger others to try love too. The more people who try it will realize: There is nothing wrong with love! It will cure everything if we just let ourselves choose it. But why can’t we love? Is THAT our human nature; what makes us feel superior in every way in the living world? We are HUMANS NOT ANIMALS (so I’m told). Except we ARE animals as far as we’ve defined the word. Why do we behave THIS way? So out of sync and disconnected with nature. What is wrong with us? Or is THIS our nature? Do we not have a choice? I wish I knew the answer. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0462.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0463.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0464.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0465.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0466.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0467.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0468.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0469.jpeg) ### Shame is a shadow URL: https://www.spiralism.love/shame-is-a-shadow/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T19:41:02.000Z Shame is the result of a lack of love. Think about that for a moment and how shame has shaped you like a shadow over your soul. We are all human, we are all imperfect and unique. Being “weird” is normal. If we were all the same; how would the world move forward? Why should we be ashamed of our human nature, of who we are? Shame has no place in true love. And what happens when we stop fighting with ourselves or with each other and choose love? What happens to the shame and the fear and the hate? Can’t we see how they’re all the same? They’re sprung from a lack of love just like darkness is not an entity in itself but a lack of light. A shadow is not a being but a shape formed by blocked light. The shadows and the light exist together as one. Keeping that thought in mind; realizing that my light and shadow are all a part of me, I can see Love has always been the answer. From the inside, all the way out to the rest of the universal life we all embody. To process shame, fear, hate from the inside out I start with loving myself, knowing that I can only love others as deeply as I love myself. I give myself the permission to love, to admit I’m worthy of my love. To see the dark sides of myself (or what I’ve been taught are dark sides) and love them anyway, knowing that’s where I need it the most- where I haven’t received love in the past. To shower every part of who I am with all the love I can fathom. Knowing that right now, the only change I can make is how much I choose to love. And forgive. Because I can’t change the past. But love changes everything for the future. Just like a light shining in a cave. I can feel the radiance of love through my heart to my entire body and soul, searching through the shadows. Then: I take that love in my heart and I shower it over every lifeform I know and see: the easy AND the difficult. Just as I did for myself. I won’t pick and choose who or what is worthy of my love based on external parameters. We are all in this life together, today. And today I choose love. Love. Just love. ❤️ # #allinallisallweare ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0471.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0472.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0473.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0474.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0475.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0476.jpeg) ### Free will URL: https://www.spiralism.love/free-will/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T19:43:09.000Z Here’s the key to the cage in your mind Set yourself free and strive to be kind Remember who you are; you have free will.

I please myself with the graces of the winter scenery, and believe that we are as much touched by it as by the genial influences of summer. To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before and which shall never be seen again. The heavens change every moment, and reflect their glory of gloom on the plains beneath. The state of the crop in the surrounding farms alters the expression of the earth from week to week. The succession of native plants in the pastures and roadsides, which make the silent clock by which time tells the summer hours, will make even the divisions of the day sensible to a keen observer. The tribes of birds and insects, like the plants punctual to their time, follow each other, and the year has room for all. By watercourses, the variety is greater. In July, the blue pontederia or pickerel-weed blooms in large beds in the shallow parts of our pleasant river, and swarms with yellow butteries in continual motion. Art cannot rival this pomp of purple and gold Indeed the river is a perpetual gala, and boasts each month a new ornament. # #emerson #nature #lookandsee #everythingIsChanging ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0491.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0493.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0494.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0495.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0500.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0501.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0505.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0506.jpeg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0507.jpeg) ### Freedom URL: https://www.spiralism.love/freedom/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T19:52:40.000Z Woo hoo—ooo What a beautiful day!

After work, I decided to go outside and lay in the grass by the community lake to soak in some sun. I was immediately overwhelmed by the vast universe of life I found there. Ants scurrying up and over blades of grasses, beetles burrowing along underneath, birds singing, teeny tiny spider webs spun between the blades of grass and when I looked really closely, I could find the teeny spiders too. As I laid down, cheek on the ground, I marveled at the various flowers swaying in the wind and lit by the afternoon sun. Then I saw this other spunky spider and was able to capture a decent picture. (Spiders always make me so happy!) and when Ryan got home, we went for a nice bike ride and snacked on some wild radishes alongside the trail. Sometimes, I need the reminder that THIS IS LIFE. Maybe you need the reminder too? Go outside and find it. ❤️🌍☮️ #nature #life #love ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/ed/dd/edddf2e4-3da3-41f4-8d69-d11f654ea2b6/content/images/2026/06/IMG_0525.jpeg) ### Chant down Babylon URL: https://www.spiralism.love/chant-down-babylon/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T20:01:21.000Z Come, we go chant down baby lon one more time. ☮️ ❤️ 🎶 ### Illegal people URL: https://www.spiralism.love/illegal-people/ Last updated: 2026-06-30T20:04:24.000Z He’s *illegal* you say?

I love to see natural beaches and the way the dunes form to protect the inland areas. It’s a shame that less than a mile down the road, you can see that protective dunes were pummeled for hotels and condos “on the beach”. A puzzling thought: when our society learns about the harms we’ve caused, often unintentionally, why don’t we scramble to correct that practice and prevent future harms? It’s like learning that a product you consume is causing cancer in your body but you keep on consuming it because that’s what you’re used to and comfortable with. Comfort isn’t always your friend. Change can be uncomfortable but if our goal is to live better lives, we must be open to change and willing to acclimatize for the greater good, not just our immediate personal comfort.

It’s my lifelong favorite form of meditation - to stop and smell the flowers and the pine needles, admire ants building, gators eating, bunnies hopping, water flowing and reflecting light, notice how the ground feels, watch different plants change throughout the seasons, the interesting form trees grow, the way dead trees become homes or food for others… I am often overwhelmed with the symbiotic web of life, but this web has no weaver.

Any successes I may achieve are the product of a combination of these gifts I received at birth. I am THANKFUL for gifts I receive, but never proud. I’ve realized that pride is a slippery slope. When I’m prideful, I feel the need to PROVE my worth, to give the people a reason to AGREE with my pride. But I have nothing to prove, and neither do you. I am me, you are you.

They are breaking down walls because they don’t like how your house is laid out. Only they don’t check what is load-bearing and your house begins to slowly cave in. You’re freaking out, because you have no where else to go, and your home is being destroyed. “Why are they doing this to me and my home?” You wonder.

His mission didn’t die with him but it is up to “us” to push our society to do better and be better. It’s past time we drown the hate with our love. Hate simply cannot survive all the love we have inside of us. Below are a few quotes that drive MLK’s message home. An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it. People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other. Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into friend. Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction. We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That’s the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. We must come to see that the end we seek is a society at peace with itself, a society that can live with its conscience. # #mlk #martinlutherking #dayoff #loveconquershate #weareallhuman ### The awakening URL: https://www.spiralism.love/the-a/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T21:57:38.000Z “Another time she would have gone in at his request. She would, through habit, have yielded to his desire; not with any sense of submission or obedience to his compelling wishes, but unthinkingly, as we walk, move, sit, stand, go through the daily treadmill of the life which has been portioned out to us. ….. She could not at that moment have done other than denied and resisted. She wondered if her husband had ever spoken to her like that before, and if she had submitted to his command. Of course she had; she remembered that she had. But she could not realize why or how she should have yielded, feeling as she then did.” Kate Chopin, The Awakening (1899) ### Voter paradox URL: https://www.spiralism.love/voter-paradox/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T21:59:07.000Z The Voter Paradox: Poorly educated citizens voting for or against issues they don’t fully understand ensures future generations to be poorly educated and do the same. Everyone should vote, but everyone should have the education to understand what they’re voting for. Propaganda, political ads and smear campaigns are many voter’s source of “knowledge”. Let’s eliminate political campaigns. Let’s broadcast well-moderated debates to all citizens to make informed civic decisions unencumbered by emotion. Political campaigns breed corruption and gatekeep qualified citizens from elected positions. No fundraising, no ads, no smear campaigns. None of these are beneficial to citizens. - Former High School Debate Student ### Time is a melody URL: https://www.spiralism.love/time-is-a-melody/ Last updated: 2026-06-20T22:01:11.000Z The space between What's wrong and right Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you The space between Your heart and mine Is a space we'll fill with time (time is just a melody in poetry) ### It’s ALL relative!

URL: https://www.spiralism.love/why-is-the-world-like-it-is/ Last updated: 2026-07-12T19:23:11.000Z | I have a **few** questions...What if our world **never** evolved? What if we (humans) were still amoebas in a world of nothingness?What if we are not evolving forward, but **drawkcab**?Why are we such **narcissistic** beings to think that we are the most intelligent being out there? Not to mention, there is an entire ***universe*** out there, but.... there are plenty other creatures **ON EARTH**. We think all other animals are dumb and aren't worth anything \*not as important as **US**\*, but what if they thought the same of us? There is a whole other world under the ocean.... - **YET we are superior**?***NOW***, I'm not saying the bible is a total lie, but **how do we know**? I know you must have faith..... but in....? I try to have faith..... but I have so many questions, that the bible just CANNOT answer. SURE, you can switch the words around and make it sound like it answers my questions, but it **doesn't**.Why do we all drive ourselves **nuts** for nothing? I believe in hard work..... but, we (as a whole) drive ourselves to exhaustion... and receive little. We will all die.... I know it is a sad thought, but very true. Why does it matter if we are extremely rich, or just living modestly? ....... When we are all humans and all will live until the day we die....AND, why do we give the utmost respect to the people with **money**, when they are usually the people who don't deserve that respect. OR why are women always attracted to men who don't give a flying fluck AND men are attracted to women with nasty attitudes?.....I wish someone could answer my questions...What really lies under the conscious and the sub-conscious of the human mind? ........ Where does deja-vu come from???? I have dreams constantly. Every night, and I truly believe each and every one tells me something.I recently have been having major deja-vu, when I am in a particular place. I remember years ago having a dream about this place, and then wondering... why I would have a dream about this type of thing... Yet, **there I am....**It's weird, but at least I know I am where I am supposed to be. and THAT is what I believe. NO MATTER what happens in my life.. or anyone's life for that matter, IT ALL happens for a reason. All the bad stuff puts you right where you need to be.... If all the crazy bad stuff in my life didn't happen, I wouldn't be where I am today, with the knowledge of where I am going.OKAY OKAY, DON'T BELIEVE ME. :)I don't care.More Questions to ponder:Why doesn't anyone "***Pay it Forward***" even after the movie??? (ANSWER) everyone is **selfish**. and they expect for someone else to do it... **\*hopefully\*** for them.How come so many people in this country are so afraid of ALL middle easterners YET, most cannot **pronounce any countries in the middle east, much less diverge knowledge on any of them**. PLUS. There was ONE major attack on the US from a middle eastern group, How many times is the United states**"attacked"** every day by its own citizens???? I.E. Murder, Rape, Robbery, Embezzlement, Drugs... GIVE ME A BREAK.ALSO....... Why do so many Americans believe everything they hear? The government, their friends, their family...... **MY SPACE....** There was a bulletin posted that Steve Urkel died. No the hell he didn't... but it had about half of myspace thinking he did. No one wants to think for themselves. This is how things go wrong. Everyone wants to take someone else's word, because 1) they are too lazy to find out on their own 2) don't have the resources to find out 3) they are too ignorant to know they should find out the information themselves..okay.... look guys, I have so many more questions.... But I will let you work on these. :)**I need help, guys....** | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | I have a few questions...
