Imagination strangled out of everyone touching nursing homes

Imagination has been so strangled out of everyone in or touching nursing homes that the blood flow is restricted all the way to the head.

The nursing home, like war

The nursing home, like war, is a failure of imagination. For surely nursing homes as presently constituted are a war upon life, dignity, worth, and our parents and husbands and wives.

truly spoken by someone home

Politicians in full force scream mode are merely one superego preaching to another superego preaching back. Civil dialogue cannot happen because there is no one home. What can crack those monster edifices is a single word, truly spoken, by someone home.

Thinking is not our limit

It is humanly possible to do more than we think. Consider computers and the Internet: we daily do things that 20, 10 and even 5 years ago we would have never thought to do. So our thinking is not our limit—we can do more than that. Even our dreams are not the limit, for it is dreams bouncing off dreams, ideas off bananas, yesterday’s frustration off a child’s toy—and these are not limits but launching platforms. Do and it will come to us—yes, plural—the more the more opens.

This journaling and reading is world work

This exploring, this looking over the edges, this is important work. This journaling and reading and meditating/contemplating and this poetry writing is world work: world engaging, world expanding.

Discovered: I am not immune to aging

I have discovered I am not immune to the aging process. So I’m probably not immune to the part about dying.

below surface we are thinking perchance becoming conscious

In conversation we are not merely talking; below the surface we are thinking; perchance becoming conscious—knowing together. The question presents itself: How and to what end are we thinking together? To get it done is one answer; to generate the new is quite another.

Providing “care” for our elders

Our way of providing “care” for our elders stems from the culture we have cultivated—rugged individualism has grown up to become everybody rely on no one else, buy everything we need—right down to someone to change our diapers.

Levels/powers of thinking

What levels/powers of thinking have I found so far? T1 Thinking; T2 Reflecting; T3 Thinking together (consciousness begins); T4 Reflecting together; T5 Generating; T6 Thinking with the cosmos, the whole, absolute creativity. This last is a step on the spiral from where I had been before. It is fun to think of this as a spiral, and that helps resolve the powers-levels quandary.
