Free Speech

2 Nov, 2005

I find myself unable to speak at times when in social circles (mainstream and alternative) Although I have been working hard at re-coding my DNA in order for me to just BE. 27 years in this lifetime of programming by mainstream society, plus the many generations in my lineage have held me back too long.

I am a flower that has survived the winter and the sun is now shining on me. The temperature is warming up and my petals are opening. My roots are soaking up the moisture and delicious ingredients in the soil. I am beginning to produce nectar and I can see the lovely bee’s and other beautiful creatures beginning their journey my way to harvest this sweet nectar. This will provide food and shelter for their family. I am estatic to be part of this cycle and provide for others.

I thank the BEE-ings in my life who are like the soil, water, nutrients, wind, sun, bee’s and all the beautiful creatures of this cycle. Without them I would be dried fiber, dust….

I love the connections and the new life that springs from them!!!!

==============================================

This still rings true for me, 3 years later. But I have had growth in that area some. Although I don’t seem to find myself circulating in many circles these days. I think that is due to working alot and stuck in old familiar patterns that I am working on shifting.

What is it with communication anyway? I mean the fact that we as humans can get thru the days without mutilating someone actually seems like a big deal. There are so many variables with this modality. YOu have words, the tone, the body language, the psychic impressions, emotional attachment to all of the above, mental comprehension, presence in listening, and the list could go on.

You know I have been listening to Pandora for a bit now. It’s basically part of the Music Genome Project. I think that we should communicate thru music/sound and take the technology that Pandora uses and apply it somehow to our emotional and mental state and what we feel will translate thru tracks. There could be all sorts of clothing accessories that house very small, lightweight but effective speakers. You wear a very lightweight, comfortable, breathable yet non-synthetic undershirt with sensors and a small transmitter. You plug an MP3 player into the shirt and boom-bap you got language baby….

I saw a guy today on The Hill at a bike messenger rally, with a front and back speaker/amp attached to a pack he wore. He was totally retro with a huge gold watch hanging off his bike and blasting old skool hip hop…
