Let’s Not Polish Their Stories

Hoima, Uganda (circa 2008). Time has come, uh? The Industrialized world of wealthy individuals gotta share a slice of the cake with its brothers and sisters from the less industrialized world of wiser civilizations. But in these days times are a-changing. Actually, the industrialized world is going to be poor because of the unhuman way-of-life it proposes…probably this is our chance to get rid of materialism and turn towards a self-discovery of the spiritual side of our lives…indeed, the US-turned-globalfinancial-meltdown-turning-into-recession is an opportunity…a chance to change. It is a chance to get rid of a predatory & destructive way-of-life in order to embrace well-balanced patterns of development. This is a huge opportunity: questioning the status quo, seizing the unknown…in other words,

CHANGE! Canton, Ohio (circa 2008) "In one week, we can choose an economy that rewards work and creates new jobs and fuels prosperity from the bottom-up. In one week, we can choose to invest in health care for our families, and education for our kids, and renewable energy for our future. In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history."

Barack Obama

What you see is a Japanese calligraphy I drew, converted into ASCII art. What’s that? 1)The Art of Japanese Calligraphy, called 書 道 (Shodou), is an ancient discipline of connection with the Universe. When I was in Japan, I literally fell in love with It. 2) See @11 th0se $tr@nge ch@r@cter$? That’s ASCII art. It is my vehicle for encrypting the lo-tech content of Supra-Mental 書道 into the hi-tech code of 21st century geek culture. Having said that, couple words about the meaning of this Calligraphy + few directions to trigger your creative Intellect: Kanken. Gate. Passage. Transformation. So it seems we all gotta pass through a Gate, sooner or later in our lil’ lives. Leaving outside our greedy egoism, our fears of the future, our shacking mental (un)certainties. We all pass through a Gate of Transformation in our lives, to open-up Our Hearts and Radiate a New Life of Truth, RightAction,Peace, Love & Non-violence. Are you ready to pass your Personal Gate? This turbulent world is offering us several chances to change. Today, try to see things from other perspectives. Today and everyday do something in a different way: e.g. Just use your other hand to text your sms/move your mouse/wash your teeth /…/…/… Change Your Habits a lil’ bit everyday. That’s the Beginning of Self-Healing. Do not procrastinate. Start to Change Now.

“In every bit of honest writing in the world there is a base theme. Try to understand men, if you understand each other you will be kind to each other. Knowing a man well never leads to hate and nearly always leads to love. There are shorter means, many of them. There is writing promoting social change, writing punishing injustice, writing in celebration of heroism, but always that base theme. Try to understand each other.” John Steinbeck

'My children, there is a God, who hears and sees you.' 'A God, Mau-mau! Where does he live?' asked the children. 'He lives in the sky,' she replied; 'and when you are beaten, or cruelly treated, or fall into any trouble, you must ask help of him, and he will always hear and help you.' (..)Then again, she would point them to the stars, and say, in her peculiar language, 'Those are the same stars, and that is the same moon, that look down upon your brothers and sisters, and which they see as they look up to them, though they are ever so far away from us, and each other.'

for future generations

Fear. Fear, has been the undoing of the African. Fear has made an African feel inferior in the face of the other and this has led him to abandon all the good he had and adapt the other thinking that it is superior to his and this has been a

great mistake. I think it is high time that the African wake up from his slumber and face the reality. It is time to revive his

traditions,

to accept himself as he is. The African should learn to do more and expect less because he is fully endowed.

Hello Africano wake up, stand up, look around and see the Beauty, the Wealth, the Wisdom, the Possibilities that surrounds You. No one else will do anything good for you if you don’t do it Your-Self.

Hello Africano gone are the days when they used to tell you

now it’s time for you to look inside Your-Self and determine what’s good for You and be convinced of it, then, you have the courage to actualize it. this and that,

It is “better to light one candle than complain of the darkness”

try walking in our shoes.

The Universe is a Cosmic Dance of Light.

Just Share.

SHARING. What a Joy there is in Sharing! By sharing you don’t loose anything, instead, you stand to gain more. Sharing has no boundaries we can share with everyone irrespective of colour, tribe, nation, background, socioeconomic status and so forth. No one is so poor that he has nothing to share and no one is so rich that he cannot gain anything from sharing. Just Share What You Have – and Smile, a kind Word, your time, your joy, your problems, your history, your present and your future. JUST SHARE. This photo was taken in Uganda. What does it tell you? Can you imagine the joy of these women? Even in the chaos of life there is something to share and be happy about.

this is NOT My Temple.

This is not My God. God.

Wear

your favourite sunglasses and tell me what you thinking…

Back in the 80s, Hollywood director John Carpenter in the movie “They Live”, leveraged the power of sci-fiction & horror movies to tackle with US socio economics issues triggered by the (in)famous Reaganomics package:rich get richer and poor get poorer! The main character of the movie, an ordinary guy named John Nada (i.e. John Nothing: a no-one), discovers a pair of special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to perceive the world as it really is: a black & white world where alien beings dominate & manipulate humans through subliminal messages such as "OBEY", "CONFORM", "MARRY AND REPRODUCE", "CONSUME", "WATCH TELEVISION" and "SLEEP". In other words, “They Live, You Sleep.” Got the idea? Reality Check: probably Carpenter wanted to warn us of the dangers related to a global world where…every given day, corporate governments and media moguls are bombing “We, the people” with mesmerizing “weapons of mass distraction”…Sounds familiar? Wear your favourite sunglasses and, please, tell me what you see… Page 14 & 15 were inspired by Carpenter’s movie. Few links on the subject, here: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lwlx3GnLGs http://www.theofficialjohncarpenter.com/pages/themovies/tl/tlpronotes.html http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096256/

What is your favourite shape of recession? “My view is closer to a U-shaped recession as I expect that the economic contraction will last at least 12 months and possibly as long as 18 months through the middle of 2009.”
