This journal wanders about. It's poetry, reflections, snippets from other stories and ideas of others, and my own pot luck thoughts reflecting the transparent thinking of this post-traumatically stressed, majorly depressed social phobic before and after my breakdown.

re: top three emotions on my mind.

I guess Fear is also on my mind and my body feels paralyzed by it (re: top three emotions on my mind" above). This is not a happy state.

But i digress. My first thoughts were about politics - Canada, USA, Asia, Africa, Europe but strangely not South America. I sit hearing and watching the events that are creating jams and raucous splits in our economy and can't really see them as 'real' (except that my grocery bill is going up every week). I have no stocks, property or money, so what does it matter to me??!

It matters to me because every day that goes by and our focus is on our flailing economy is a day that goes by that doesn't focus on healthcare, education, services for the vulnerable and for community recreation.

Well, Bush (W) says "don't give up on Capitalism", as if we haven't figured out a long time ago that maybe "the idea" needs some tweaking. Come on! Let's get it over it and go full-out Socialist!!! hahahaha - oooooh, scary!!!

Such feeble minds have we, the greater thoughts are left for thee.
(quote, me - remembered or original, i'm not sure)

If the "coalition" (which is what Canadian parliament is considering) can move us out of this stale, unconnected place to a more inspiring and uplifting space other than just - HEY - guess what - you'll be able to buy more stuff (if you have money).

Hmmmmm....this should be interesting, eh what? (quote, my mother)
