TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON, A TIME TO BUILD AND A TIME TO DESTROY

 

Notes from the Wilderness

 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which  is planted;

 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

 Eccl 3:1-3, there Comes a time when one has to come to terms with the Reality of what they've built and what other's have built and planted around them, there comes a time when one has to accept the Reality that bad foundations cannot be built upon and succeed, no matter What one does, the house will still crumble.  There comes a time in one's life when they have to face the Truth, the Sin, the Lies and then deal with the reaping...but Does it end there?

No, it does not, many I believe are attempting to save or recycle what is being shaken and Will fall, because they are afraid to admit or see that the foundation was wrong and that the whole thing was nothing but a Fraud to begin with.  It is a grieving to face up to Loss, especially Loss caused by sin and disobedience, including being Deceived.  Rather than face up to the fact that we've been deceived by others and by our own deceitful lusts we tend to focus on the blame of others "Only" and  or we tend to blame God...and we'll do all in our power to fix, repair, recycle, rebuild.  But God won't bless it, no matter what, because it wasn't formed by God in the first place, not in God's will nor by His design.  He allows us to go our own way and make our mistakes, and sometimes He will restore, but there are other times where He allows it all to crumble, and That I believe is when WE have to decide, who do we love and honor more....Him and His teaching us [the hard lessons learned] OR our own pride and sinful stubbornness to hold onto something that really isn't worth holding on to, not only that, but in doing so, we truly are just building our own PRISONS.  

This is true for toxic relationships as well, there is Only so much a person can do, when the other or others simply refuse to choose to take Ownership of their contribution to the failures, then one can Pretend all is well and the house will still fall Or one can simply decide, enough is enough, and tear the damn thing down.  Or burn it down...and start over,

and sometimes, burning it down and starting over, like burning down an overgrown field that without the burning will only cause more damage to forestation and crops, etc., erosion and so forth...is the Only way, to begin afresh and to rebuild, New Life.

It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. Proverbs 21:9,

you know This applies to living in a house with an abusive man as well, or a job with an abusive boss, etc., not just about women, not only that, this scripture taken by misogynists quite often, is really misunderstood like numerous other scriptures.  The corner of a housetop represents Prayer & Peace with God, solace, a small piece of Ownership, which is Contrary to the Rule of the King over Castle doctrine that patriarchy loves to spew.  The corner of the housetop, a.k.a. roof, also represents Humility, that it's better to sit quiet and strive for Peace & acceptance by God rather than to Insist on one's own way, one's own rule over much...it is the Insistence on the rule of the 'wide house' that causes the brawling woman, OR brawling man, or children, or Pestilence, etc.,  in some instances...the foolish woman tears down her own house,

Proverbs 14:1, 
Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

Women can tear down their own house by the insistence of building upon a really rotten foundation.  Jesus said, to those who obey Him and build upon the Rock--that Rock by the way, is  our Hearts, same goes for the 'church', the Rock Jesus spoke of to Peter, on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell won't prevail against it, was Not a rock in physical with a physical 'institutional' church which was a LIE OF MAN TO TAKE AND BUILD 'HIS' OWN CHURCH WITH 'HIS' OWN INTENT OF BEING A 'god' --  but the rock of the human heart....the church being the Body of Christ, within ourselves, if we allow Jesus to come in, HE builds the church, us in the Body, in our hearts, on that Rock and the gates of hell, will Not prevail against it....

see my point is, what man's doctrines and traditions, the carnal mind tends to do either by taking the word literally or by relying on teachings of others is we tend to look at things in the material--when really they are Spiritual.  The Root of our problems lays within our very own hearts, WE can't control what others do nor Life around us...we can Only control our reactions to and/or our building or sowing....now by sowing negative/destructive yes we do altar the course of our lives but all in all Life is controlled by God, and as well as the free will of others.  Life is a force, a force of nature, sow destruction you wind up with Chaos, chaos reaps more chaos, it's a cause and effect, by our actions OR the actions of others and by OUR own REACTIONS TO THEIR ACTIONS, now the Totality of outcome IS under the control of God that HE has already spoken into existence, in other words, do such and such and These things will result, do such and such and Those things will result, so CHOOSE these things, etc.  

I do not believe God micro-manages everything, nor does He always intervene, I believe more and more He allows us to choose, fall, get back up, learn, and grow, of course HE does the work Inside of us, now whether we Choose to Obey that leading, is up to us.  As to what others do, we don't have control over that...and That is when WE have to decide,

WHO CONTROLS US?

I have spent an entire life trying to mold life, my existence to an IDEAL, be it an image ideal from Christianity [which is nothing more than churchianity/mensianity] or by the images of the secular [world]  OR  THE IDEALS AND WANTS OF 'OTHERS' and I've come up short, time and time again, not true to myself nor to God, and as a result the house is on rotten foundation, rather than the Rock, and what results with that is desolation.  Now there are various Reasons and Contributions to this, it can be done through bitterness, not dealing with pain, emulating false ideals, greed, etc etc etc and probably a combination of all these.  I am of the belief now that a Lot of what we do to ourselves and sadly to others [the fruit] is due to our own fears and insecurities...especially the fear of rejection and exile and Especially the FEAR OF LOSS.  

To be 'true' to self and to God [and I am believing the more one is truthful with God the more true to self you become, that mirror image] takes the facing up to fear...and often the fear of being alone.  To walk alone with God takes great courage and faith, we look for affirmation from others which is Why I think we get into the messes we do because those affirmations are those IDEALS, we strive to attain--those fantasies that are just that, fantasies.  

As for loss, for those of us who have had little Life joy and many losses especially at the hands of others, we still have the ability to Control what is Inside of US, rather than Be controlled by the evil deeds and intents of others.  Life Jesus said is not in what one possesses...Solomon who had Everything, wrote in Eccl., that life was futility, that in the end All that matters is serving and obeying God.  Why is that?  Because God is truly the Life, LIFE FORCE, we were Created, by Him, for Him, outside of that there IS no true Life, there can't be, it's like not having the other 'half' of our-self,

we look for that half in marriage, but even then, we do not truly have it because our 'mates' did NOT create us, God did.  The Lord God did...so even In marriage [this is especially true for women] our purpose was always number one, to Serve Him, to find our Self in Him, our Meaning, our Other half, in Him...our Heart & Soul half, is Only in Jesus Christ, our WHOLENESS is only in HIM

but alas we in our blindness build, struggle, stubborn and then we lose...and then grieve, Why God oh Why?  Because the whole meaning, of it all, was to find our other half--Him, our Creator, our Mirror Image, Mirror...our LIFE.  So, there is a Season, a time to build, and then, a time to destroy,

and to start over, but this time...letting HIM, build, as He so chooses and then we find real Freedom and real LIFE.  So I am now tearing down, years of what I built, in foolish utility, in foolish idealism, and you know something,

after the grieving is over, it begins to Feel pretty damn good, to have nothing, but only the Wind at my back, my Lover Jesus in front and inside of the WHOLE ME, leading the way...where we go from here I do not know, but this I do know,

this is Real LIFE and it feels good, to be truly, ALIVE!

Peace,

PHOTO LINK FROM http://froggy300.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/good-reads/, it was one of the few warrior-with arrow and fire photos I liked and She has oh my gosh Clothes on, no ridiculous ass & crotch bearing and steel bra over cantaloupe breasts, lol...which no women in her right mind would go to do battle with...the one BIG 'gripe' that I have with fantasy or depictions of female warriors, the whole male fantasy porn fuck dream warrior, or the other pole, in some of the Christian depictions, she's either looks like a man with such heavy armor that she can't Move or she looks like she should be baking cookies rather than bearing a sword.  This photo isn't realistic either with the whole dress on top of the rock, I mean cuzz like Yea we KNOW women climb mountain tops with long ass gowns [I live near mountains] or like Croft in the Lora Croft depictions, yea cuzz she's always half ass naked ya know cuzz those rocks feel So good scraping skin, Bwaaaa...ah but the Joys of using images/artwork from the fantasies of other minds, gets the point across maybe but Not so sure about REALISM.  But oh well crapola, I am no artist so I have to go with what's out there, in web land, one of the reasons I did go a lot with the Final Fantasy depictions because at Least the women/girl characters are half ass covered, the sad thing is, is finding  out how many Women artists are responsible for many of the ridiculous warrior depictions, it isn't just male artists, now That one, I simply do not have an explanation for, I suppose the belief is, that if a female warrior can arouse a man he'll be too stupid and women will have the advantage, that inner misogyny & fear of rejection based on patriarchal sexuality constructs Still going strong--which is in Reality, very Sad indeed, particularly since these constructs are very strong in their influence on young women today...so any Women artists out there, we Need Realistic female warrior depictions...can we at Least drop the T & A shots, Plaleese!   Unless those T & A can shoot out bullets, I really see no reason why they always have to be huge, bare and strapped with metal thongs, barbs and prongs, like Good Grief.  [end of rant]

WATER, PART II, What's With the Whole Concur with the Patri Bashing they love you but Mention Class or Race, OUTSIDE THE CAMP YA GO?

Notes from OUTSIDE the CAMP and IN DE WILDERNESS!  See Also, WATER, 

http://homesewersneedleworkersunion-hsnwu.blogspot.com/2010/09/god-heavenly-mother-and-notes-from.html

So what's with this always being tossed OUTSIDE THE CAMP when one mentions CLASS OR RACE, but everything is fine if one is ONLY pointing out to the evils of PATRICENTER OR PATRIARCHY?????

and Jesus what's with this also being tossed OUTSIDE the CAMP if one ventures off into a different use of language, metaphors, Symbolism's, abstracts, poetry, music,  that may be Yes similar to other beliefs but still are NOT the same?  What gives with this fascist 'group think' control?

Is it so much being OUTSIDE the CAMP or is it, just being or choosing to not follow the 'crowd' but instead follow your own Heart?  That isn't an easy question nor does it give easy answers...the claims of WEED tend to come through like a bombardment of missiles making it extremely difficult to hear what the Spirit is saying, Unless,

one gets heavily into the Word and then there is Peace...but in THIS SOCIETY, to try and swim against the grain, or GRAINS is like a salmon swimming upstream with porcupine barbs being constantly thrown at her.

But God works in mysterious ways and Yesterday, HE pulled me over to a site of one whom is Also in the Wilderness, literally, and who follows her own path, what is amazing about her is that she doesn't proclaim Christianity or any dogma--but she LIVES THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE BIBLE.  And yesterday, on her blog, she posted a quote,

http://www.livehonestly.com/11/post/2010/09/the-courage-to-follow-your-heart-steve-jobs-quote.html

NOW to me, the Weed is not the one who follows their own heart, but rather, those that in Groups suck up the life/WATER out of the plants that give LIFE.

But in OUR world, those individuals who give LIFE and who do not follow the crowd, group think, status qua are the ones labeled 'weeds', or 'thorns', but now,

what ARE thorns?  Thorns are those porcupine barbs that when they hit they HURT, and they are used that way, as weapons.  But now are All thorns bad in themselves?

I wouldn't think so, Roses have 'thorns', thorns to protect her from being plucked before her time--as it's the Creator that has the right to open her up, not anyone or anything by force, but Only by HIS love alone, HIS care, HIS water, HIS sun, etc.

So there are good uses for thorns as well as not so good, well not so good in that they are often not of the positive uses BUT they can be used, as a form of teaching, they also, fill up Barren Lands,

yesterday I was sitting outside and I noticed, where the weeds were the most thickest, is where the land was barren.  It's not the 'weeds' that are the culprit to pain and robbing of Water but the Barren land that produces the Weeds, in other words, it's the lack of Water that produces the THORNS AND WEEDS.  WATER gives LIFE,

thorns do not, though thorns can produce the conditions that will make one SEEK WATER!

So anyhooo, right now I am pondering on Several things, the difference between being a Weed/Thorns, the use of Thorns in our life or use of Weeds, the Barren Lands/Heart and the Need for WATER.

One thing that Did come to me, was something Jesus said to Peter, after Jesus resurrected and that was that 'on this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it', 

and I thought on that and Then it came to me, the belief has Always been that Jesus was talking here about an actual physical 'church' or 'church building' or 'group of people', but NO,

Jesus was talking about the Rock--the HEART, THE HARD HEART THAT HAS NO WATER...NO ROOT, and Jesus, will ON That rock, will build HIS church, HIS body, HIS Kingdom, 

the Kingdom is in OUR HEARTS...

remember, the four plantings of Seeds, one in the Hard heart where the enemy takes it away then the other where there is no root, the hard heart/but a bit soft but NOT soft enough for roots to take place or the seed not planted deep enough and then the heart that has other things choking the water out preventing the seed to grow [weeds, clutter, things in life, etc], and Then the good and Honest Heart--that has Roots, that has Water, that is Tended, weeds pulled and that Keeps the Word and then in Time, in Season, bears Fruit.

In that process of developing Roots however, Weeds do come, they can suck up water but they can Also fill up barren land that prevents erosion and help to preserve some water, they can also keep away certain pests that can do harm to plants, and so forth...in Nature things can work in various ways--it's the same way with God too.

So what does this have to do with being OUTSIDE the camp?  Well I thought of this, why is it that when I refer to Class or Race, that I get the silence and the shunning?  I prayed and I got some answers...I know at One place God was working healing among many and I brought up the class issue [poverty] and it was not well taken, at That time I was a thorny bush--so I asked Jesus about this and He said, Judas...remember, Judas was So angry about being poor/poverty/oppression that HE could not see the Love and the Longterm...

you see we are like in this huge Garden, we don't all grow at the same rate or time nor are we all the same kind of 'plant', and God knows what plant needs this, what plant needs that, and so if a bed of carnations doesn't understand that this poor rose is impoverished, that Doesn't mean the Caretaker of the Garden doesn't know this...it's just that HE will get to that in HIS season/time,

so on that one, I got answer to, but then what about those that are just flat indifferent, that just don't care, or who don't see beyond their own 'moral superiority' and so forth?  What about them?

Well, those are possible Weeds, thorns, they are always lashing out at those near by them, or those that they are targeting...robbing Water.  We all can rob water, plants Can become yes, very much like Weeds...

but Weeds you see, the weed groups, Survive by sucking up nutrients and water From plants, on barren ground.  Weeds also preserve water and why they do flourish in barren land.  Where as plants do not...without Rain plants will not flourish in barren land Unless they are low water plants.  So, weeds thrive on Barrenness,

that is why Weeds will flock to those things that are already BARREN, they flourish there and when the wind carries them off, those thorn bushes, they spin and tangle and dance across the road and whip and when they hit, they Hurt,

and then they drop their seeds onto other beds.

They like chaff do not Hold water once they are off the land and blowing in the wind...but they love to be flown here and there, tossing in the wind.  Of course I'm referring here to numerous types of weeds, not all weeds are the same and in fact many Herbs are also called 'weeds' but they are actual Healing Herbs.

So I asked Jesus, well how do I NOT be a weed/thorn bush, and how do I not be a dry, waterless chaff?  I sat outside another day and picked up a dry, brittle cane left over from one of the garden plants and I noticed it was hollow inside, brittle and dry, only good for the fire/kindling.

later that night, when sitting under the stars I asked Jesus well how does one stay Green, or how do you Know if you have Water?  And then HE pointed it out to me...the Indians, their belief is that you leave little imprint on this world and you walk softly, etc.  So the Wind blew, I was laying near the curb under the stars and I could hear this leaf...Fall is soon coming and so I could hear this leaf, dry, crackling on the ground.  And so I picked it up, like the chaff part of the plant it was dry, brittle, Disconnected from the tree....and then Jesus said,

"see that lilac plant, take a leaf off of it and throw it on the ground" so I did...it made no sound...

That is what it means, by the Green....life makes no or little sound, imprint, Life as in WATER LIFE, it produces Green, Fruit,

it does not scream, it is not loud, it does not flaunt itself with fancy clothes or wealth or material goods, it does not flaunt it's theological brilliance or scholarly for that fact...it's just green, soft and quiet.  But it gives life...attached to the Vine, Tree, Roots it gives LIFE.  It has WATER.

so being OUTSIDE the camp, is not always as it appears, it doesn't mean outside of Life, away from Water,

it could very well mean, being AWAY FROM THE 'WEEDS' THAT CHOKE OUT THE WATER...

being outside the camp is being in Silence, before God, listening to Him, learning from Him...drinking His water,

in the Wilderness....learning His ways, His statutes, His laws, His LOVE, His CARE,

it is going Against the Grain, Swimming upstream rather than down and yes it is often, going it Alone.  Outside of the Camp...so to speak, isn't necessary outside of God's camp--the church, the Heart, the Rock...on this Rock I will build my church and the GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT....

because on that Rock, that heart that God is working in, that Soul Garden, He is watering, tending, weeding out...all those things, that prevent Roots from growing, that choke out the water and putting those seeds deep in darkness, even Using darkness of night, the insects, to aerate the soil and to add vital nutrients...but God the Gardener knows what HE is doing...

and I begin to see that it's not the other plants that care or tend for me, but the Gardener that I rely on, for it is HE that waters, that tends, that pulls off the bugs that eat at my skin leaves and that HE nurtures me and teaches me...

and sometimes HE even allows a weed or two to keep out other pests, to train me to reserve water, or to fill up what use to be barren...

just so many things...and then I see, that HE also, nurtures the impoverished, that HE sees the poverty, the racism, the class differences, the apathy, the indifference and the hypocrisy.  And the reason HE puts us outside the camp so to speak, is to teach us, to mold us, into HIS LIKENESS, not the worlds and not the weed groups...so that one day, WE will bear FRUIT,

not by our words, but by OUR DEEDS....

like my friend over Living Honestly who for years has done many wonderful works, who to me I see Jesus in Her...and like that soft green leaf, she doesn't leave a loud imprint nor waves a loud banner speaker, but she is Green, and she is producing LIFE....

outside the camp, a soft leaf, connected to the vine, she is producing LIFE, Jesus through her is producing LIFE...

and so, the lessons continue.....  to follow my heart, to listen to the Spirit, to trust Him enough to be outside the camp, to be shunned at times, to be not included, it's ok, it's His Garden, after all...

one of the main things about His putting us in the OUTSIDE of the CAMP, is that HE wants to deal with us [me] over our hypocrisy, our violating love with our violating Him...to Live Honestly...to be a Soft Green,

requires this...if one is not willing to go occasionally to the Outside of the Camp, then maybe the question is, whether or not they are following God, or following others?  Only each of us can answer that one,

this video--one song I like to sing to Myself--to Remind me, to not Fake It...better to be Green, better to be Molded, better to be Outside with God, under His discipline, even His occasional use of those thorns...

than to lose your soul along the way...

Yes Jesus, keep me Outside the camp for as long as it takes, work in me so I won't be just another

fucking hypocrite.

:)

Love,

Jane

More Changes and Updates to the Blog here

 

http://jodieotte.com/?m=200812 

I still have to Re-Put the blog links to the side bar, lost them in translation, LOL, in this new template, and some other goodies,  UPDATE:  OK well I got half of the blogs back up on the side bar, with a few ones from my other blog that I rarely write on anymore...just not enough time and I had started that one back in my more revolutionary/angry days...it's just a pain in ass to try and weed through, update, edit...a lot has Changed since then and so, the link to here is on that one--it mostly was a blog covering issues in Islam/Women and the betrayals of the far left--that and I got tired of the spam from either the far right or the women haters...just better to leave it.  So, whew, I have lost some links I think--on the seeing through eyes of embroidery, I will try to get those Back up this week--and I am leaving this post on top for a while--need to break a bit, and get the research together to pick back up on the landfill series and homeless in America--rise of women including women veterans that I had said, a while back I Would do.  Peace, Jane

For any New Readers here, Yes, this blog is NOT your typical Christian blog, it Is dark, often is, I am very honest about my anger, rage, struggle with, what God shows me, including God's correction when I am wrong [and I have been wrong...in many things but not on issues, just more how I relay them, I am not a 'goodie' girl, and so well, yea, you're going to see a lot of Grit here].  It's NOT religion and I HATE RELIGION, more and more...

religion meaning dogma, structures, rules [man's rules] and fascist conformity, I hate it in politics too, been there, done that...I spit that garbage of death out to so many and ate it myself till I was rotten to the Core--toxic, my gosh I was TOXIC

but you Won't find sugary sweet syrup here either, and wanna know something, God don't work in sugary sweet either, it's FAKE...fake fake fake

and People aren't stupid, they See through it.  Besides, I Suck at being sugary syrupy sweet--not that I can't be sweet [Jesus is working there] but it's a free type of light sweet, not this heavily plastered kind, honey is good, too much though, can make you sick,

honey can even cause Botulism.  Hmmmmmm

Okie Dokie then...

ok well One lesson I have learned in praying to God on these past few days, about misunderstandings and my rage at Indifference and Apathy esp by privilege and religious and all that--

Love is Patient.

What does that mean?  Really, love is Tolerant?  NO, no, but I tend to be of the more, er, frustrated I want Change NOW nature...forgetting that I didn't come to this place Overnight and oh, so forgetting, I didn't come here in my self to Begin with--it was God who brought me to this place, not my own goodness or uh, so brilliant Knowledge, that Knowledge for years, reading books I hid behind because you see that was my escape but it was also that Wall I would put up, I'm smart and you're not so I might be demonized and ugly and not liked and not belonging but I have this...my Weapon,

oh yea, I admit it...I've done it.  Guilty!  Yep, Guilty.

Because I felt awkward and rejection was the demon I so wanted to avoid but I knew I couldn't it was my life so if I only just didn't CARE anymore and so academia and brilliance and knowledge would be My ticket to Freedom--only thing was though,

it couldn't erase, what I was or where I came from...that class was always there, that world was always there and the misogyny was always there, even in academia, why Hannah Ardent was Genius I tell ya, but oh NO, that wasn't Good enough,

the patriarchy [in far left too] just wasn't going to be Happy until they Sexualized her...her letters to Hiedigger and their intimate relationship had to be published and devoured and put on display why She had Sex, just like all women and why that is once more, a woman's place in this world, see, the smart too--it all boils down to She has Sex!.

I wanted to say this in another way but I"m working on that cleaning up language to NOT BE an offense to someone who may be bothered by that language but it IS how the world does do women--if you know what I mean...

and we women play into it too, rejection, that EXILE is so strong and IT HURTS

oh it hurts like hell don't it?

But you know Mao said [I still learn from the polemic, you don't have to swallow the whole loaf but there is sometimes some good elements, maybe nuts or fruit in that loaf] and well, one good fruit he had in his loaf was that Revolution ain't no tea party...

well, that has a bad side to it and a good side...Freedom isn't always nice, you know, truth isn't always puritan and well, pure...truth isn't always sweet--but truth Doesn't rejoice in Iniquity either, see there is that balance

that ying and yang, that what the Chinese say, On the Other Hand...

link:  http://fractalyze.blogspot.com/2008/08/ying-yang-arachne.html

the coin with two sides, two faces...Negatives and Positives, even within our cells

there is no life on this planet without Decay--Decay brings life...

the tree and the evergreen that stays green all winter but the trees shed their leaves

the evergreen does not.

Anyhoo, so God is telling me, this frustration, this indignation, this Impatience. don't matter if or why some are the way they are...Love is patient...not all have Read all the books I have, not many women Read war and politics,

so is it Fair then, for me to slam them?  NO, not really, are they free from all culpability?  NO, not really, we Choose what we WANT to see, we Choose to hide if we want--Privilege, I've done it,

we all have.

But like Ardent said Misery drives the Revolution...there comes a point where misery, cares not for patience or understanding and the women drove at the Battalion [French Revolution] the starving mothers...

the Robespierre s will Always be there--waiting, waiting to be THE ABSOLUTE, the male 'gods', many women support the Robespierre s, many women support the Danton's

many women, simply choose to close their eyes and live in the Castle with the feasts while dancing around the blood of the poor and oppressed

for whatever reason

 Judas, thought about this a lot too, Judas, he was Furious, at that woman who poured the expensive perfume, why That money could have been used for the POOR, they said, Judas said...Furious he was, why the Roman Empire and the brutality and the beatings and women raped and children enslaved to the temples and the blood thirst sport Why Jesus are you NOT DOING SOMETHING, why, why, why?

What you mean Render to Caesar what is Caesars, why I'll show you...Love, what you mean Love, why Love will get us All killed...later as time passes Judas betrayed Jesus, for money or revolution I don't know, we can only speculate I suppose,

Religion says the point is to Bow to the authorities and embrace the Systems of Evil...that hierarchy why Jesus said so, remember, love thy enemies and do not revolt and the poor will always be and why hey hey we're not to rally for change....no way, why drink the Opiate my friend...

but is That what Jesus really meant?

OR, or could it have been that Jesus KNEW, that any revolt would bring about a Worse Terrorism, the Power of Rome went far beyond the borders of Jerusalem, even IF they revolted why Rome could have gathered her armies and smashed every single Jew and Christian and there would not have been Any evolution, and actually, later, years later After the death of Christ, that IS what happened,

Reactionary Politics Works like that, Reactionary Politics is about FREE ME NOW...FREE ME NOW, it sees through PAIN, it does NOT see through the bigger picture, it does NOT see what lays Behind the 'god's of Empire, or how Extensive the matrix of oppression is,

it only sees the surface of where they sit.

On the Other hand...did Jesus mean we were to Embrace and ASSIMILATE?  NO, render to God what is God's...obey as Unto the Lord,

meaning, like Paul in imprison used wisdom, to say I am Roman Citizen [in Acts], he didn't just bow his head and take the beatings and go, ok well I"m a piss toilet for Christ I love you go ahead and beat me some more...

they Rebuked evil---John the Baptist didn't get killed for eating locust and honey and singing Kumbayah, oh no, He got killed for saying Herod what you are doing IS EVIL

and off his head it went...

that fine line--question is, how to walk in wisdom Without, sitting on the Fence.  Patience, knowledge comes power, empowerment...but what Kind of knowledge?  Well, I am learning this,

revelation, comes in bits, not all at once--Love is Patient...kind, does not barge its way or forces it's way, Love sees inside, where, we don't,

I don't have that capability, so maybe this is where Prayer comes in, relying on the Spirit, on Power, not on words of brilliance and wisdom...and maybe, knowing that sometimes, many just aren't ready to hear or don't Want to hear...but Jesus, spoke in Parables,

not in lengthy thesis and anti-thesis and well--

ok well I'm getting it.

to those who have ears, let them hear...this is Not about elitism or pious better than thou...it's about, the Spirit knowing the Whole picture and where People are at and well, Trusting Him...

but misery drives the Revolution, not so easy to Trust when one is sitting in THAT place.  But maybe, God uses Those, who don't 'hear' to revolt,

life and decay...

oh to See, to Understand...that balance,

the Evergreen, the Elm that has lost her leaves in the dead of winter...winter that is life/water,

for the Birth, in Spring.

There are some blogs I so need to get back up here, the Walk in the Woods, I should get that one up today on the bar.

I also learned, that there are times, one just walks away too, shake the dust off your sandal Jesus said, there is a Season, a Time, for everything,

maybe, the key is, wisdom, is knowing when to speak, when to shut up.  That Season,

in the Spirit.

When women have been told to remain silent, to shut up, ALL THE TIME and when she finds the room to Speak--she wants to Scream it from the mountain top, oh yes she does, like a Bird that has been cooped up in a cage for years and her voice slowly dying, no singing, one day that cage door is opened and she takes off and flies onto the highest branch and she hears the Free Birds singing and she opens her beak but no sound comes out,

then one day, it does and it's Loud and it's Fierce and oh, she Sings and Sings and Sings and like a river it is like a Dam that bursts and then the other birds are like, OK now we hear you..

.but some birds you see they've been plopped on their little branches for Years who don't know cage bars and they don't Care to know, that other birds are in them...


and so they look at this Crazy bird with her Screeching Singing loud as a Raven, why she Loves the Raven with her wide wingspan and her Cry of Laughter over the birds who seek seed when she knows,

they may well be her next meal...

the Hawk too...Seasons, and that bird plopped on her branch of privilege and security looks at this screeching bird with Contempt and says, huh, what does this little creature mean coming in here and Stirring up the choral nest here...off you go now you crazy little ugly plucked bird, we don't want to hear about your cage and other cages, take your crazy cage stories to the Ravens...and btw clean yourself up some, your wings look Horrid.

Ah the little bird steams, oh she steams, she screams at the singing canary like birds and says You'll see and off she goes, to find the Raven but the Raven has long gone...

and so the little bird sits alone, voice begins to quiet down and then the old cage bars though not there in steel are there in heart--and she feels the door begin to close and she bows her head...there's a few feathers growing back she could pluck 

and then this voice, this Wind blows, and says what's wrong little singing bird, I freed you, what is wrong?

And she says I sing but I don't know how or where, it seems no one wants to hear me sing and the wind speaks around her, there is a Season, my dear little bird, you've come into yours but with everything in Seasons there is a time and place...not all bloom at the same time, or feed the same way but I love them all--as I love you, sing to me little one...one day they will not sing and either they will be gone or they will be in need of the Ravens to sing through the dark and you, little bird, other birds like you, will sing through the dark,

you do not know, how many of those other birds may need to hear your screech then that by that time will have been trained with wisdom and it will be the song that lifts them up out of the cage doors that will clamp down once again or the darkness that settles over all living things,

the winter.

You do not know what is in store...or where it all comes from but I do little bird, so sing to me...and fly with the wind and hear...hear what the winds have to say...

and that screech, will become a song in the night.

There is a Season...a Time, Love is Patient...

the wind speaks,

and I hear,

Love,
