A respected, Muslim, FB friend: "Why do you always mention the un friending thingy???" My reply: "I mention the unfriending thingy as a duty as I make the choice to speak the Truth unvarnished as I do. I cannot do one without the other. I cannot build a fire in the fireplace if I do not make sure that the exits are clearly marked and clearly known." She further commented: "You have to understand how other cultures live their lives." My reply: "I 'want' to know how other cultures live their lives, but as a mortal, I'll never do more than scratch the surface on this. For the last hour I've been studying Islam. But, the Creator has no culture - not eastern or western, not north or south, not christian or muslim... and it is the Creator I am concerned with above all, and that portion of the Creator within us... that knows none of our foolish human boundaries." Finally she said: "If you see we must not be connected then unfriend me" My reply: "And if, to protect you, or out of some other consideration I judge I should unfriend you, I will not hesitate to do so."

***** (2012 article): Every year, somewhere between US$200 billion and $1 trillion are spent in “mandatory” alms and voluntary charity across the Muslim world, Islamic financial analysts estimate. At the low end of the estimate, this is 15 times more than global humanitarian aid contributions* in 2011.
nd. I've been following a 'feeling' for most of my life, but yesterday I 'saw' what I had been feeling. It was a piece by Amy Goodman, the first ever interview, of the young, blond, pretty, lawyer who blew the whistle on a major NYC bank resulting in a $9b settlement. You should find, and watch, the segment. I don't recall her words, but when asked why she risked all (can you imagine taking on one of these consummately evil monsters? The Courage? A smart, educated, pretty... young woman in NYC???? I don't know if I can)... it was obvious from her words, humble, simple, self-effacing... THAT SHE IS OF, BY, AND FOR... A DIFFERENT WORLD, A DIFFERENT REALM, THE REALM OF GOODNESS, JUSTICE, LOVING. I am NOT saying that SHE sees this, but to me, for the first time every, I think, I could SEE that this is what is going on. It is the same for me, has been for many many years... trying to be born my entire life... but only watching this segment was it so 'clear' I could 'see' it. Alayne Fleischman is her name, this Angel. JPMorgan Chase is the MONSTER she stood up to. http://www.democracynow.org/2015/1/1/matt_taibbi_and_the_9_billion

nd. FB post to a Muslim sister for whom I have considerable respect, and from whose posts I profit: "I NEVER do anything to be 'disrespectful,' including making comments or posts that maybe directly conflict with the views of others. And I only bother commenting on the posts of the very few other people for whom I have considerable respect, such as you; or to whom I feel an obligation to comment. I believe we are at a point in history where our 'polite' shaving of the Truths as we see them, is doom. When I lose 'friends' as a consequence of speaking the Truth unvarnished as I understand it, at all costs (lost a 'friend' yesterday over this) I feel deep sadness and loss, but my respect and Love for the other person is never reduced. And I am relieved when those who find it too painful to travel near me, drop off, and so protect themselves."

nd. No offense, but with so much suffering in the world, I don't want to know what gym you belong to, what restaurants you go to what kind of car you drive, what organizations you belong to, what your culture or background is, or most importantly what religion you have. Show us how humane you are, how loving, how embracing of all humanity, of all creation. Then I will know your true religion and may ask you how you regained your humanity. Only at that point might I be interested in hearing about your religion.

nd. How slowly I learn. Smh. Like all highly creative and productive people I am at least mildly manic depressive. When I undergo surgery as I did most recently two and a half weeks ago, I anticipate this rapid recovery. The opposite happens. My body demanded another 13 hours of sleep, so far, today. Smh. Depression is highly adaptive. It is nature's mechanism of slowing down the creature so that healing and renewed growth can happen. It is painful. It is distressing. It is frightening. But if it is not wallowed in, not disrespected, it does an amazing amount of wonderful work. I feel my body beginning to rebound and my psychology as well, with huge up-and-down swings.

activist Manal Al Tamimi was arrested today in Al Nabi Saleh while, she and her family were coming back from working on Ramallah. Manal, her Husband Belal, their son Osama, and Marwan, Belal's brother, were arrested by the israeli soldier's argument they were entering to the village. But they know that, Tamimi's family are an strong activists on this village
It saddens me to see that other people’s wishes for the New Year are so different from what so many Palestinians would even consider possible. Why? Why can’t we dream of things other than having a year without another bloody war with Israel, having 24/7-electricity, and having the freedom to travel abroad? Why can’t Gazans just have a normal life? Why can’t we enjoy a festive beginning to the New Year as all other people around the world do? My heart aches, what I and other Gazans call wishes are what the rest of the world calls rights!
Settlers attack U.S. convoy near West Bank outpost Settlers from the West Bank outpost of Adei Ad threw rocks at a U.S. Consulate convoy carrying American diplomats on Friday afternoon. The convoy was hit after arriving at a nearby Palestinian village to examine olive groves that were uprooted a day prior. According to Ynet, American security personnel drew their M16 rifles as settlers approached the convoy. No one was injured in the confrontation

nd. You know, I've been having chest pains the last few days. I think it is nothing. Feels like what I had about 8 months ago, and a night in the hospital being tested said: 1. you are right to come in with these symptoms; 2. come in again if you have them again; 3. but right now, there is nothing bad going on with your heart. Well, if I don't wake up tomorrow, or sometime, I'm ok with that. Read my blog postings of the last day or so. Every day teaches me that what we've made of the world is more horrible than I realized yesterday. But if I do wake up tomorrow, as I expect to, I'll do the one thing that makes life bearable - devote every breath to the global neediest.

***** nd. Any one, from any religion, that sends out 'we are the one true religion crap' will be unfriended by me quickly. This is time for serious people, not religious fantasy freaks. By whatever name - Loving, Brotherhood, Lived Solidarity with the global neediest... is the ONE TRUE RELIGION. If you don't 'get' that, well, be well, but get out of my way. There is serious work to do, in the real world, not your fantasy world.
