Right here..Right now…For to many people living in America from the gritty urban venues of neighborhoods of America’s cities to the contours of cul de sacs of suburbia these are perilous times in this post industrial digital era of America. The velocity of negativity is at web speed from the media accounts of entire industries collapsing and people being laid off into forever to tales of young children body parts being tortured and burned in shabby 3rd world urban shacks. Life in America is perilous the revolution is being televised and it is on every channel with surround sound and 3d pictures. Into this state of life in our nation the occupy movement has emerged as a response and reaction to the funky odors, powerless corridors and reality of life for many in america who are on life support and who reject the texture and character of the American empire.
Right here..Right now..This is a moment for the nation to step away from the insanity and madness and the aura of hopelessness and decadence and confusion and reach out and hold on to each other from family to friends to associates and maybe even strangers. People are under enormous stress and duress all manner of thoughts, excuses, plots are in the heads of even normal responsible people. The dreams people have now are nightmares full of nothingness. Yet we have an opportunity to become interventionists in our plight and national affairs at every level of human activity in our nation. We can occupy the venues and situations which bring us the despair and decay and the economic inequality and replace them with new humane and functional paradigms which serve the many instead of just a selected few and elite.. The occupy movements allow every person in our nation to interact and share our concerns and visions for a new America.
Right here..Right now…In every community across the nation we must regroup and create a safe haven where love, honesty, civility, decency, trust, sharing, all the ingredients of civility and love must break though. We are in dark era where fear, anger, frustration, pain, and evil is becoming an accepted norm and custom. Our values and purpose are floundering. We are shaky and unreliable for each other. Participating and becoming an active person in a occupy movement is a civil and civic duty.
Right here..Right now.. Across this great nation in every enclave , backyard, front porch, pew, gym, office, basement, church, temple, playground, bedroom, kitchen every community needs a cultural reset and return to the genius of basic truths and common humanity and shared sustainability. Our communities must step up and correct all the wrongs which have us now at the end of cliff.
Right here..Right now….We must save ourselves from each other …..This is where our lives must change ..Right where YOU are when YOU read this…Reach Out and help our community navigate to a new promise land.
Navigating though hopelessness not alone but together in a Occupy movement near you…Right Here……Right Now
