JWG's Necessity April 29 — May 1, 2012

Discretion and Common Sense are not in the Public’s interest in an election year. And, when it is election season, which is 24/7 these days, both of the aforementioned are nonexistent. If there happens to be a bit of decency, it is chewed up and spat out to become political slurry. I dread what may occur around The States in the upcoming months. Will deep pockets prevail? Will the electorate trust dollars instead of brains? Don’t the People realize that it is We who make the dollars that fill the pockets of the rich? I am sick and tired of reading ignorant rhetoric. I will say this: These days I am able to read some articles that are well-researched. These do delight me. However, what I read is not generally popular which boggles my mind. Popularity appears to be filled with fear. Frankly, today, I fear popularity. I fear for my happy existence. This World, as ever, is agitated. I did think that calm would cascade. It disturbs me greatly to know new laws are being created to stymy common decency. Those in charge seem to fear more than the People they govern. This makes no sense. Is it that the politicians do not trust the People? The politicians, as a group, are greedy individuals taking advantage of their power. Those politicians who do have a semblance of calm discretion and common sense are dismissed. It is getting so that I, myself, distrust the majority of people who supposedly work for we, the People. At the end of this year, will I feel safe in this country that has been my home? I sense the People are being riled to rebel against all that has made us able to exist in this agitated World. I come from a long line of People who live-and-let-live. Their common sense has been slow-coming in my favor. Now that I can live a married life with the person I choose, those with a genetic ego are protesting. Why must there be protests? Have we nothing else to do?

Ah, well, I will continue living — loving — and, if I must, protest. Protesting has brought me here today. I am thankful.

It has become commonplace for me to delve into seeking how others have portrayed gay relationships.

Last night, I watched an Italian movie, “David’s Birthday”, which was, once again, about confusion leading to tragedy. I have had enough of this sort of drama that is not operatic in scope. The attempt to be realistic with unrealistic results is tiresome. Yet, when it attains “operatic in scope”, it is so over-the-top that emotions are let loose and any situation can become believable. Therefore, I will continue my delving until I find, for me, another perfect story.

Perfection is Truth. Perfection is emotion shared — portrayed with a realism that makes all witnesses feel with empathy. Music allows all sorts of ranges without cumbersome words. Actions, too, can be musical. We watch and do not cipher the mixture of language. Am I too close to the understanding of what I seek? My senses tell me that is my Truth. I shall have to make my own story.

Last night, a film was watched that makes what I wrote yesterday a rant.

Mike Leigh’s “Another Year” is an excellent escape into Another’s reality. Certain film directors are excellent novelists. It is encouraging to view Life with a Heart. I shall continue this experience with openness. I have delved just a bit and need to plunge into options. Surrounding myself with a pleasant array of emotional Truths helps, not hinders. I must learn to treat my Self as a shell that is difficult to crack. My interior is soft and squishy. I have to recall how I grew my shell. I have to treasure the softness that encourages. My memory is laden with all diversions that swept me from one day to the next.

Each day is another day. Each week is another week. Each month is another month. Each year is Another Year.

Yesterday, when at the park with my Nephew, I found two four-leaf clovers. These clovers, indeed, all the lucky clovers I find, are, for me, a sign that my Life is on track.

Rainbows and Clovers are my personal talismans.
