Riddle Sideways: good morning, you made it ㋡
Adams Rubble: Good morning Riddle :)
Adams Rubble: busy morning
Riddle Sideways: imaging it is
Riddle Sideways: a long drive in the car car
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: stop and go
Adams Rubble: stop and go slowly
Adams Rubble: go slowly and speed up and then stop
Riddle Sideways: the thrill of traffic
Adams Rubble: there was an appearance of the early morning sunshine through the trees on the side of the road
Riddle Sideways: beauty amid the traffic
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: sunbeams
Adams Rubble: Happly Halloween Eve :)
Adams Rubble: boo
Riddle Sideways: was just reviewing the many times of seeing something like those sunbeams
Riddle Sideways: O HHHH!
Riddle Sideways: ya scary
Riddle Sideways: bought some candy yesterday
Riddle Sideways: never have kids come up all the stairs, but might this year
Riddle Sideways: then in a couple days, will eat all the M&Ms
Riddle Sideways: and be sorely sugar highed
Adams Rubble: we are on a side street and they never used to come but showed up in big numbers last year--maybe it is the economy
Adams Rubble: or more kids
Riddle Sideways: or a third thing
Adams Rubble: or sugar craved kids
Adams Rubble: choco-holics
Riddle Sideways: like the bird feeder syndrome. can be empty for days, 7 minutes after filling ALL the birds know and come
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: and the squirrels
Riddle Sideways: and the ants to a spill
Riddle Sideways: there just has to be communication levels that the arrogant humans don't get
Adams Rubble: they certainly don't get the trees
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: played a birthday-Halloween party over the weekend
Riddle Sideways: everybody costumed up
Riddle Sideways: a couple that was Trump and Stormy
Riddle Sideways: so many pirates
Adams Rubble: aye Matey!
Riddle Sideways: the band all wore long wigs to pretend we still had hair like the ol days
Adams Rubble starts thinking of metaphorical pirates attacking when she is metaphorically sailing
Adams Rubble: ha!
Adams Rubble: Kleshas the pirates
Riddle Sideways: arrrrr bewarrry o da pirateeees matey
Riddle Sideways: Thar be Pirates
Adams Rubble: a whole new theme to play with
Riddle Sideways: yes!
Riddle Sideways: work with/at/around that
Adams Rubble: off to the starboard thar be anger approaching
Riddle Sideways: that dualism principle
Adams Rubble: man the starboard cannons
Riddle Sideways: if ya got one then ya gotz the other
Adams Rubble: :)
Riddle Sideways: spent much time last night trying to understand the dark side
Adams Rubble sings you can't have one, you can't have one, without the other
Riddle Sideways: Doris Day?
Adams Rubble: Frank Sinatra
Riddle Sideways: she still lives down the road about 8 miles
Adams Rubble: :)
Adams Rubble: Frank has crossed to the other side
Adams Rubble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRDBvKGc1fE
Adams Rubble: hehe
Riddle Sideways: thanks, looked that up also
Adams Rubble sways to the music
Adams Rubble taps foot
Riddle Sideways: yes, happy light song
Riddle Sideways: what this day needs
Adams Rubble: we came a long way from your gig
Adams Rubble: pirates will do that
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: there were many mentions/quotes of "both sides think the other side is wrong, hateful, anger, etc."
Riddle Sideways: and that the personal listening channel was only presenting what it that was the one side
Riddle Sideways: so, tried hard to find that other side
Riddle Sideways: and listen
Riddle Sideways: Fresh Air did a good job
https://www.npr.org/2018/10/28/66163...nagogue-shoote
Riddle Sideways: they interviewed the almost white nationalist guy that wrote a book reviewed in Sept
Riddle Sideways: as to the language being used
Riddle Sideways: this fountain has heard this before
Adams Rubble: the fountain has hear much
Riddle Sideways: personal data collected brings us what we might want to heard next
Riddle Sideways: very hard to hear the other side or even natural
Riddle Sideways: chatters that get kicked off FB, go to another site (StormFront)
Riddle Sideways: and listeners follow over there
Riddle Sideways: some got to rough for that site
Riddle Sideways: so they went to an even more 'allowed' (aloud) social media place (Gab)
Riddle Sideways: and a guy listens over and over to it
Adams Rubble: Maybe we need to see through the hateful speech to the vulnerable person behind it
Riddle Sideways: becomes his only source
Adams Rubble: the person who is hurting
Riddle Sideways: Yes! was thinking that
Adams Rubble: the person who needs to attack others to make him/her self seem more important
Riddle Sideways: buys into all the rhetoric
Riddle Sideways: well, not quite attacking to importantize Self
Adams Rubble: when the speech is hate speech we should not be condoning it
Riddle Sideways: listening to all the stuff about that 'Others' are doing gernocide to His people
Adams Rubble: hard to love the person behind it but must do our best to bring up some compassion from the deepest recesses of our hearts
Riddle Sideways: yes, was trying to go there. tried to understand their view point
Riddle Sideways: very hard
Adams Rubble: yes, very hard
Adams Rubble: I think the answer is beyond their viewpoint
Riddle Sideways: See, they Actually Know that Jews are evil and running the World
Riddle Sideways: they Actually Know that imigrants are killing Our people
Riddle Sideways: They have to fight back to save Their people. They become soldiers on the front lines
Adams Rubble: the sounds of ignoranc
Adams Rubble: ignorance
Riddle Sideways: probably not to be more important selves
Riddle Sideways: but as soldiers in The Cause
Adams Rubble: the "I" running amuk
Riddle Sideways: amuk
--BELL--
Adams Rubble: It is not their speech we need to understand but the hurting person behind it
Adams Rubble: people
Adams Rubble: they were once babies born without hate--it had to be taught to them
Adams Rubble: then condoned by a leader of the country
Riddle Sideways: if ones point of view switched
Riddle Sideways: and through their eyes looked at the hate being pointed at them
Riddle Sideways: looking over their enemy lines at soldiers that really truely Hate him and Must be killed before they kill anymore of His kind
Adams Rubble: I must confess something Riddle
Riddle Sideways: ?
Adams Rubble: you help me clarify my thoughts
Riddle Sideways: oh dear
Adams Rubble: like through soft pitches to a batter
Adams Rubble: throwing :)
Adams Rubble: I very much thank you
Riddle Sideways: sorry, not really trying to do that. just working through mental cobwebs on this end
Adams Rubble: Yesterday I was saying that I can not understand these people
Riddle Sideways: yes, said that too
Adams Rubble: do not have to try to understand their speech
Adams Rubble: must go beyond to the person hurting doing bad things
Adams Rubble: love the person not the things
Adams Rubble: so simple, so hard
Riddle Sideways: so hard
Riddle Sideways: well, what started down that path was the language used
Adams Rubble nods
Adams Rubble: awful language
Riddle Sideways: coded wordages
Adams Rubble: yes
Adams Rubble: awful things being done
Adams Rubble: a real crisis
Riddle Sideways: nationalism (good word) means to many White Nationalism
Riddle Sideways: as Derek Black's father coined it
Adams Rubble: nationalism is an "I" word
Riddle Sideways: arg, can't get the link over here
Riddle Sideways: Fresh Air yesterday, Eli Saslow
(found and pasted above)
Riddle Sideways: or not
Riddle Sideways: it does little for peace of mind
Riddle Sideways: some clarity though
Riddle Sideways: women's I-Help dinner was last night
Riddle Sideways: there was not a Jew among the women, so they were very interested
Riddle Sideways: asking about why are we hated
Riddle Sideways: so much
Riddle Sideways: how does one answer that?
Adams Rubble: ouch
Adams Rubble: why would they ask that?
Riddle Sideways: they had heard of the shootings
Riddle Sideways: even they, who have so many personal issues to work through/around/about wanted to know of others
Riddle Sideways: little ol lady on a walker, patting my arm "you're a good boy, why would anybody not like you?"
Adams Rubble: ohhh--that is bizarre
Riddle Sideways: in a way., it is not
Riddle Sideways: so explored that landscape
Riddle Sideways: go past the platitudes
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: that guy did not know or want to get to know those 2 nice 58yr old brothers Rosenthal
Riddle Sideways: only that they were a symbol
Riddle Sideways: a dis-ease
Riddle Sideways: why/how did he come to think that?
Adams Rubble: he was taught that
Riddle Sideways: yes
Riddle Sideways: what school was that?
Adams Rubble: I am afraid I must run at a bad time
Riddle Sideways: yes, ya gotz things to do, explore and teach
Adams Rubble: The school of hate and the school of "I vs Them"
Riddle Sideways: ㋡
Riddle Sideways: go have your best time
Adams Rubble: a little person standing here by me
Riddle Sideways: /waves
Adams Rubble: I hope you have a good couple of days and we can continue Thursday
Adams Rubble: by for now
Riddle Sideways: will try hard to be here
Riddle Sideways: now
Riddle Sideways: and thanks
PS. please allow one...
Years of taking a 9-sec break to connect elsewhere, then go back.
Years of going outside, going other, Being and Playing there.
Fun! Playing as a tree, as the rock, as the moon looking at earth, as Voyager leaving the Solar System, as a little kid, as a dead poet, playing in Great Time, toying with pretty great Wisdom and then to play as the mind of the soldier on the other front.
Trying so hard to walk a mile in Those mocassins.
