heaven?
"getting into heaven" is the goal?...rather than contributing to a heavenly atmosphere in real time...the only potential heaven available..."believe and ye shall be forgiven" no matter what crap gets pulled.
my ventures into heaven?...we know when we are there because we never want to leave and time both stands still yet goes by way too swiftly? honestly....
don't blink or heaven goes by and the clueless miss it alllllll the time. sad to watch...very tragic.
so i return to my own heaven and try not to feel the heartache that others surely do who are missing heaven every second of every day.
and heaven so very clearly resides in the knowing, innocent faces of cows and horses and bears and cats and dogs...etc., etc. those of us who realize that get a bonus in the nano-second we live on this particular planet.

Put others first...all the way from bustling ants to elephants and all the sentient beings in between
amazing how we can do more than we ever dreamed possible...push our bodies, minds, hearts, resources to the limit and beyond.
how? put others first...all the way from bustling ants to elephants and all the sentient beings in between. caring and helping to educate and to save lives whether directly or indirectly cannot be topped for real living in real time -- NOW -- every day!
what a revelation when one figures out why we are all alive at this particular time...to look out for one another! ♥!! it ain't always effortless or easy...but so rewarding and mostly great fun!
___________
Nice comments...
From Chopperini Batista: "I always love your work on facebook!"
From Edward Levine: "Read Susie's link.......This is one incredibly, amazing, gifted, compassionate woman.......I don't know how she does all she does every day......I have a hard times getting my times straight if I have to go for a haircut and blow my nose at the same time......."

i'd go before a firing squad on behalf of animal welfare...
i'll tell you that nothing but nothing holds my interest like working on behalf of animals...
i'd go before a firing squad on behalf of animal welfare...
for if one loves the most innocent among us be assured one actually loves all animals, including the human race such as it is! ;D

Latest Homeward Angle column “HEY, Y’ALL! NO SUCH ANIMAL AS A ‘CIVIL’ WAR…"
[Original column and photos can be found here}
Allow me to explain myself. I am located at the conclusion of a lengthy direct line of lineage piled up with (Carolina) Southern Dixiecrats and talcum-powdered ladies. I’ve lived my life as the lone Damned Yankee seeking to cauterize subtle family dissensions and outrageous stereotypical mind-sets, as in “enough is enough!” I admit that I judge myself as trapped in a one-of-a kind type of ethnicity in such a difficult to define breed that I am in a perpetual race to quell my own polarized tendencies. I struggle to find my original soul. I strive to function unsuccessfully as the diplomatic “missing link”.
On those long walks to and from a Hoosier grammar school in the 50s, I literally suffered, yet endured, misdirected prejudice and fiendish bias. Only a tall cold one in the form of an R. C. Cola, extracted from the “icebox”, would soothe my agonized psyche. Plopping onto the waiting “divan” -- to pout as well as to watch after-school kiddie fare on black and white Tv, emphasis on the “T”, -- calmed my nerves long about 3:30 every school day. MoonPies satisfied as tranquilizers.
Innocent phrases such as “my daddy carried us to Ft. Wayne Saturday to lunch at Gardner’s Drive Inn” nearly got me strung up, Clint Eastwood-ish “high”! Those harmless yet indigenous Southland words -- “divan” for “couch” and “icebox” for “refrigerator” and “carry” for transporting via our old Ford -- prompted gales of condescending laughter emanating from a few select classmates. Never beaten up but once, still I feared that one day I might be discovered in a lifeless heap before winding my way back to the safety of our little house. A replay version between Walnut and Line Streets, of the damaging War Between the States, seemed totally imminent. I languished in mortal terror until I left for a more representative and inclusive culture at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
Fiddle dee dee! I got born in Fort Wayne’s Lutheran Hospital -- contrary to reports of having been discovered beneath a cabbage leaf somewhere -- seldom straying far from my roots in Columbia City, Indiana, but I am a perpetual half-breed. How so?
A personal inventory reveals: As a Southerner I seldom wear shoes, do possess a hospitable penchant for “critters”, gush out way too many compliments, and would give anyone -- who needed it -- the very t-shirt off my arthritic back! On the other more Northern hand, I become knee-jerkily stubborn, detest phoniness, generally tell it like it is, and never forget a slight. Neither an ignoble two-faced Janus nor a Jekyll and Hyde, I move pretty fluidly from one aspect of my personality to the other …occasionally puzzling both camps, the Union and the Confederacy.
Sensing through my reading and research and experience that every individual, whether one likes it or not, lives out life as a virtual melting pot, I cannot fathom why each of us is not more understanding and tolerant of those with whom we come in contact. At our cores, we are truly so comparable yet all mixed up as well! The contentiousness, lately (or since the advent of time?) associated with politics and religion and sexual matters and those who believe differently from ourselves, is a sheer and utter bore and the resultant chatter qualifies as cacophonous. Nobody wins. Is compromise the answer then? Milked down, moderate compromise? Or flaming extremisms of every sort. Moderation itself seems a “far out” (Thanks, John Denver!) stance currently.
Ah, the conflicts and contradictions of functioning on the playground of life! As a fifth grader, I recall the academic introduction, via our well-worn history texts, of the topic of the Civil War between the agrarian South and the industrial North simplified justifiably, as well as controversially, to the issue of human rights denied to African-Americans. One very bright girl, freshly envious of my switch to an all new wardrobe due to my waking up nearly six feet tall at age eleven one morning, started a small town “sour-grapes”-vine-ish rumor that the Duncans had once owned slaves????? Hardly. She confused us with Thomas Jefferson or maybe Simon Legree. (As a devout Methodist, she also broadcast that my Southern-Baptist-Indoctrinated/ Switched-to-Lutheran dad most certainly must be an alcoholic because we housed a lightly stacked liquor cabinet?) Furthermore, our own Hoosierland lives in infamy as a hotbed of Ku Klux Klan activity. So there. Paradoxes abound. Yankees and their biases!
On the other hand, a handsome cousin -- way down South in formerly Democrat-oriented Dixie -- contends that Tarheels still detest JFK who disrupted their once thriving textile and furniture-making commerce. I know better. The truth? Both the Kennedy and Johnson administrations pushed through Civil Right legislation, and the South felt humbled once again. But not for long. Its clay earth turned redder-than-red-Republican throughout the lay of the land. So very fiscally SELF-conscious are most of those freshly Conservative states beneath the Mason-Dixon Line that now Nissan and BMW plants dot the landscape as the (maybe schizophrenic) South rises once again, Phoenix-like! Wealth and political power stirred into a recipe including that “old-time religion” have returned. Politicians of all varieties fall all over themselves to cater to Southern voters and to offer promises ranging from reasonable to outrageous. How ironic that while enthusiastically embracing foreign automobile manufacturers, "new" Conservatives -- whose bloodlines I share but whom I barely recognize -- have abandoned Detroit and our "bailed out" American automakers? Rebels and their saccharine confused/confusing feistiness!
I am a quixotic blend of that fictitious, infamous “Man Without a Country” Philip Nolan and Abe Lincoln who borrowed the Biblical concept that a “house divided against itself cannot stand” (especially with one foot up North and the other down South) and also Tarheel Thomas Wolfe – author of 1929’s “Look Homeward, Angel” (originally entitled ”O, Lost”) -- who claimed via his 1940 posthumous novel that “You Can’t Go Home Again….”
During my college years, humorist/cartoonist Jules Feiffer wrote the script for a play and subsequent film entitled “Little Murders”, a black comedy which critic Roger Ebert declared “a definitive reflection of America’s darker moods…breaking audiences down into isolated individuals, vulnerable and uncertain.” Feiffer is also noteworthy for stating that “getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence” and that “maturity is only a short break in adolescence…”
Having lived a relatively long life filled with fun, instructiveness, meaningful friendships, 5,005 glorious Facebook acquaintances around the globe, ironies, startling hypocrisies, and realizations of the ultimate importance of living and letting live, I wonder how we might rid this world of “little wars” whether they be among and between children, adults, political and religious persuasions, countries, or raging within ourselves. Peace! It’s wonderful -- but for some peculiar reason, also elusive.

Status time...no more killing, no more bullying, no more selfishness
status time--just now read a post stating that record numbers of innocent dogs and cats are murdered (yes killing is killing -- a catch-all/short-hand term) in shelters every day now. so, if they are dumped due to the economy --and not out of pure apathy and selfishness...
well, for starters, do not be intimidated by the humongous expense of veterinary care. the best and most effective care a human can provide for an animal is LOVE AND NURTURING.
BTW, the alternative to just reaching out and adopting a stray or a shelter animal is DEATH for that homeless living being...and that's worse than insufficient veterinary care. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED. LOVE IS THE BEST MEDICINE.
please stop giving up on animals...please do not dump them...please adopt and thanks so very much...the healing they provide, in this selfish and money-hungry world, is way better than human psychiatric treatment and human psychosomatic illnesses.
i have a handicapped cat myself...precious girl she is...wish everyone had the hearts of those of us who care about them enough to go that extra mile. wow. wouldn't that be great? cuz many more hearts are needed in this battle to revere all living beings.
...i tried to figure out what might be the problem with all of this second by second mass-murdering and why it is going unchecked and disregarded. so appalling. time for cooperation among all human beings...allllllllll human beings...those who care should not be intimidated into giving up pets...and those who do not give a d*mn should begin to think of something besides themselves. end of statement. period
...people disappoint me on a daily (sometimes hourly) basis...ungrateful and non-responsive and unappreciative and disloyal and undependable...other than that humans are fine! ;D lots of nice ones
...however, follow-through and life-long commitment to causes and passions and each other? not so much! failing grade there! (and usually the wrong folks get all the glory...) want loyalty? adopt a dog...or cat! =^..^=
...what absolute s**ts! tired of mincing words about blood-thirsty crappers! is that better! ;D and some people feel some killing is okay of some animals...geesh again...cannot even fathom that lack of logic!
tired of being forced to get shy about these atrocities...the joys of living in a very small town i guess? ;D well f**k that!
thinking outside ourselves is fantastic! thanks for reading...now please go get a pet...or open your front door to a stray! LOVE HEALS ALL WOUNDS! ♥ ♥ ♥

Nice comment from Sylvie Caltrider about the "Secrets of an Old Typewriter" video: "I LOVE THIS VERY MUCH. I was raised in a very small town in Normandy, France, and you bring back good memories. Very refreshing thank you...I am glad that I made your day as you make so many of us happy."
___________
awww, the screaming talking heads can just shut up now...men discussing marriage in any form whatsoever is just gaggy and unconvincing ... and the entire concept is a dinosaur ... count the divorces and check out the adultery.
one big pose since its advent. men? women? let's start referring to all human beings as persons...and shut up about SEX at last...
...gone about as low as it can go...so great when people are not afraid to speak up in the face of horrors like bias and bullying and slaying animals and so forth. i am glad obama spoke up on behalf of goodness and kindness today...about time. about time. hopefully, folks start easing up on nasty crap now...it is no longer nor never was cute...it is disgusting. and elections should start reflecting that. no more bigots. no more witch-hunters.
yep...and lunatics they are...i don't care how "right" they think they are, mean is mean -- and the biases and the bullying are getting way outta hand. sick of the nasties among us! way too many of 'em...and many claim god would approve of their crap...well, huh-uh!~ no way!
my husband spoke of the frightening fundamentalist movement about 10 years ago and has never relented...i disagreed with him...but day by day it is getting deeper and deeper in a very shallow way....know what i mean? and the sheer hypocrisy is startling...take a good look at the types who purport to be holier than thou...and baby they are not now nor have they ever been. incredible. and it is horrid.
plastic headed boobies... stupid idiots can be dangerous in large groups...and they always gotta be in groups cuz of their sissiness...a lot of macho types are actually as sissy as h*ll...that is why they operate in groups. i would love to write more about this and list those groups...but some of those groups might smack me down...;D hopefully, you can fill in the blanks. wheeeeeee. and oh, yeah, the hypocrisy is UNREAL...cannot believe how many who have behaved sooooooooo questionably are on board the heaven-bound express. if that's where they end up i would rather go to h*ll! gladly!

empathy/apathy = ?
empathy = caring and relating and becoming actively involved in saving lives and ending suffering.
apathy = not giving a damn about anybody but one's self.
empathy is so rewarding.
apathy leads nowhere except possibly world-wide disaster.

Killers too proudly pose...
Tears HOT run down my face.
View hectic human race
In stills and videos!
Killers too proudly pose
Alongside fallen prey.
"Stop!" Many of us pray.
Let our voices be heard --
And fresh consciousness stirred.
