Living Life As An Artist
Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice or you are not. It makes no sense to say you're not good at it. It's like saying, "I am not good at being a monk." You are either living as a monk or you are not. We tend to think of the artist's work as the output. The real way of the artist is a way of being in the world. ~ Rick Rubin from "The Creative Act"
“If you can see yourself as an artist, and you can see that your life is your own creation, then why not create the most beautiful story for yourself?” ― Don Miguel Ruiz ❤️
“Every human is an artist. The dream of your life is to make beautiful art.” ― Don Miguel Ruiz ❤️
THANKSGIVING - THE RETURN to the FAMILY TABLE
🙏 Thanksgiving 🙏 - Last year we hosted 53 people at our home. We had music and performance, dance, poetry, and a lot of food. 52 of us had no jabs, a tiny bit different than the demographics of the gatherings we’ve hosted the previous 2.5 years where 100% were not jabbed. On this day, 1 person, a new partner of a friend, was jabbed & done with being jabbed.
Most of the people with whom we celebrated were relatively new friends, our freedom tribe, and my only relative was my husband. During the 1st great bioweapon craziness, many who chose not to get the jab were not invited to gather and celebrate with family and close friends…even if we agreed not to talk politics. This was a time when lone hikers and bikers in the woods near our home were protected by the fresh air by a mask, while a few of us maskless troubadours placed White Rose stickers in the forest, at the locked fence of the neighborhood kiddie playground, at the post office, on street signs - hoping we didn’t follow in the steps of young Sophie Scholl, who was executed by Nazis for passing leaflets antagonistic to the Nazi regime.
“The sun is still shining!” Sophie Scholl, the Hitler youth turned pacifist fighter and anti-Nazi advocate shouted as she made her way to the execution chamber, faced with the sharp taunt of the guillotine that awaited.
Her brother Hans, also a former Hitler youth turned revolutionary and founder of the student-led anti-fascist group White Rose, followed in his younger sister’s footsteps. “Long live freedom!” He roared as the blade fell.
I felt intense sadness and collapse at the little village park with a disproportionately huge lock secured the thickest and biggest chain link fence I’ve ever seen, in order to “keep kids safe”.
I imagined the gestapo sneaking into our rural village at night, putting chains around the playground, signs at the entrance to hiking trails, notices in the post office. A stealth job, just like almost 20 years ago when PG&E sent white trucks with no writing or designs with unknown men barging unannounced through gates into the yards of our neighbors’ homes and installing smart meters without the permission or even notification of the owners. Luckily, we were a step ahead and displayed a large NO SMART METER sign which we picked up from Valeri before we knew the magnificence of this local freedom advocate, now friend.) PG&E was required to acknowledge our sign and to this day, we still don’t have a smart meter, any smart appliances or our own wifi in the home.
When I saw the Tartarian chains surrounding the Lilliputan toys at the playground, the rebel in tried unsuccessfully scale that fence and run like a child screaming like Tarzan and yodeling for my neighbors to come play with me. I applauded neighbors who did jump the fence, despite the scary sign that told us of fines and misdemeanors for disobeying these orders.
What country was I in? I couldn’t wrap my mind around the stupidity of people complying. This didn’t make sense. How could it be that here in Marin, where I can been in Sacramento protesting the rapidly advancing vaccine schedule with AB1098, SB277, SB276…. Marin, a county of Waldorf schools, where medical physicians and natural/integrative health care providers chanted OM SHANTI in lululemon outfits…where fitness, lifestyle and dietary factors blended seamlessly with eastern practices, yoga, bicycling in fresh air, composting, organic eating, positive thinking, sovereignty were hallmarks of the area known as Mayberry on LSD (Fearfix, CA), and where one of the local indie health food store’s owner was a major player in the non-GMO project. How did this store wind up with a 90+% jab rate, with arrows down the aisles, 6-feet apart guides, and you are not welcome without a (certain kind of) mask.
(See Allan Stevo’s books about Masking. . .https://substack.com/@realstevo)
The gauze mask has about as much efficacy against the ‘virus’ as the required N-95s. Many of us wouldn’t wear masks, but when I had a medical emergency and the blood testing department wouldn’t see me no matter how much I protesteth.. I sprung for a copper anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-fungal reusable and Tru47 reusable copper/silver face mask.
This year it seems that many of our vaccinated friends and family are welcoming us back, or coming to our table for Thanksgiving. Ah, the relief of being done with this shit psyops. . . .However, while many of us are now dining for Thanksgiving with previously bifurcated relationship, the superficial freedoms to go out in public (rumors about masks being required in CA again in mid-December), are a ruse hiding the incredible demonic techno surveillance state that Newsom is already creating for his god Xi, probably as part of his plan to get Xi’s blessing to wiggle his way (or in his mind, ascend) into the White House, so he can fuck up the country the way he has fucked up our beautiful state of California.
So this year, many people who had nowhere to go last Thanksgiving have found places to go with relatives, old friends, resuming their holiday tradition, mending fences, and most likely not talking politics. Let us find grace in these times together, as we enjoy the simplicity of these present moments. The world out these seems bat-shit-bonkers (as Katie Hopkins says), but there is a place inside, we were can find peace. I intend to celebrate with my tribe this year, coming from the still space inside, and perhaps that’s because I think we may be on a different timeline (Fibonacci vs. Krysto), and even if that’s just new age bullshit, I ask myself the question of Byron Katie: “And how do I feel when I think that thought?” And I feel mighty right fine.
I wish you & your thanksgiving tribe a beautiful time.
There's got to be a way of gettin out this place we find we're in
There's got to be a way of getting out this bloody mess we're in
[…]
There's got to be a time when we can get together natur'ly
There's got to be a time when we can all be brothers and be free
There's got to be a day when there is enough love for you and me
We're gonna take the world and shake the world and what will be is gonna be
[…]
Take my heart now, Feed us kids now, Touch the sky now
Children of the rainbow, Children of tomorrow, Children of tomorrow

Take Action: Risky mRNA Foods
Restrict Risky mRNA Foods!
Risky mRNA technology is already being used to produce our food.
State legislators are playing catch-up, trying to get ahead of these new GMOs with bills to restrict or label mRNA foods.
Old GMOs modify DNA. These new GMOs modify RNA, but the impact on the eater is the same: they expose us to new proteins that could be toxic or allergenic. As this explainer in the Atlantic puts it:
“People rely on proteins for just about every bodily function; mRNA—which stands for messenger ribonucleic acid—tells our cells which proteins to make. With human-edited mRNA, we could theoretically commandeer our cellular machinery to make just about any protein under the sun. You could mass-produce molecules that occur naturally in the body …. Or you could request our cells to cook up an off-menu protein….”
What “off-menu” proteins are being produced inside the bodies of food animals receiving mRNA vaccines is anyone’s guess.
TAKE ACTION: Tell Your Lawmakers to Restrict Risky mRNA Foods!

😱 Proposed US laws to Protect Pesticide Companies
‘It’s an abomination’: battle brewing over proposed US laws to protect pesticide companies. Hey, let’s create pesticides that contribute to breast and other hormonal cancers, and then let’s create the drug to ‘cure’ breast cancer. It’s a win-win for the chemical companies. Been going on for decades. The Nazis never left (Operation Paperclip).

🤖 Freakin’ Amazon checking to make sure I’m not a Robot
Seriously Amazon… How ironic. I deactivated my Amazon Prime account, along with Netflix, stopped hosting on airbnb after being a 5-star superhost for almost a decade, and a host of other woke organizations in Summer 2020. Look, I ain’t no saint. I still have money in some of the worst banks, and even used Airbnb (only once last year) despite them giving tons of dinero to support the worst vaccine political candidates and legislation in SF and CA in general. I guess I pick and choose, but when I know outright that an organization treats its workers like shit, buys up all kinds of other businesses, well heck… look at this below, which I have not vetted but can vet the Food Hole, WaPo, One Medical….
So when I was looking for a product and clicked on a link, not knowing it was taking me to Amazon and was presented with this AI sentry, I thought, Isn’t It Ironic?
PS - Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides the most comprehensive services, tools, and resources to meet your AI technology requirements, and they are concerned that I, ROBOT? I think that’s ze pot calling ze kettle black….
