A place of peace


Hellothere

Recommended Posts

Inhale the air

For once life seems fair

Up on this mountain 

Where there is no doubting 

 

Looking away

Started on the highway

On the way to this peaceful place

Where im not a disgrace 

 

Mirrors dont bother me

Its not what i dont see

It the beauty 

As If accepting is my duty

 

This cabin

All i hear is laughing

I know who i am

I wont make my joy scram

 

My personality 

And sexuality 

My gender

Taken out of the blender

 

That creates me

And everything i want to be

In this peaceful place

The worlds saving grace

That creates us

And everything we want to be

In this peaceful place

The worlds saving grace

 

Your words inspire

And create peace in place of air

In a world that needs

What we have to offer

I just finished watching ‘Mountain Between Us’ So it’s interesting I would read your poem today and you talk about a mountain. In all of us is the will to survive but it’s not activated until we really need it. Once you get to the top of the mountain you can enjoy the view. As you take in the sights you begin to notice how far you really have come. Then you can put your flag up and say in pride I made it. Then you have a choice. You can climb back down the mountain or start climbing the next one. Life doesn’t give us a break we have to take one ourselves. Smell the fresh air, take in all the new colors and expieriences, enjoy the moment, and then pack up and move forward. Always move forward. 

 

Keep climbing!

@Hellothere,  the one place in the world where I have no care for me physical presentation is in the natural world. I am a long time hike/backpacker/mountain biker. And out there, I am free. Out there, I am not viewed by gender. Out there I breathe the peace of creation.

I penned this many years ago as I stared at a distant horizon at the end of a long day; an escape from the world of concrete and asphalt, men and machinations. I had come out to my wife one month prior. 

 

Dusk
 
The sun settles gently into the west
And the early evening warmth slowly wanes
 
Silence and stillness fill these moments
Noone intrudes
and nothing disturbs the solitude
 
Time slows
 
Night will slowly envelope this citrus sky
And tomorrow will inevitably come.
 
But now, here
Forgotten are the sordid fears of the past
And the fleeting dreams of the future
 
Only now remains.
Only now reigns
 
And here am I.

      What do you do when you feel triggered?

      WEARINESS When stress from adverse or challenging events in life occur continually, you can find yourself in a state of feeling emotionally worn out and drained. This is called emotional exhaustion. For most people, emotional exhaustion tends to build up slowly over time.

      I am glad your schools are flush with excess spending money, but that is not the situation here in CA.  Back in 1978 an Initiative and Referendum law was passed that limited property taxes severely and basically cut funding from Property Taxes to pennies of the amounts needed to even minimally fund school districts.  Even the U.S. Supreme Court which upheld the law on Federal and Constitutional grounds nevertheless wryly commented in its decision that the state electorate had lost its collective mind in enacting the law.  Our schools are funded through the State's General Fund which receives other tax sources for creating the entire state budget. The General Fund and the legislature try to give  adequate funding  to the primary and secondary school districts as well as college districts and other obligations all from the same limited funds. There are also strict limits on assessing property taxes that actually prevent them from paying for other services directly affecting property ownership which is their proper place, and so even property related services come from our General Fund. Your property tax money seems to be ear-marked for schools which is wonderful and I hope they use it according to your thoughts, but as said we have a different problem out here in CA.  I love my state but do recognize its short comings.  Point of information, the tax law that is creating problems came from the same small area of the state as the proposed referendum on Trans Youth.

      The numbers of those negatively affected are significant and discouraging, but the good news is that "over half" of Trans youth live in safe states, and such states do exist.

      Seems like a reasonable agreement.  Seattle stays out of Texas, Texas stays out of Seattle.  Weird that the Seattle hospital had a business license in Texas...

      Seems to me the time and cost is already being spent....on lawsuits.  And schools are absolutely flush with cash, at least around here.  They get enough property taxes, they need to learn appropriate use of funds.  Buy a few less computers and a few more bathrooms, and spend less time on athletics and I'd bet you a hamburger that the issue would be solved in a year.   To me, it seems like the whole bathroom thing is like lancing a boil or a cyst.  A sharp initial pain, and done. People are just resistant to doing it.      I think I could solve most of it...but politicians get too much press off of this to want it solved.   1.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private bathrooms 2.  Universal use of individual, gender-neutral, private spaces for changing athletic clothes 3.  Emphasize co-ed rather than gendered sports.  Focus on physical activity, good sportsmanship, and having FUN.  Lifelong enjoyment, not just competition. 4.  Ban for-profit athletic programs at highschool and college levels, and ban betting/gambling related to athletic programs at educational institutions. 5.  Affirm parental rights consistently, rather than treating it like a salad bar.  That means permitting gender-affirming healthcare with parental consent, AND prohibiting schools keeping secrets from parents.  Adopt the "paperwork principle."  If it is on paper, parents 100% have a right to know about it and be informed on paper, including names/pronouns if such are documented.  If it is verbal only, it is informal enough to be overlooked or discussed verbally if needed.
