Loving, here: I DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE. Status Report 040412


I don't know where we are in the war (of a pitiful few of us) against Plan A-rmageddon.  Do you?  


My brain can't begin to accept that I don't know, and that tomorrow I won't know, and the next day....  Oh sure, I have a hunch.  A hunch?  When the fate of all creation hangs in the balance?!??!?

Throughout my adulthood I've found that Vision is Everything.  This is another way of saying what Dr. King (God rest his Soul, this the day, April 4, of his murder) held central to his work - creating and maintaining 'Creative Tension' - the condition that is the maximum release of Creative human energy - 1. Seeing the horror of a current situation, 2. Seeing the distinct possibility of a different, much better future.  Maybe 90% of whatever impact I've had on organizations throughout my adulthood has been, first within myself, and then spreading to others, immense Creative Tension - True Vision of the impending Horror; and True Vision of a way out - a hugely brighter future.

TO MY HORROR, I find A. zero place on earth, be it individual or organization that Has a Current Vision of Either!  and B.  NO ONE THAT CARES TO EVEN SPEAK OF, LET ALONE REMEDY THE SITUATION!!!!!!!

So far, I don't know how not to make this my #1 priority, filling this deadly void.

A month ago I had 2 priorities and the probably unrealistic notion I could pursue, effectively, both - A.  Filling the void of Vision, Creative Tension, I've just outlined, and B. Placing and keeping the 'Voice' of informed, active youth in front of the White House.  :-)  Sometimes it is hard for me not to believe that there is a Sentient God that intervenes.  I'm thinking of the series of hurdles, obstacles, to the - in front of the White House part.  Massive difficulties in getting the batteries that could do this.  Unforseen termination of my wifi, that would have anabled me to stay productive there, the financial weapon of mass destruction that represented to my ability to afford the batteries....  Oh my.

Well, my point - my number 1 priority is now assembling, if only for myself, that I can be a responsible brother, the Vision of Truly, where are we, and where can we go? Underway here - Tracking Plan B - Unviolent War Room.   1/3 at least of the hugely fertile time to be in front of the WH, for the Kids, on their spring bus tours, is gone now.  My appreciation for the desperate need for someone to assemble and maintain the Vision I've discussed here, and the massive undertaking of maintaining it, has become clearer for me in these weeks.

So, there are two things I desperately want to do, but I, today, have a clearer sense of priority - Vision is Everything; Vision is #1.
