The simple pleasures...
What else is there really?

We all know that life can be, at its core, so so simple.

How is it then that we allow it to become so overwhelming, stressful, unintellegable,...no, worse yet, to even mistrust it (Life or Nature) as being unnatural, unhealthy, alien and all too often predictably dangerous? How to return or forward-escape into harmony with each other and this precious Earth again or anew? Can you see a really positive future and if so a clear way to get there for all 6+ billion of us?

Sure, there are many ways to approach thinking about and trying to transform a cycle of disfunction (like our relations to each other as world citizens) or dystopian break-down (like our relationship as humanity to the Earth we depend upon) into a break-through or postive evolutionary bottleneck successfully navigated.

Here's one of the ideas closest to my, not wholy rational, hope for twarting the impending and tragically unnecessary negitive future who's ominous shadow, cast backwards in time, has been progressively darkening the social, economic, ecological and political landscape and discourse for decades now. One of the very few vectors for transformational genisis to manifest, a point of sufficient and causative potential to redeeme this fall into profane history, to transform this nightmare of modernity into merely a stressful and strange evolutionary passage, is the awakening, empowering and (re)emergence of the feminine in all people and every aspect of human life.

For both the journey and the "destination" (my vision is very utopian,....yours?) of mankind to be a postive experience for all, as the most brilliant, inspired and far-seeing among us have always intuited and communicated it can be, women specifically, as the first wave or "point of power" in an evolution-revolution, which ultimately will touch and transform all people regardless of gender or any other difference, must re-awaken to much, now lacking, power and wisdom (most often unique or uniquely accessable to their gender). They must identify their power as a collective "group" to organize their transformational force and notice that, as a collective, they need not wait or ask permission any more of any of the crumbling artifices of the soon-to-be late patriarchy. Every aspect of suffereing humanity begs the rebalancing geniuses and empowering effect of the feminine returning to the politics of partnering, child bearing, conscious parenting, right livelihood, community building, world ecology and economics....etc.

The "men" or the power that we attribute to the last many thousand years of principally male powers (scientific materialism, reductionist thought, dominator ecology policy, win-loose economic strategy, etc.) holding sway, has had its time. Its gifts, and many there are, are as obvious but not outweighed by its auto-toxic effects in absence of a balancing force of the feminine.

This is the conversation that can bring me to the edge of my seat nowadays. Where is the dialogue (the call for the re-emergence of Yin in this Yang-run-wild world) most active? Dasha and I spent an interesting drive with 2 Polish film makers talking about just this theme the other day. We were on a journey to the Czech boarder so I could walk out and back into Poland with renewed permission to stay for 3 months (again a brilliant example of uniquely male, left(hair!)-brained thinking at its best). I asked these media professionals: "Where are the Utpoian films?", "...furthermore, where are the films where women/the feminine rise up and make a massive difference, reversing, with bravest manifestation of non-violent of absolutely unstoppable autonomous power, the negitive plot-line of the 20th century?"

This all led to a very spirited conversation about the distinct absence of these kinds of films and they were asking why I thought this was such a frightening fact and I tried to explain to them that I don't believe that we can live into (or create) any reality we are not capable of envisioning. So, if the artists (especially in the more popular visionary mediums of fiction film and documentary) are not bearing witness to the vision or longing or even possibility of bright futures, then how likely is it that the, most often much more asleep, masses of humanity are going to be feeling the hope or power to move in such a positive direction?
