Memoirs of an old woman or Youngun can I tell you something (Short Story) - 3/26/2008 4:11:08 AM
Believe it or not, but I grew up in a town where colored people of all hues were common as fog under our orange bridge.
Our school hadn't segregation and Tom Sawyer and Uncle Tom were folklore that mean nothing but youth amusement.
Black kids talking to white girls weren't linched, nor white kids talking to latinas were stabbed by latinos gangs (we had no gangs either) and the general consensus was to go truant in block to bathe in the warm bay waters.
Then..somewhat all changed, rightwing christian fanatics started to talk about the inferiority of the black race, the laziness of latinos, the lack of moral of the flower-power-children, the curse of God on the gay generation, Bobby going down, Dr King going down, lies coming up, lies killing honest men and women in uniform...and the last but not the least...our complete lost of innocence.
You and me should go back to the bay warm waters and take a deep again, to tell the world that not ALL innocence is dead.
Georg
Memoirs of an old woman or Youngun can I tell you something (Short Story) - 3/25/2008 2:51:03 PM
Wow, I would like to spend a year in your head, then I'd write it all down and publish. Then we could both be on Oprah. I remember some of those things...though we didn't have Blacks in our town, or if we did, I never saw any until I was an adult. That was after Martin Luther King. I do remember discrimination from my grandfather because my mother married a man with Cherokee ancestry. I was too young at the time he was alive to understand his hatred or his remarks. In the work force, it was a mini-united nations, all colors all sizes so that is normal to me and as it should be. One nation. Dating and friendships was another experience with the mini-United Nations. My sympathies for your pain, but the richness of your life as you chose to live it on your terms is remarkable. Proud to call you friend. Now...can I live in your head for a year?
Love,
Elizabeth
On Meeting Dr. Thelma (Short Story) - 9/13/2006 8:42:37 AM
Excellent story, Mikii; very well done!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your Texas friend, Karen Lynn. :D
On Meeting Dr. Thelma (Short Story) - 9/11/2006 3:09:12 PM
Good stories. Reminds me of the one about a girlfriend of mine who was married to a verbally abuse jerk. I told her she should kill him and bury him in the back yard, after another of one of her horror stories. I'd said it so often, that I had to remind everyone if he came up missing not to go near her back yard. (Unfortunately, he's still alive.)
Another friend's husband was involved with a younger woman. I suggested that she send flowers to herself every week with no card saying who they were from. Drove the old boy crazy. I sent her a single rose with a card that said "Let me know when you divorce the old goat." He dropped the girlfriend and started paying more attention to his wife.
Laughter is good for the soul.

When You Wake Up a Woman (Short Story) - 9/10/2006 2:20:24 PM
What a beautiful story. It reminded me of one of my foster mothers. Let me correct that, my FAVORITE foster mother. Mrs. Miller. She was a big hearted black woman with a sense of humor and humility as big as her heart. I loved that woman. She made that 16 year old white lost child believe that love was not just a word. Thank you for tweeking that memory.
When You Wake Up a Woman (Short Story) - 7/3/2006 4:43:39 AM
Your Auntie has raised an angel, and you are the angel. That's why she had the happy tear in her eyes.

The Ideal and The Reality, Is The Future Really The Future (Article) - 8/24/2013 2:41:49 PM
Humans are a product of their own environment. It is so easy to be sweet, generous and tolerant when living in an ideal situation. I often observe the seemingly rich of society and wonder what kind of character would emerge if stripped of all they have.
A wonderful, insightful write!
With respect and smiles,

I Don't Want a Man Who Fears Women (Article) - 7/14/2007 8:33:52 PM
Many fine points to be read here Miiki!
A well written, informative, and highly enlightening essay. Luckily, women were not held responsible for what did happen in the Garden of Eden (as written) being that the man was the head. Wholeheartedly I agree most definately with your introducton also, hopefully some day men wil once again be the Man they were created to be and pushing a woman in and to the background to stay shushed will be a thing of the past. Futhermore, it is something to be desired to look upon as a non gender God, great eye opener!
Blessings and take care,
From the Heart we are all united Through Love

Why Jesus was killed martydom as a catalyst for social/spiritual reform (Article) - 9/27/2006 3:24:55 PM
Amazing isn't it, as how broadminded Jesus was, how forgiving and how non-judgemental He was, and yet those who beat their chests in Christianity, have so little of the attributes He espoused. He was also a revolutionary.
Good article Mikii.

Choices Mankind or Virus Plan "A" (Article) - 9/17/2006 7:23:25 PM
I think you've hit the nail square on the head. There is no vision or planning, and too much is "me and now." It will take some rare individuals with insight and wisdom to see beyond 'now'. So far, that wisdom and insight isn't showing in this next generation. Not surprising when you see who their role models are.
As to those 'viruses'...masquerating as 'wholesomeness' and 'godliness'? Bring your lunch and we'll talk. (smiles)
Good article.
Elizabeth
Choices Mankind or Virus Plan "A" (Article) - 7/30/2006 10:29:19 AM
I agree with Elizabeth, Mikii. Good article. With well over six billion inhabitants in the world, we are reaching critical mass in many areas and the earth can no longer heal itself as a result of human activity. The window for making good choices is quickly closing.

Choices Mankind or Virus Plan "A" (Article) - 7/28/2006 5:06:52 PM
I sometimes wonder if it isn't too late to mutate to something good. One has to know the difference, and I don't see that "knowing" these days, and that comment after 40 years of counseling others.
Then again, I think of Plato and his concern about the youth of his day. Nothing changes, we just get older and we are tired of hearing the "same old, same old." I guess if we just shovel out our own corner and make it the best it can be...and if all would do this...it would be a good world.
Survival? I don't think there are many that could survive without a great deal of help and handouts hand over fist. Katrina was a test site, and so was WTC.
Personally, I wish they'd just shut down the news.
Good article, Mikii.
I like your thinking world.
Best,
Elizabeth
A Spiritual Journey My Creed Discovered (Article) - 7/17/2006 9:27:41 AM
I agree with Elizabeth, Mikii. This is a good article. You can throw out a very large (I mean VERY large) portion of what passes for religion today and be closer to a wholesomeness of person and a cleanliness of character that is what you and I want as friends and neighbors (and relatives). I think you're on the right track. All the best and a big hug,
Leland
A Spiritual Journey My Creed Discovered (Article) - 7/16/2006 6:16:05 AM
Good article, Mikii. In my religious abuse counseling, one of the most difficult things to help people overcome is that Jesus' message is a good one, and the "corrupt messenger" has nothing to do with God, though they act like God and insist they speak for God. The sexual abuse is especially horrific and the threat of suicide is carried lifelong by the damaged. Religious abuse goes to the very core of a soul and the damage is never really overcome, and it is rampant.
Jesus had compassion, understanding, love. You don't find that with bible thumpers who interpret the Infinite with literal finite eyes and who continually see devils. It is the worst crime against spirituality and the growth of the soul there is, and right up there with Islam for stupidity. Fundamentalist "McCarthism" is at work with these "messengers." God is having a heart attack at the things done in His name.

Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/21/2006 2:05:41 PM
We have allowed it to happen. I used to work at the voting booths in three states. If lucky, 20% of the voting population bother to vote. We have in office, what we have worked very hard for...shows in the lack of integrity of our politicians...absolutely nothing. Now we have the religious right parading their biased and supposed moralistic values in front of everyone as truth, waving their flag of righteousness, when righteousness is the last thing they realy advocate, or any sense of fair play.
A better way? If only our politicians would admit thier mistakes or lack of action without their fear of being "polically correct" or endless committees telling them yet again...stall and do nothing which seems to be the status quo.
Do you suppose we are becoming cynical in our old age? ROFL
A very good article.
Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/16/2006 2:26:50 PM
I don't think its so much a conspiracy as it is a consensus, of contempt, for the American People.
Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/16/2006 7:54:39 AM
"Conspiracy Generated Paranoia" flows from the lake of awareness to generate energy to the lamp of JUSTICE.
This is a responsible call to the building of A COUNTRY UNDER THE LAW with OFFICERS OBEYING THE LAW and standing for JUSTICE.

Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/16/2006 6:21:23 AM
Yes, look at what we've done to ourselves. Will Rogers once said, "Stupidity got us into this mess, stupidity can get us out." If that was only true, Mikii, we'd have a super surplus of resources for the job. Great article. I bet you get a lot of flack for writing it. Chin up.
Love,
Leland

Hello American Pie (Article) - 1/7/2006 7:13:51 AM
Strong points that the government refuses to hear. We put out other fires in places that are destined to burn themselves down like a rampaging field fire. . . What amazes me is how the WORLD has seen us. A friend in Tanzania (also here at authors den --Sandie Mushi) said she could not believe the aftermath of Katrina and how AMERICA rejected its own.
Poet Mikii, no truer words have you written here. We need to learn to become a nation that is part of, as the Louisville Arts Council noted in their 2004 National Arts Summit, a One World House to protect, not disrespect, each other.
many blessin's,
cynth'ya lewis reed
Hello American Pie (Article) - 9/8/2005 12:01:32 AM
Intelligent well researched article. America has allowed it's self to be lulled into a false sense of reality. There are many good and caring people from all walks of life but we can't pretend or overlook the fact that there are people and institutions that would like the poor, indigent, disabled and minorities to just go away. God Bless!
Hello American Pie (Article) - 9/7/2005 8:08:50 PM
Beautiful article. ~ We have seen the faces of the expendable in America.~ These people are not expendable to all of us. Today, I met some of the first to arrive in my city. Hugs were all I had to deliver at the time, but I got the feeling they meant almost as much as the other necessities they had come to pick up. I hope, as we try to get the material goods to these people, we also remember the smiles, hugs, votes... the other things they need to recover their lives.

Government (Poetry) - 9/13/2014 9:21:59 AM
Most politicians have good intentions when they start out, but the whole damn system corrupts them, especially when they have to beg for money. When it comes in a big way, that's what they end up paying attention to.

I am Mother Earth (Poetry) - 2/15/2010 9:53:11 AM
So true and so clearly expressed feelings. Mother Earth asks Man: What have I done wrong when you attack me with all types of weapons from iron age spears to modern technology weaponry. Unfortunately man has no answer for that question and he can never and shall never have one until he scratches greed from his mind, which he cannot for some obvious reasons. Thanks dear Mikii, I missed you so much. My best reagards to Baba.

I am Mother Earth (Poetry) - 2/14/2010 5:25:21 AM
I don't know how I missed your poem, but I am so glad that I found it. Mikii, you have said so much here. Mother Earth is very angry with us. I am writing a Native American Series and my main character is always trying to tell the "white" man to stop abusing the Earth. USA would have been better off had not the English invaded this land in so many more ways than one.
Yes heaving is very much Mother Earth's way of ridding the world of "humans"..Let us wake up before it is too late!
Much peace, love, and light,

Sleepwalking In A Mindfield (Poetry) - 10/18/2009 3:24:31 AM
In Nam I had a few buddies of black persuasion by color not by attitude, cos, we were in the same boat and you don't rock the boat if you don't know how to swim in waters infested with hungry alligators.
Read, see in the news reels but never encountered with a "brother" with a chip on his shoulder. Maybe the soldiers in Nam were bend on making hell and didn't have no penchant for that KKK crap, cos the black were bleeding the same stuff at the whites, and yellows and reds and...capice?

Sleepwalking In A Mindfield (Poetry) - 10/17/2009 9:29:55 PM
A STRONG POEM, WITH PHRASES THAT DEMAND THAT ONE OPEN UP THEIR MIND AND UNDERSTAND THAT...THE ONLY ANSWER...IS GOD'S WAY. IF ONE FOLLOWS THE PATH HE SET FOR US TO TAKE...IF ONE FOLLOWS THE MAP OF HIS WORD...ONE NEED NOT WORRY. GOD ASKS A QUESTION '...KNOW IT NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST...?' WHEN WE REFUSE TO DO AS HE SAYS DO...THEN WE LEAVE OURSELVES OPEN FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. I SUGGEST THAT WE ARE WIDE AWAKE...DOING EXACTLY AS WE WANT TO DO, WITH WHOMEVER WE WANT TO DO IT WITH...I SUGGEST WE WAKE UP. I CAN SAY THIS BECAUSE I ONCE WAS ASLEEP...I ONCE WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE!
INTERESTING AND COMMANDING WORK THAT WAS THOROUGHLY ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS YOU AND....A BELATED CONGRATULATIONS, TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND, ON 53 YEARS OF MARRIAGE...NOW THAT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT...A BLESSING INDEED! JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Mikii this is well written and needed to be said a long time ago. Now that the world has gone to hell in a handbasket as my dear father would say, everyone is upset. Where was the rage when it all started, when it could have been fixed easily? I fear we have become a nation of blind fools by choice.

The light of Myth (Poetry) - 4/7/2009 12:19:05 PM
Mikii, welcome back!!!
Myth, so many of them we have been serving in the past, so many are being dished today, and you won't believe which ones they will be served in the future.
Why? Because we are a humanity that wants myths, craves for myths, a humanity that put people in pedestals, and then, eats them.

Hello Mikii! long time no see, hope your health as impruved so much that we can give Lambada a good try.
Congratulations also for what Mrs Rosa Park started, breaking that odious mold, will crystalize when everyone says Mister President Barak Obama and spare us that "the first black President". He ain't no black, no yellow or blue, he is an American, period, because I never heard anyone say Mister white President so and so.
I think, America has a few steps yet to come clean.

Mikii, why saying 50 years seems shorter than half a century? then again, you had from the begining the most deep and strong of fundament to build over a 52 story high life building.
To me, you are a Queen and the man besides you must feel like a King, because he got you.

Ain't no telling (Poetry) - 4/10/2008 8:40:51 PM
I so agree with what you said in so much of this. It is a pity that in this day and age that people put things before people- they spend, spend, spend, on clothes with labels and expensive things they can't afford and put on credit cards, then complain about the economy and their lack of money-they throw money at problems, have children that are like accessories who they want to make sure get everything they want, when what they really want and need is their parents time, but oh no, the parents both have to work like slaves to pay for the things the children need, round and round they go, chasing their tails, all for an ugly pocketbook with some rich fat cats designer logo on it while someone somewhere is going to the food pantry for their next meal- I know, I have been and still am, one of those people, disabled and wondering why people think objects mean more than people and the spirit. In the words of George Michael, "He must've let us all out to play, turned His back, and all God's children, crept out the back door." Bless you for writing this-oh, and for mentioning Bessie, not enough people know about her these days :) Michelle xxx

Not "maybe" or "just" or "only" a writer, but you are a writer. Call it a blessing or call it a curse and you do the craft of writing quite well. May the 'addiction' continue to bless you.

Only a writer? you are more than that, you are soul, words from your heart are like fireflies on summer nights, you whisper like that garrulous Mississippi hurrying from the north towards the happy sounds of New Orleans Mardi Grass, and your smiles are reflection of the happy smiles that filled Tom Sawyer with peace but, that fimly, sent Rhett Butler away.

Promise Is (Poetry) - 4/1/2008 8:44:20 PM
You are soooo right, loved this, excellent poem- my best friend, who is white, has dreadlocks, and you would NOT believe what some adults say to her, (an adult version of teasing), you would think she was from outer space or something with the looks she gets and I always wonder how people become so small-minded and sad. I think it is great what you are doing by writing this for JaSira's daughter. Blessings to you, Michelle xxxxxxxxx
