Maternal instinct propagates disorder in the court by Nancy Koerner

In the treacherous ambiguity of domestic violence, it is an irrefutable fact that an abusive husband may be just the beginning. Although the legal system has made great strides over the years, there are still certain practices that allow for grave injustice. The oppression may be levied not only by the victim’s abuser, but also by an unenlightened judicial system with a subjective point-of-view.
Under the judicial microscope
Within the legal process, victimized women may be placed under a microscope wherein every action, facial expression, and verbal innuendo within the courtroom may be scrutinized and judged. These women have already been severely traumatized; they have fled their abusers under dire circumstances, and now the additional terror of being branded as an unfit mother hangs over their heads like a guillotine. The stakes are inconceivable. Considering the reality that their child could be temporarily, or permanently, taken away provokes unfathomable panic. In the grip of such fear, depression, and intense anxiety, the courts know it is quite likely she may behave erratically, thus jeopardizing her legal position. Of course. How could she not? Any woman who sees her child in danger, or realizes that he or she may be subjected to an abusive, uncertain, and motherless future has the potential to erupt. It is not about logic. Like a mother bear torn from her cub, it is maternal instinct to vehemently protect the young.
Abduction justified under human rights?
Sometimes child custody is awarded to the father even in cases where the child, like the mother, has been abused. Sooner or later, with nothing to lose and everything to gain, these women may find a way out, abducting the child against incredible odds. Child-snatching for the purpose of gaining legal jurisdictional advantage is a decision born of extreme desperation. But when any human being finds they are entirely deprived of any lawful means of reclaiming their basic human rights, are they not righteous? Can a moral person obey an immoral law their conscience tells them is unjust?


Erratic behaviour in the courtroom
Paralytic emotions can come into play within the courtroom. The child is terrified to be taken from his or her mother and sent back to the father. The mother is horrified to think that the child may be torn away from her, perhaps to another city or state with limited hopes of visitation and no recourse for the future. Is this substantial cause for erratic behavior, fear, anxiety, and despair in the courtroom? Absolutely. Are her emotions unrealistic? Does it mean she is unfit? Absolutely not.
Instinct, not rationale
It should be noted that one cannot look for logic in this scenario. There is no rationale in motherhood. It is instinct, pure and simple. It is the very nature of the beast. Should a woman, torn away from her cub be expected to behave in a logical manner? Ask the mother bear.

Positive power of pain prevents boiled-frog syndrome



It may seem elementary, but while our universal human instinct is to avoid pain, there is a miraculous purpose to suffering. Pain is the indication that is something wrong. It is a warning signal of escalating damage to the body, mind, and spirit.
Think about living a life without physical pain. It sounds like a gift, does it not? Quite the contrary. Pain is our natural alarm system; the lack of tactile sensation would be an unequivocal nightmare. (Read about a rare genetic disorder called CIPA, Congenital Insensitivity to Pain with Anhidrosis.) With no reaction to pressure, strike-force, or sharp implements, we would suffer extensive cuts, bruises, and broken bones, never realizing the extent of the damage until long after the fact. With no reflex reaction to heat, we would sustain ghastly burns; with the onset of infection, abscesses, or blood-poisoning, the only indication would be visual signs, or gangrene, long after the fact. Without pain, we would lack that vital forerunner signaling our brains of minor injuries, major trauma, or serious medical condition. With no escalating reaction, there is no incremental gauge, and therefore no ability to respond. 
And yet, with domestic violence, abuse victims may be punched, kicked, bruised, bludgeoned, strangled, shot, or stabbed and still remain in denial, their pain unrecognized, their injuries untreated. Emotional wounds are just as significant. Yet unspeakable mental anguish, separation anxiety, estrangement, disenchantment, isolation, panic, terror,and feelings of impending doom may be ignored for years on end. 
A pot of water boils on the stove. If a live frog is thrown into the pot, he jumps out instantaneously. But if the frog is placed in a pot of cold water which is heated gradually, the frog does not sense the change and slowly boils to death. As the toxicity of a relationship escalates, so does the accompanying pain. So why do we not react? The reason is simpler than some might realize. It is an incremental equation. A well-known cautionary tale demonstrates the phenomenon:
Although the story is biologically inaccurate, the metaphor clearly demonstrates the syndrome. Inaction, resulting from the inability to comprehend gradual but significant changes, can lead into a frightening and dangerous reality.
When it comes to domestic violence, the line between action and inaction is often blurred by the naïve desire to "keep the dream alive." This perverse mindset is born of denial -- the overwhelming refusal to recognize that a Cinderella-lifestyle has become a living nightmare. Life is not a fairy tale, and although some dreams may come true, happy endings are never guaranteed.
Step back from your life and take a new look, a conscious reassessment of your reality. If you wake up every morning living in tumultuous fear, hating your life, and wondering how you will survive another day, then please recognize that this is NOT life -- this is not living. Reevaluate your circumstances. Seek professional advice or the help of a friend. The lesson of the boiling frog is indisputable. If the pot of water is heating up all around you, the leap you take may save your life.

and on another note. . .

 I took a course in art last winter. I learnt the difference between a fine oil painting, and a mechanical thing, like a photograph. The photograph shows only the reality. The painting shows not only the reality, but the dream behind it. It's our dreams, doctor, that carry us on. They separate us from the beasts. I wouldn't want to go on living if I thought it was all just eating, and sleeping, and taking my clothes off, I mean putting them on...

Green Grass & High Tides by The Outlaws



Lyrics:
In a place you only dream of, where your soul is always free
Silver stages, golden curtains, filled my head plain as could be
As a rainbow grew around the sun, all my stars above, who died
Came from somewhere beyond the scene you see
These lovely people played just for me

Now if I let you see this place where stories all ring true
Will you let me past your face to see what's really you
It's not for me I ask this question as though I were a king
For you have to love, believe and feel
Before the burst of tambourines take you there

Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone, soul and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you

Those who don't believe me, find your souls and set them free
Those who do, believe and know that time will be your key
Time and time again I've thanked them for a peace of mind
That helped me find myself amongst the music and the rhyme
That enchants you there

Green grass and high tides forever
Castles of stone, soul and glory
Lost faces say we adore you
As kings and queens bow and play for you
Yeah they play just for you

Magical Mystery Tour-'The Fool on the Hill' [with lyrics]

They laugh at me for being different. I laugh at them for being all the same.
- - thanks for that T.M. perfecto



Day after day, alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still.
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool.
And he never gives an answer .....

But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down.
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning around.

Well on his way, his head in a cloud,
The man of a thousand voices, talking perfectly loud.
But nobody ever hears him,
Or the sound he appears to make.
And he never seems to notice .....

everybody's fighting for the promised land

Some men you just can't reach...

Water, the Great Mystery / Full Documentary (Greek subs)

water

more than just a physical substance .. a
concept connected with the idea of life

nothing in the world is softer and more yielding than water yet it wears down the hard and strong and none can overcome it though anyone can conquer it

that which is yielding conquers the strong and the soft overcomes that which is hard
everyone knows this but no one dares to live by it


Sparrow - Simon and Garfunkel - for my friend - i love you -



Uploaded by Plans4Nobody on Apr 26, 2009
Sparrow by Paul Simon and sung by Simon and Garfunkel...and, yes, I know, but golden wheat is hard to locate for filming in the spring : )

Sparrow

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Whos traveled far and cries for rest?
"Not I," said the Oak Tree,
"I wont share my branches with
no sparrows nest,
And my blanket of leaves wont warm
her cold breast."

Who will love a little Sparrow
And who will speak a kindly word?
"Not I," said the Swan,
"The entire idea is utterly absurd,
Id be laughed at and scorned if the
other Swans heard."

Who will take pity in his heart,
And who will feed a starving sparrow?
"Not I," said the Golden Wheat,
"I would if I could but I cannot I know,
I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

Who will love a little Sparrow?
Will no one write her eulogy?
"I will," said the Earth,
"For all Ive created returns unto me,
From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."

we can be kind only if the past no longer dominates us.

"We cannot be kind while we carry our resentments."
"Nor while we remain too rigid to ask forgiveness. Nor if our emotions are colored by guilt or vindictiveness."

to D.G. fr L.G.

below is a note among many pieces by author among many notable qualities D.G.
he entitled this "the Wasps"

We all hide, we all cry, we all try, try to say goodbye, we all laugh, laugh at this and at that, we all lie, lie about this and that. What's replacing her now, did ya find a change of pace? Something comes and everything goes, like water, water going,going down your throat, keep me in mind, will you, will you keep me in mind with the change? They may treat ya like desert, please see through it, like the bridge I once took ya over. Remember the opinion, the relief, the chemicals, chemicals that took your mind? I was there, was there to see the smile, the smile that took place of the frown of fear! I placed you in the exact right spot, your clothes were made out of wasps, you shook them off.

Harvey and I sit in the bars... have a drink or two... play the juke box. And soon the faces of all the other people they turn toward mine and they smile. And they're saying, "We don't know your name, mister, but you're a very nice fella." Harvey and I warm ourselves in all these golden moments. We've entered as strangers - soon we have friends. And they come over... and they sit with us... and they drink with us... and they talk to us. They tell about the big terrible things they've done and the big wonderful things they'll do. Their hopes, and their regrets, and their loves, and their hates. All very large, because nobody ever brings anything small into a bar. And then I introduce them to Harvey... and he's bigger and grander than anything they offer me. And when they leave, they leave impressed. The same people seldom come back; but that's envy, my dear. There's a little bit of envy in the best of us.

"well, i'm gonna finish the game" I shall finish the game, Doc.

William H. Bonney: You remember the stories John use to tell us about the the three chinamen playing Fantan? This guy runs up to them and says, “Hey, the world’s coming to an end!” and the first one says, “Well, I best go to the mission and pray,” and the second one says, “Well, hell, I’m gonna go and buy me a case of Mezcal and six whores,” and the third one says “Well, I’m gonna finish the game.” I shall finish the game, Doc. ~Young Guns II

I lifted my arms, and twirled around to the music. I didn't know what I was thinking, but something just took a hold of my body and told me to do it. Maybe it was the only way I knew to get rid of some of those emotions. Most of them I'd never felt before. And then Delvunita Maxwell was there. In my arms. I'll never know if she set me up, or if it just happened to play out the way it did. "Lets finish the game." What more could I do? He wouldn't let me go to Old Mexico. He was right. I could never stay there. I'd be just another old Gringo. "You remember somethin' Pat. You'll never be me. You'll only be the man that shot Billy the Kid. Hasta La Vista."

"Hasta La Vista. You crazy son of a bitch."
I was a hero.
I was a god.

I was courageous.
I was loyal.
I was Billy the Kid.



And I lived life with only one guarantee. I'll make ya famous.
