Our health is our freedom to live to the highest calling we wish to meet. Infinite Power for all of us is probably a stretch but I feel I must begin by explaining what that is.
What it is not, is the freedom for the arms industry to make a profit by investing in war for the sake of profit. It is not colonial power that arrives in other countries claiming they have discovered a new uninhabited land then organizes a cruel and sadistic way to remove the people who have been here for many centuries.
As a writer of very little fame, my words, poems and books do not make me an influencer by any measure. However there are things I can do. Like talk, read and write. I have this blog to air my thoughts as well as others who agree to having their work printed here.
If you would like to engage in this conversation please email janetvickers@gmail.com. I know there are many blogs and publications now, but I am interested in seeing our concerns, thoughts and actions aired.
I don't want a list of all that is wrong. I have done that in many posts. I also understand that media has money behind it which I doubt would be interested in publishing thoughts from unknown writers on Health and Freedom.
Since I only have this life to live I choose to do what I can with it.
The poems in this book is not what I want to sell. I want to sell you on your imagination and wisdom of how we can collectively move towards a preferred future using your best ideas.
Positive thinking can create new positive ideas. For example look at the number of people who write about creative worlds, who attend schools that teach medicine, political science, art and music. We invest in these and yet 500 years ago it was not on our radar that education would help us build a better society. Positive thinking doesn't create better societies, humans by their work and thoughts understand that our future depends on just societies.
