Welcome to my new page everyone, thank you for coming.
This page is all about Love. That is why I chose the music that is playing.
Which, you will find the name, artists name and his link
at the bottom of this page.
I sit here now listening to it and have no idea how this page is going to turn out.
I will let the music take me wherever it wants to take me, with the reason for the page,
in my heart and spirit.
Here we go. I am doing this page because I am not going to sit back and stay quiet any longer. Some of you will say, since when have you done that Bright? LOL Well, I have been
quiet for some time now. This is the first page of this nature in over three years.
I took some much needed time for me, to heal some things, grow, change, and figure out some lessons. And a lot of letting go of certain things in my life.
And with all of that, my vision and sight is much sharper than before. I dont have as much
iniside me clouding that any longer. Of course there are some things I may be blind to,
or I may appear that I am....*chuckling* well, don't let that fool you. I may seem as though
I am not seeing something, but you can be sure that most of the time I do.
I just may not be saying anything yet. I will always give one tons of rope to hang themselves.
Or to get honest first. Which is what I do prefer.
As I said this page is all about Illusions. But underneath it's about Love. I love life.
My passion is for life. If anyone were to ask me, Bright? What are you about in one word?
Passion! I am passion. And my passion is Life! And its all because of the heart I have.
I love. I love life, I care about life and all that entails. Some of you will say, "then how can
you be so harsh and seemingly mean. *S* The answer is simple. Because I do care.
Caring is not about going there there you poor dear and validating all the negatives,
that many wish to hold onto for dear life, as if it were a life jacket. It would be more of a
straightjacket actually. I love life and all in it enough to speak truth, THE truth. Not
what you want to hear. That would be doing everyone and everything a dis-service.
And certainly would be totally out of charachter for me and would contradict all that
I do stand for. And I won't stand for that! I will never stand for anything that goes against
the Laws of Creator and Nature. Anything else can go pffffffffft! No matter the consequences
of taking such a stand. Even if it loses a love, a friend or my life for that matter.
What is my life worth if I go against what I was put here to do? Nothing.
“If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, I will answer you:
"I am here to live out loud”.....Emile Zola quotes (French Novelist, Critic and Activist. 1840-1902
This page is a prelude to many that will follow regarding the Children, the Earth, and
Human Rights. This page is going to touch on all of that, like an outline of what is to come.
I have to tell you, I am sad and angry at the same time. Many tears are flowing out of me
these days with all that I see going on still today! There is NO excuse for any of
the garbage that is going on. NONE! Nor will I accept the many excuses. Lets look at one
that really chaps my hide to no end. The homeless and the hungry. Heck, Child abuse,
that one really gets my blood boiling. This page could stretch out around the world
many times before I will ever be through talking about all of this. And I will not stop until
YOU STOP! and look and see what needs to be done and put a stop to all of these
things. You know what really makes me sick, is that a page of this nature is even
necessary! What kind of nonsense is that I ask? Why am I having to sit here and plead
for anyone to come to the aid of their fellow man? We are all related. Don't you feel
the pain that your brothers and sisters are in? How can you NOT!?, is my question?
How can so many of you just sit there and turn such a blind eye to all of this? HOW?
Yes I am starting to get mad now *S* GOOD! Thats when I really do come alive. LOL
I was in a chat room one day, and this woman said to me, "Well, there is not much I can do about it, I will leave that up to my children to handle this mess, they are younger."
Now that is exactly what I am talking about. What a rich statement that is right there.
Which many of you have the same attitude. Why should our children clean up the mess
that we made? How is it their job? No wonder they hate us so much, and have no respect
for much. And its because they see how much most do not care, and they are bitter and
scared. Walking around with no faith or trust in much of anything, and it comes out
in very angry frustrated forms. And how many of you sit there and say "I dont understand
these kids today. How ungreatful they are. They have more than I ever had." On and
on..... yawwwwwwn. So then you continue to mistreat them, take them
to some head shrinka to make sense out of all of this and have them be filled with all the
many wondah drugs out there to make them walk around calm and placid so that you
are no longer bothered by their much warrented outbursts. And you wonder why I get
mean, harsh and angry? Surely your in a fog somewhere inside your head.
Many of you are more worried about what's happening with your soap opera's than
what's going on in the world around you. What is interesting is that there are more of me than the ones that are working so hard to tear it all down. The problem is not the
perpetrators, the real culprits are the very ones that sit back and turn the blind eye
and do nothing at all. And complain about the problems going on. And I sit here
shaking my head because of the ignorance of that. How many sit there in front of the
instant lobotomy tube and say, "Martha can you believe what a mess the world is in?"
And that is as far as it goes. You sit there and not do one thing about it. And if pressed
you will say, "It is too late, let the kids handle this mess, I am tired, or you can't
change the world kiddo, may as well just roll with it all."
Roll with it huh? Too late? Can't change the world? WOW. And these people claim
intelligence and say they do care, honest they do in their pleadings.
You know, if we all were to buy into that lie, nothing at all would ever get done and
people like me would have no reason to be here at all. And people wonder why I say
too bad ignorance isn't painful. Yes I do say that. I even have a button that says it, that I wear.
This is the kind of thing I am talking about. That kind of attitude is what the problem is.
Not the people that are actually making the many messes. I hear all the time, "Well
gee I don't have time. I don't have that kind of money. I don't know how to write like
you do, I am not an artist." And a million other excuses not to do. You don't need money
nor do you have to know how to write or be an artist. Heck, I can't write, I just follow
my heart. And whatever comes out, comes out, and I don't care how it comes out either.
I know many writers whose skills with writing sure tops mine, you don't see me asking
them if they can edit my pages for me, or is this page ok to you? What you see is what
you get. And about the I don't have time excuse. What will you all do when there is no
time left? What will you say to the earth, the children, the animals and its people then?
What will you say to yourself? When it becomes too late? Sorry? Sorry won't cut it then.
Or, shoot me I'm not perfect and make mistakes? That worn out tired excuse that many
again use for not doing. Or, my other favorite, "I'm doing the best I can." As they sit in front of the instant lobotomy tube. Or in front of the computer wasting time with this that or
the other nonsense of the day. I go to chatrooms and watch the people and what they
talk about, interests, etc. And I am floored. Its usually some gossip, or it always gets
turned around to sex in some form. Then if I toss out some quip, or start talking about
things like, child abuse or what the government is doing to mess with us more and more,
I get, "Hey, I came here to have fun, can you lighten up? or "Like this is the place to
solve these problems." hahahaha And they leave because I don't shut up. Nor will I.
What better place than a chat room full of relatives that, certainly one would think has a
vested interest in all of this. I guess it does not pay to think sometimes, eh. Because more
than not, I am the minority. Which stands to reason, if I was part of the majority, we would
not be having pages of this nature. We would not need to.
If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself
such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way.”
By Emile Zola
Here are some truths for you.
We have children who are starving right this second, a child just died of hunger, right this
second a child was beaten to death, right this second a child was molested, right this
second a child is being told it is not worth living, and that they are worthless. Right this
second someone is getting murdered, beaten and told the same things. Right this second
someone is dying of hunger or just did. Right this second, someone is killing an animal just
for sport or abusing their own so called loved pet. Right this second, we are losing all of our trees
for greed and money. Right this second we are sitting in a world full of disgusting
pollution. Right this second, our water, air and earth are not fit for human consumption.
Right this second, the Polar Ice Caps are melting at an alarming rate. Right this second,
our oceans are warming and causing many animals in them to wash ashore dead. Right
this second because of all the pollution we are suffering from what is called Global
Warming. Right this second, the Government is coming up with another idea to undermine
cheat us in some way, lie to us in some way and abuse and use us in some way. Right this
second one of our own is getting shot, killed or crippled up in some foreign country, all in
the name of peace! Right this second you are sitting there doing nothing about this
and thinking that I am over the top, out of control and totally nuts. When right this
second you could be thinking of ways to stop all of this and what part you can take in it.
Right this second you could be writing letters to whomever you have to, to make this
stop. Right this second you could be making a phone call to someone who can do
something and who will listen. Right this second you could realize that there is so much
we can all do together and that there IS strength in numbers. Right this second you could
realize that NO WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE or let all of this happen.
Knowing all of this, how can any of you say to me, I don't have time. Roll with it, there is
nothing that can be done!?!?!?!? Let the children fix all of this? They sure have some
great role models don't they? As they watch you all sit around doing nothing, yet you
can have the gall to say to them to do it? Walk your own talk. Get up and do your part.
When there is no excuse whatsoever for anyone, in such a world as ours to ever ever
know a hungry or homeless day. How is it that children are being so abused? How is it
that we have allowed this to happen? How can we look ourselves in the mirror knowing
this fact. Because there is not one thing I have stretched here. Nothing. Its all truth.
Sadly so. And you want me to shut up? Go away and not bother you? LOL Think again.
I will be your worst nightmare until I see change. When I see that a child is allowed to
flourish as they were intended to do, then I will shut up. When I don't see another hungry
or homeless person. I will shut up. When I see this Earth in a state of healing and the life
on it, then, and only then will I shut up. I will continue until the very day that I die, and
beyond. I will continue to instill in others that come to me for any kind of help to do
as I do too. And I will continue to make pages such as this and who knows. I just may
write some over the top book. I will do whatever it takes to get YOUR ATTENTION!
Those of you who are reading this, that this does not apply to, and yes there are many in
my circle of friends who are walking with me in all of this, I am sure you have not taken
offense. And for those of you who are taking offense, good. I will not say that I am
sorry at all. What I am sorry about is what I see going on. And that there are pages
like this. How sad in such a world full of riches that we are having to deal with all of this.
There is a song below that I chose for this page. It was written in 1990, over 20 years
ago, by Dan Folgelberg. A fellow Native American, and activist. I found the song most
fitting for this page. Blind to the Truth. And what is interesting, he is talking about all
the things then as we are faced with now. And still no change. How sad.
By the way, there is a word in the song, some of you may not like. dont worry, it's only
a word. I am sure that Creator is not getting all ruffled about it. *~
Thank you all for coming. I appreciate that you do. And that you have at least heard me
out. I pray that I gave you much to think about and that you all do something about all of
this. I am but a messenger in this life. Those that are meant to "hear" me will. And those
that are not, won't. It is not my business. All I am to do is deliver the message. The
outcome is not my business at all. I will leave that to Creator's capable hands.
If there are any type ohhhhs I missed, fogive me. LOL Besides I am famous for them.
Remember, no matter what. I do love you all. I love all of life. And I care. I care enough
to tell any of you what I see going on. I come straight from my heart and spirit in all that I do.
The Heart and Spirit of a Native American, because I am.
Always,

BLIND TO THE TRUTH
In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away
From the crisis we’ve created with our self-indulgent ways
Living like there’s no tomorrow, well that just might be the case
Now they’re tearing down the forests and the jungles of brazil
Without a second thought about the species that they kill
But extinction is forever and still the forests fall
And push it ever closer to extinction for us all
But you’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
And you can’t see nothing
Cause you’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
And the judgment day is coming
Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news
Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use
The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar
They don’t care what they make next month just as long as it is more
They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall
Just so they can build another goddamn shopping mall
And it doesn’t seem to matter if they cannot see the stars
As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars
They’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
No they can’t see nothing
They’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
But the judgment day is coming
Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air
The sky is ripping open and you still don’t seem to care
The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide
The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide
Now there’s laws that we must live by and they’re not the laws of man
Can’t you see the shadow that moves across this land
The future is upon us and there’s so much we must do
And you know I can’t ignore it and my friend neither can you
Unless you’re blind to the truth, blind to the truth
And you can’t see nothing
You’re so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
But the judgment day is coming
