Wonder Pets!
Wonder Pets!
We're on our way
To help a friend
And save the day
We're not too big
And we're not too tough
But when we work together
We've got the right stuff
Go, Wonder Pets, ya'ay!

Marsha, Chris (I hear your call!)(also Chris
mentioned below), I'm half-way through
reading this article. I have been feeling a
sense of urgency, especially recently, to get
this project I've been working on done. It was
done, but in preliminary efforts to see how
others would view this project of mine, I
discovered I assumed too much and I have these
gaps to fill to better explain what I'm talking
about in this project. I've been working on it
late into the night, and it is getting better
and better. I've always been a late bloomer. I
remember playing baseball and not doing very
well, in fact, superb until late in the game or
season. I also make up my mind later than what
it seems other people are doing and deciding,
but I keep holding out for not just
anything. I'm holding out, each time, for what
is me. It's been very hard as I've grown up in
this culture to find exactly those activities
that are me in which I can allow my dreams to
not want to escape from. To do an activity that
my heart is in. I just hope I'm not too late in
this social contribution that I finally figured
out will help me express what's been on my mind
and in my heart deep down. I think it's worth
it, not just for me, but for others to hear what
I have to say. I'm going to finish this
article. It is quite interesting, and certainly
fits the time, thus far (re: only read part of
it as I said). Have you ever come across this
book: "The Fourth Turning"
http://www.fourthturning.com/ Listen
everybody! I haven't read the book, but this
historian has found a rhythm in this U.S.
culture and the two authors say European and
Chinese cultures are falling into this same
rhythm as well, it would seem. They are NOT
deterministic, but they have found a
pattern. It is a seasonal pattern, thus, a
pattern based on four. This pattern has
occurred in this U.S. culture since it's
establishment and it stretches back into the
Anglo-Saxon rhythm that established the European
settlements on this North American continent
before the American Revolution. It is very
interesting. It is about generations and how
each generation plays out in a different
temperament. The differing temperaments are in
one part due to the preceding generation and
their temperament and how they then treat their
children, which then has those children grow-up
differently. Generation X, according to the
patterns that these authors speak of, it's
time. It's time to step up. It's time for the
crisis is coming and we work best in crisis. We
are the pessimistic generation and we went out
on our own ways pickering about this
culture. We are seen as the slackers, but we
slack because we have known for a long time that
this culture is not something to go full head of
steam into and want to fully put our hearts
in. This is about change, and now that we've
gone out on our very individually inclined paths
slacking we discovered something, and for me,
what I discovered is I can't escape this
culture. It's strangled hold is far
reaching. So, we need to push this change that
is coming. We have been the risk takers and I
think, as a generation, we know what to do in
danger and in crisis. We've cultivated crisis
in our slacking. We've gone against the grain
in our slacking trying to figure out what new
solution, what new culture we can come up
with. We haven't allowed ourselves to get too
seeped into this culture by slacking. It's
passive resistance, but now we've realized
enough that there are other choices. In our
slacking we've been able to hold onto our
dreams, but it has been tough. Very tough. It
has threatened our sanity numerous times, and we
still feel this deep grunge. We've dressed
sloppy on purpose, with hair all over the place,
we are messy, we are the grunge. It fits
perfectly. How will we step it up? Each
generation has a critical role in how this
culture will develop. This is a moment, a
call. I'm with you Chris. I've tried to
organize behind the scenes, but I've come across
rode blocks as others are caught up in other
activities. But maybe we can now see this call
is serious. As Ming-Ming says in Wonder Pets,
"This is serious!" woods, be creative, SA ---
