My ears are working overtime. This morning at barely 7 AM they pick up cars, trucks and bikes in the street, a radio broadcast, an airplane and a host of bird calls. I marvel at the rich tapestry of sound we are surrounded in. Just one portion of our sensation filled moments and I could write a page on it. We have created a beautiful, stimulating world, distraction is available at every turn. The diagnosis of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) is a misnomer. It should be called AOE (Attention On Everything!). Those labeled as such have come here unable to develop the habit of blocking out life and desensitizing themselves to this marvelous, busy, loud, colorful world. They are the ones who are the first to notice a change or injustice. They ignore nothing.
We need to adopt the same attitude. The cabal has worked diligently for 300 years to convince us to ignore a great deal of our lives. We hear of atrocities in other countries and cities and shake our heads. We see the blatant display of wealth as well as starvation and we get angry or sad yet it stops there. So overwhelmed with our personal rat race, we remain quiet, keep our head down and try to just get by without being noticed.
