Brindle Style

Our 450th edition of Brindle Style where everything and nothing is sacred.  Behind the scenes we celebrated 50 years of 0riginal Blessing  500 years of Martin Luther's Reformation. And this winter was also the 200th birth day of Henry Thoreau the author of  WALDEN'S POND  - for whom our healing and post-trauma work forum was named.

Maiia In a 2005 search for the European Indigenous tradition of the Greenman, I found to my great amusement that the head of the Catholic Inquisition: Cardinal Ratzinger, who expelled Rev Dr Matthew Fox from Mother Church - is being promoted to Pope.

Brindle Style and WALDEN'S POND explore toxic shame as the rationale for pigheaded politicans and politician-headed policing.

Our children suffer today, not from a lack of knowledge but as a consequence of a point blank unwillingness to listen. From a deep seated refusal to stand corrected.

In Aotearoa - we saw homeless women being disparaged by ambos, by police and even a Labour MP chimed in, the main outcome seemed to be a barrage of facebook drivel.

This phenomenon, a culture of shallow underanding, is further examplified when pleas of Seanead O'Connor as"One of Millions" - ALSO PRODUCE A BARRAGE OF TOXIC FACEBOOK SHIT.

A willingness to listen and stand corrected- and having a grateful attitude, leads to whole hearted maturity. 

You know I care about dominance culture and its idea of consensus - not at all.  However, I am beginning to see some common ground open up. MEDIA REFORM Seven years on from 2011 and Occupy.  With whole hearted maturity The idea 'consensus' appears more plausible for the European diaspora than I could previously have envisaged."   Maiia  

To international news British labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is one breath of fresh air in a smog of prevarication.

The whole idea - an abombanation.
