Raising consciousness with Barbie and Ken

Thor's hammer hangs over the mailbox pending a promised afternoon visit to Okieland . . .

Only the Kens of the world need their consciousness raised, and Greta Gerwig makes the case in Barbie.

There is a non-cognitive creative space that lies beyond our thinking – Kim Hermanson in Deep Knowing: Entering the Realm of Non-Ordinary Intelligence, Rawberry Books 2022.

Whether you succeed or not is irrelevant—there is no such thing. Making your unknown known is the important thing—and keeping the unknown always beyond you—catching crystallizing your simpler clearer version of life—only to see it turn stale compared to what you vaguely feel ahead—that you must always keep working to grasp—the form must take care of its self if you can keep your vision clear . . . You and I don’t know whether our vision is clear in relation to our time or not—No matter what failure or success we may have—we will not know—But we can keep our integrity—according to our own sense of balance with the world and that creates our form – Georgia O'keeffe in today’s Marginalian

On an acne covered sidewalk, lovers stroll

In an acid rain.

Jontue and Aramis hand in hand,

Rarely eye to eye,

Wondering what they're about to do.

Innocence awaits its demise.

Looking forward across

Baby Love Soft cosmetic counters,

pheromes linked to hormones

count beyond consciousness

the quantum leap into the ecstasy to come

to come from the army-green-jacket-

wet-T-shirt blue- jean-video moment

of innocence awaiting its demise.
