Dylan

Lately, I keep listening to old Dylan songs.Seems to be a perfect soundtrack to life as an ex-pat gringo surfer losing his Human form in the warm water and green jungle lands of central Mexico.

I was 12 in 1968 when I first realized there was some power in the sounds and feel of Bob Dylan's music. At 12 I wouldn't have put it like that but that's what was going on. I could feel it then. That vibe resonated with what was happening in the world at that time...frequency melding, mirror to the world, as one singer-songwriter saw it.

The next generation of that vibe, the present day energy of "somethin's happening here"...although there's no "Man with a gun over there"there may be a camera or a listening device from the stars watching you now....point is the paranoia sure hasn't paled with age...these days the paranoia is the forte of the media and our political leaders. They aren't even stoned and they feed on that stuff like a great banquet.Worse than that, we eat it..like junkies going crazy for something they know deep inside ain't good for them and they do it anyway. Addiction...the humans are seriously addicted to the frequency and emotional energy of fear and anger, judgement and self -importance.

Watching the world go around I can see what I think I remember seeing in the late 60's. The life that was once upon a time normal is disintegrating into the truth. Dylan tells a lot of personal emotional truth. All the qualities that were so cool about his music then are back.

I've learned something over the last few years...when the truth is coming to town a lot of shit is going to hit the fan. Well, it's not really shit, more like all those distorted lies and stories that have no truth too them, they hit the fan. Can you imagine if the truth was to walk into our American Dream and all the lies, all across the board, were called out ? Of course it would have to start in our little homes and communities, we the people would have to be willing to be the change we were looking for.

Levon Helm sings about it in The Bands "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down"..."Virgil Cain is my name and I served on the Danville train"....So Your gonna have to serve somebody, got any new ideas for life in the 21st century cuse the 20th century version can't take on much more water till that ships going down..Swimming with the rats ain't much of a future...

The good news is we humans create realities with each choice, action, thought and belief so it's only resistance to the coming of the truth that will bring more pain, fear and suffering. We can bring heaven to Earth, will we? Como no..It's All Over Now Baby Blue...I Shall Be Released.....Vaya con Dios, Lee
