Father's Day, Your Self, Ego and Jim Carrey's speech

Jai Guru Dev

 Jim Carrey speaks truthfully to graduates of Maharashi University of Management in 2014 about fear and the act of love in all things we do, from about 10 mins of the video.

 But in respect for Father's Day, his speech points out how lessons we learn sometimes come directly from our families and those close to us.

 He explains from minute - 11:19-11:52

 "You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love."

   -Jim Carrey, comedian

Our Socially Constructed Jungle - Poem by Athena Lamberis

Socially Constructed Jungle

by Athena Lamberis

Over the seas

 Far away

In the neck 

Of the jungle

Trees cast shadows on our eyes

Until we wake up

We won't realise

We grew this jungle deep

and under these trees

I weep.

Don't deny that the trees grew

but were planted by you.

Don't forget that the sun is above.

We all belong

All belong to the roots.

We are the children of the bark.

Awaken to truths
before 

we create clouds
to covers the skies

Under these trees

Under these trees

I weep

Under these trees

We weep.

****

Let's consider and understand
 this socially constructed jungle
we live in will suffocate us all
if we don't recognise the harm
it has caused by the seeds
from which it was planted.

Dedicated to lives lost
 families in pain
Our global community mourns
A plea for
Truth and Reconciliation
For hate crimes across
the Globe.
