If you seek yourself,...you rob the lens of its transparency.... You will know life and be acknowledged by it according to your degree of transparency, your capacity, that is, to vanish as an end, and remain purely as a means.

You are the lens in the beam. You can only receive, give, and possess the light as the lens does. If you seek yourself, you rob the lens of its transparency. You will know life and be acknowledged by it according to your degree of transparency, your capacity, that is, to vanish as an end, and remain purely as a means.

Truth Decay
Have you noticed how much easier,
it is to tell when someone’s lying?
Do you really believe George Bush?
Do you really believe John McCain,
Paulson, Obama, Pelosi, Palin or Cheney?
Is it because the Sun shines more brightly,
on those that scurry around in darkness?
Sunshine promotes transparency.
Transparency treats truth decay.
Seek and speak truth…
“The truth shall set you free”

Reluctance and Self Acceptance
RELUCTANCE AND SELF ACCEPTANCE
Neutrality is rarely cup of tea.
where intelligence creative and aware
dare not stagnate, can't simply stop and stare.
Open mind needs true transparency,
tunes into wave length seeds so few can key, -
finds answers which should new advance prepare -
to change dimensions as defensive layer
at last can soften, leaving spirit free.
Although the quest for self discovery
lends hope to scope to answer inner prayer
though self acceptance may not dare to dare
respond to feelings in the first degree,
Never content within the status quo,
you “why' and 'wherefore' therefore need to know.
Need to feed, reluctance to be fed,
is paradox where intellect attracts -
comb[in]ing 'cause/effect' for hidden tracks
opens patterns which help think ahead.
Leaving double bind behind, mind's led
defeating ‘déjà vu's’ stark whites and blacks.
Where harmony, transparency one lacks -
trust may be spurned though earned - dark path to tread.
Though years past cost counts spread crape mirage b[l]ed.
one must look forward, sow, life interacts
with feeling flows emotions mesh, - no cracks -
reactions to response tune heart to head.
Nourished, open sentiments take root,
then flourish where their boughs may bear full fruit.

A government operates and acts differently than a company. So all we want to do is get some transparency here and then determine if the deal should go forward.

The revolutionalist
We need a change
There must be a change
Authority do means extra responsibility
Not selfishness and greediness
Prosperity came from efficiency
Transparency and it effectiveness
Ignorant and corrupt leadership
Like an army of evil soldiers in a warship
They kill, destroy and steal us
So we do not like their friendship
Instead of prosperity
They create poverty
Beware of the beast
For you do not know where it cometh from
Wither the west or the east
Either at mourn or at feast
Power is sweat
But why does it feels bitter
Life is sweat
But why cant we live forever

We do not have a functioning market in the true sense of the word in health care. That's a layer of transparency that's sorely needed in America.
If we want to truly regain the public's trust, we can provide greater accountability and transparency with a simple step. Let's start by communicating to our constituents about the votes we take.
