Everything Changes

Everything changes by SOJA –.

This song speaks about social and financial injustices of all humanity.

Some are born into money and get richer…

“while most of us are chasing down a dream that we just can’t reach.”

Humanity should have transcended from a life of challenging defiance’s

to a life of abundance where no one ever goes hungry or lacks basic human needs…

There is more than enough resources on this planet

and enough smart people to make this transition possible…

But we are stuck on stupid.

We allow demagogue politicians to mis-inform the mentally vulnerable into distracting rhetoric

that has nothing to do with increasing the welfare of the human condition.

They offer only the big ‘FU’ and turn ourselves against each other

in a fury of meaningless non-sequitur rage.

The United States of American is now the dumbed down ‘Divided states of aughMurica’.

With no concern for improving the human condition…

only to divide, conquer and run our country into the ground

for short term gain for the already super rich,

while the homeless die on our streets,

the poor become the new homeless and the once middle class now slides into poverty.

It is a self-defeating mode of representation that we find ourselves hopeless stuck with.

Helping the poor is not about just giving the downtrodden a free hand out.

It is this unevolved limited view

that keeps our homeless problem continuing to get worse each year.

We must collectively consider the big picture,

the view of a sustainable way for humanity to grow towards that existence of abundance.

By helping people get more free education when they are young, then ensuring

there are countless opportunities to have creatively fulfilling career opportunities.

Once we establish a more mindful approach to our society’s challenges,

there won’t be a homeless problem.

But there are too many demagogue politicians

that are not trained to be humanist nor social engineers…

most of the gop is only concerned about the political power

and the personal gains that come with it.

We all need to do our best to reach out to those that are being duped…

Perhaps if a true friend can find a way to talk some reason into their friends

that are voting against their very own best interests…

while undermining of their children’s children’s future…

Maybe if enough of ‘we the people’ can pull ourselves from

this self-defeating mode of representation,

we can then again have hope for our children’s future.

If at least 10% of our population could grow enough of a heart, mind, soul and consciousness… That would be all we’d need for the classic societal “tipping point” towards a better life for all. ~ ~ ~

I live on a catamaran that we sail throughout the Hawaiian Islands.

Here I just set up two basic mics, one pointed towards the guitar, the other towards the voice. The wind was blowing and the seas were a wee bit lumpy…

But please enjoy my musical offering and words of hope.

The Start of 2020

Our business was doing great, but we still couldn’t afford to buy a house or a condo. Renting in Maui for another 30 years was not an option we wanted to take. Then, Bobbie Jo suggested we buy a sailboat that is comfortable to cruise and live in. By the end of January, we started looking for our new home.

After a long search, we found our dream boat in Mazatlan, Mexico. COVID-19 was not yet a concern when our boat hunt began, but masks were starting to appear at airports by the time we flew to Mazatlan. Originally, we had planned to get the boat ready as fast as possible to cover a full calendar for the busy wedding season. However, it was apparent our business was going to tank amid the pandemic, and the struggle went on until the end of the year.

Luckily, we scored an awesome condo for only $19 a day at Mazatlan. On the 10th day of our stay, we received the news that all harbors will be closed the next Monday morning. We thought we’d be stuck in Mexico longer, but another sailor advised us to leave before sunrise.

We felt the adrenalin of escaping the Mexican harbor master just before the sun rose that faithful day. The seas were rough as waves were building up in the tight channel that led us to the open ocean. We ended up anchored off an adorable little isle just a mile offshore. We enjoyed cruising to many spectacular anchorages and cute villages on our way to Puerto Vallarta, where we would depart for Maui on May 7. On May 30, 2020, we completed our 24-day passage from Mexico to Maui.
