Current Conclusions

There are many contradictions in these pages, mostly contradictions in space/time. For example; why did Charlie not die at birth? How did he go on for another 29 years? How can 4 generations of a family be alive at once, and dead matter persist for millions of years?

It seems to me we have four options at this point;

1) Charlie's way. Good on you baby, maybe it would have been better if I had just let us drift away after the meconium aspiration, or if our ancestors had done the same after their own trauma.

2) Drift away. Wait for the oxygen to run out and keep busy and wait for physical trauma. This is the option I have chosen and it seems all the other remaining living beings too. It seems to be taking a very long time. As I wait, I share lessons learned on this blog.

3) Actively pursue peace. I've been working on this, but seem to be getting tons of pushback.

4) Resurrect Charlie's Time Machine, and go back before the Big Bang. Super hard, and he left no designs. So our only true option is not practical.


EVERYONE'S DEATH IS CAUSED BY STRESS AND THE RESULTING PTSD. No matter if you die young or old, of cancer or gunshot or suffocation or dehydration, as I suspect I will go. This is why the world needs peace so badly.

I guess I will keep sucking oxygen from the air. The fish will do so from the water. My mother will do so from her air compressor. The plants will suck CO2 from the air too. It's my only passive option. As Charlie would say: "Sure, let's go with that"


Here is a short list of resources that have resonated with me through this journey:

1) Thinking of all the living beings in the universe and their creations, especially Charlie.

2) The song Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie ( Link )

3) The video "Soft Language" by George Carlin ( Link )

4) The book "The Lorax" by Dr. Suess.


Some may say that "as long as there's life, there's hope". Sure let's go with that, I hope there will be peace.

    I think I will add some definitions here, even though many are conflicting and circular.

    Peace - A state of stillness with total acceptance of all circumstances.
    Love - A relationship between living beings in which all accept each other. Currently I only love our dog, Barkley. I think he loves me but spends most of his time with my husband.
    Garbage - All the byproducts of living.
    Littering- Generating garbage
    Irony - All the contradictions.
    Nature - The harmonious state of living and non living beings.
    Instinct- The invisible, genetically encoded, driving force that compels us to act. The survival instinct is the strongest and has compelled me to act in destructive ways. In plants they do not call it instinct, but they have it too.

    Peace

    Other definitions

    Communication- An exchange of ideas between living beings.

    Emergency- A situation which prompts the survival instinct to take priority action, whatever that may be.

    Oh Peace, I can almost feel the state of serenity that I can see you longing for. It is a dream that I am sure many people share. And your questions provoke deep thoughtfulness. My caring is with you, and my typing is of course, always at your disposal.

Obituary

 Recently we lost our beloved Charlie. He dropped all his balls in the air, and restarted as a ghost. He was loved by all who ever met him and many who never did, but heard stories. He was that special. In this picture, we are in Tilden Park. He was two. Tutored primarily by his father, but raised by a village, he already spoke in full sentences, could navigate the world inside and out and constantly inquired "why?". As we exited the park, he inquired about the trailhead and we embarked on a great adventure in nature. As he grew, these themes of nature, love and genius persisted. We talked a lot about how the time travel machine is broken, so that all we can do is our best, and so that is what we did. Charlie, btw was voted most likely to invent a time travel machine in thee 8th grade. Recently, Charlie shared with me that he wanted to be there forever for his soulmate Carmela and her two beautiful children. He saw possibility where I saw none. I saw possibility where he saw ...

Introduction

 Hello world,  My name is Peace. Some of you have known me by my former name Katherine Marsden, but I have changed my name to embody what I want to encourage in this world. My son recently passed away, and I am starting this blog to honor his memory, and to be able to share my thoughts on life with the world. I hope that everyone reading this will consider what is truly important with an open mind. My son had PTSD and this is an exploration of that disease in an effort to promote peace.  EVERYONE'S DEATH IS CAUSED BY STRESS AND THE RESULTING PTSD. No matter if you die young or old, of cancer or gunshot or suffocation or dehydration, as I suspect I will go.

Musings on Trauma

Trauma is cumulative. Our first significant trauma is being born. So we all have PTSD with all its horrific physical and emotional symptoms.  PTSD is not an injury that can be naturally healed like an external kind. Therefore we are all in deep trouble. Going to the hospital won't help. Let the first close call take you out. If you can't heal naturally, you can't heal.  Fall where you fall. And poof, your'e gone. My ring is FINALLY OFF! Cat helped me using a trick with a ribbon. Feeling more peaceful despite today's traumatic events which included cops with guns in my house threatening me. All feeding my PTSD.
