Intern Rights Protests Coming To Lincoln Center?

Organizers at Intern Labor Rights, a division of the Occupy Wall Street movement, have announced their plan to descend on the hordes of well-dressed, constantly photographed models,Discount Vibram Five Fingers celebs, and industry folk during the height of New York Fashion Week.

The issue came into the limelight when former Hearst intern Diana Wang began a class-action lawsuit based on her time as an unpaid intern at Harper's Bazaar. Though Wang herself isn't involved in this new initiative, she certainly paved the way for addressing an issue the industry generally likes to keep quiet. One of the protest organizers told Buzzfeed that interest is spiking higher and higher each day, and though he doesn't expect to see hundreds, he does think there will be "a significant presence" outside shows this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Former Fox Searchlight intern Eric Glatt, who's also in the midst of a lawsuit, explained the theory behind the outrage: "Whenever it's at a for-profit institution the worker legally needs to be compensated. The fashion industry is a for-profit industry — it's not like they're working not-for-profit arts organizations. They're making billions of dollars and the fact that they're asking their students to donate their labor to these businesses is really outrageous."

The End and The Beginning

As the Pope resigns today you can’t but wonder what has been going on behind the scenes.  Much talk of scandal from the Vatileaks which had effected Pope's brother Georg Ratzinger has no doubt had an effect.  Many people in church, government, corporations and media are waking up to the realization that the public at large is no longer going to sit back and be lied to and controlled as slaves of the past.  The movement happening across the globe of people in masses taking a stand for change cannot be stopped.  Those that have hidden agendas or those that have been forced to follow orders or face the consequences are seeing that the dominoes are falling and from top down.  This is a new world dawning and love has taken hold over the darkness.  The light within the hearts of humanity are becoming ever more visible and heard.  There is no looking back.  This event is but a taste of what’s to come and  I for one am looking forward to it.

The Heart Song for February 28th 2013 is

Birds of Paradise by Peter

 

 

Who are you
Who am i? is it real
Do we touch the sky?
Nothing's real - all disguise
Said the birds of paradise.
I'm afraid
Can't you see
Tell me where do you carry me.
You will soon realize
Said the birds of paradise.
Flying home
Flying home to the land that you once have known

To the peace that once was true for a little girl like you.
Flying home
Flying home from a world that is made of stone
Till your heart is light and free like it once was meant to be.
How can i go ahead when my eyes are becoming wet?
(From: http://www.elyrics.net)
Save your tears - dry your eyes
Said the birds of paradise.
But the times passing by
Say how long do we have to fly?
Moon will set, sun will rise
Said the birds of paradise.
Flying home
Flying home to the land that you once have known
. .
Flying home
Flying home from a world that is made of stone
Till your heart is light and free like it once was meant to be.
Hear the sound
See the light
Now i know that our way was right
Morning sun can make you wise
Said the birds of paradise.
Birds of paradise.

REALIZED - PLEASED TO MEET YOU

REALIZED – PLEASED TO MEET YOU

 

The writer has changed, so too the voice.

 

Once meek and mild, full of equivocation, doing my level best to sneak up on things rather than call them out by name, stating a truth bluntly. What lovely poetry did it make, but it is too much work to continue to approach myself and writing that way.

 

So, the voice is sparser, more blunt, to the point. Hopefully funnier.

 

And I have decided that for this blog, I am going to be a little bossy. I have decided to try on, not an authoritative or pedantic air, but the air of an elder who really should be listened to, so sit down, be quiet, drink your cocoa and let me talk. You might learn a thing or two.

 

Now, this is brand new for me. I am not someone who has ever felt that I have any right to tell anyone how to think or feel or act. Somehow I made it to 52 thus shackled. But, this is what I know. I know that I spend more time and effort and imagination trying to figure things, the big things, out than most people expend on their most cherished pastimes. My passion is to understand life and God and myself and my place within this whole thing. I think that is a very reasonable thing to be obsessed with. I am cool with you thinking it's batshit insane. Most people do. They don't use that term. They've always preferred “weird.”

 

Deeper sense's

Create for yourselves, attain life in your own ways, dont hesitate to show your creations to others. Mistakes are unexistent once beyond the void. It is simply the act of augmenting your creational states. The more you realize and experiance within your creations, the grander others at any soul creational "level" any where on earth that could be in a paused state could stumble over and notice similiarities. Might be new acknowledgements for further creations utilizing from yours to get back at that activated state to source and the more of ballanced clarity within. The easier it gets for you to be able to have new sence's showing your path for awakenings.

 

Follow your hearth's


If you dont know where to begin, follow your feelings of what is right or giving you an idee of where to look an attain connection to source. These can be occurances, to shift your train of thought to better ballance. Then one has greater senses of where to look, It can be in nature, reading from others, any thing created is an opening to guidance for others. Movements of energies are easiest when stable and in synch. One must try, to experiance and to learn, and become.

 

If one only acknowledges at all times this means your guided to search in a procession till the right time comes and shift awareness to the path, in a specific moment, and get the "click" feeling and synchronistics events appear.
 

We are all teacher's to ourselves, are own self and guidance can tangle in unawakened others in other formalities of level in perceptions and shift to higher states from creations.

 

This is a creation, if one understands he can go in deeper meanings and create to enlightment at infinit levels with time. ballance of being. Augment his sense from self or with others creations.

 

 

I hope this helps further

and

Peace be with you
Namaste :)
