I'm owning up to my nasty email to the occupymissoula.org administrators......
I am sorry for upsetting my fellow G.A. members. I agree, my email I sent was accusatory, negative, and had an angry tone. When I wrote the email I was negative, sad and angry. I didn't get myself balanced and in "the zone" before I wrote and sent that email. I realize my negativity, sadness and anger caused more negativity, sadness and anger. I take full responsibility for my thoughtlessness and tact. Everyone, please forgive me.
I'm no saint or zen master. I'm aware I have my moments, I can be rough around the edges and I'm always working to smooth and polish those rough edges. I do need to take better care of myself at times. Lack of sleep, sometimes stress and fluctuating sugar levels (not an excuse, it is my responsibility to care for myself!) affects my mood, thought process and communication skills. Using Star Wars lingo, I can always be more Yoda and less Darth Vader.
For clarification to everyone, in that press release, the last paragraph states ".....in the holiday spirit of goodwill and peace, we are asking the County Commissioners to let us enjoy Christmas without engaging the police, with out threats of arrest...........". "We" are the encampment working group, "A camp", the alcoholic's camp, the housless vets, the mentally and physically disabled. All human beings with human rights that deserve dignity and peace. Law enforcement and county workers harass and intimidate us by stating there is going to be a raid, that you have to leave or you will be arrested (according to the County Commissioners, there is no county law on camping on county court house property), county workers have stolen disabled and houseless vets gear and attempted to take other disabled and houseless vets gear. Gear that helps them survive in the winter on the streets. This harassment and intimidation by law enforcement and county workers makes me sad and angry. It is Christmas eve, we demand dignity and peace, even though sometimes my actions and reactions are sometimes undignified and doesn't promote peace and I'm sincerely sorry!
By tomorrow evening or Tuesday (I hope) I will send another email concerning the issues of terrorism of poverty, houselesness, health care, classicism, stigmas, stereotypes, violence on the houseless such as the Kimberly Trail housless sweep 2 days before Veterans Day by city parks and recreation workers and Missoula Cops with shot guns, examples such as decorated Iraqi war veterans searching for peace, dealing with their issues and head trauma from I.E.D.s having 900 hundred dollars of their survival gear and only material possessions stolen from them. I'm passionate about these issues and I have personal relationships with these human beings that are suffering, do not have a voice and are experiencing normal psychological and physical reactions from unhealthy stimuli created by violence, oppression, terrorism, poverty, propaganda, lack of compassion, ignorance and arrogance.
With all honesty and sincerity I appreciate and like every individual involved with Occupy Missoula despite if there is disagreements and schisms. I wish I can develop relationships and get to know every individual outside the G.A atmosphere, the individual "occupy identity" , and know the one on one as human and spiritual beings.............
I am open to all ideas, I listen, contemplate and anytime I am enlightened and I change my mind on anything I am thankful......
I have more to express, share and want to connect and not alienate anyone.
The Occupy Missoula enacampment working group wants to express, share their experiences, goals and visions and not alienate anyone.
Due to lack of time and timing, to be continued...........
Merry Christmas, Peace and Love to all........................
