ANNOUNCEMENT OF RE-CONSIDERATION

This blog will soon undergo renovation.  

My name is Sarah Esther Miller, and I created this project in 2010 as an experiment through which to vent my FURY about the WORLDWIDE hierarchy - the TOWER of INJUSTICE, so to speak - that keeps brilliant  and beautiful people trapped in the chains of slavery’s ghost.

I was afraid to make this blog personal.   I was suffering from PTSD.  I was still enslaved by fear.

But We, (me and you, the rest of my tortured generation, and the lost souls among you who came before),

WE KNOW VERY WELL BY NOW THAT THE PERSONAL IS POLITICAL.

With gratitude to our visionary mothers through the centuries, I leave you all with these considerations:

1.  If the personal is political (as it ALWAYS is), then shouldn’t the Political ALWAYS be personal?

2.  This question would be deemed Heresy by the Journalist or the Judge, who relies on a strict separation of personal from political.  But science and logic have shown us that the brain, in reality, DOES NOT NATURALLY make this divide - in other words, every “fact” is an opinion and every “testimony/witness” is a story.

3.  I think it is time to re-consider our reality in America.  Who among us really has the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?

I am on a quest for TRUTH.  I want the history books re-written, and I will do it alone if I must. 

But I have a feeling I am not alone in this quest.  This blog has, up until now, been an unorganized archive of other people’s visionary words, and yet within ONE YEAR there were NINE HUNDRED of you listening.

I am not special.  I am not called.  I am certainly not holy.

Even my name is formulaic and false:

1. Sarah means Princess.  I loathe inequality and want nothing of that title.

2. Esther means either Hidden or Star, depending on your etymological loyalties.  I am clearly neither of those things.  

3. I do not work at a Mill, and I am not the daughter of Millers, but of Public Defenders.

I need a new name. I am coming to the end of my Metamorphosis into my True Self.  

Will you help me?  Will you find my Name?

The clues will be in the next post.

After that I will maintain Radio Silence until I’ve finished my Re-Consideration.  

Then this blog will be reborn as a platform for the True Revolution.

May your hearts be light with inner peace, 

Sarah the Scribe (for now)

"Why am I compelled to write? Because the writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me."

Gloria E. Anzaldúa

"It turns out your conscious mind — the part you think of as you — is really the smallest part of what’s happening in your brain, and usually the last one in line to find out any information."

— David Eagleman, As quoted in “Stray Questions for: David Eagleman” by Blake Wilson in The New York Times (10 July 2009)

"Your “conscious life” is an elaborate after-the-fact rationalization of things you really do for other reasons."

"

There is immense silent agony in the world, and the task of man is to be a voice for the plundered poor, to prevent the desecration of the soul and the violation of our dream of honesty.

The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the Prophets sought to convey: that morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.

"The greatest problem is not how to continue but how to exalt our existence. The call for a life beyond the grave is presumptuous, if there is no cry for eternal life prior for our descending to the grave. Eternity is not perpetual future but perpetual presence. He has planted in us the seed of eternal life. The world to come is not only a hereafter but also a here-now."

— Abraham Joshua Heschel
