Where to start? A song from the Sound of Music comes to mind:
Start at the very beginning
A very good place to start
It works in the Sound of Music: a, b, c, and do, re, mi.
But now? Here?
And even with the song from Sound of Music, I would ask: where did a, b, c, come from? And the same for do, re, mi. In my mind, starting from a, b, c, I go back to ancient fragments of tablets with cuneiform symbols. And I go from that to non-literate societies, where all needs to be memorized or is lost.
Again, no neat beginning.
So where to start? Just about all my life, I’ve loved creativity and thinking and doing good in the world. If I look back, I see several shifts - creative stuff, then more focus on ideas, then again creative stuff. From 1994-2006, so much spoken word. Hundreds of pieces. Starting 2006, a website that got up to 60,000 page views a month.
At the same time, a growing pull back to social issues, notably the taboo on thinking, and also the misrepresentation of Islam as a religion of peace. By 2012, my focus was strongly on issues - but I didn’t go beyond individual issues.
Over the past 2 years, that changed. I have looked, ever more, at where did this all start? What is the background for the plandemic? I came across David Martin, who showed there were patents for parts of the c-virus in 1999. I came across The Creature from Jekyll Island - Edward G Griffin on the beginnings of the US “Federal” (which is not federal) Reserve. And back from there. So much learning.
But this, right now, is mainly about me. Where to start?
I don’t come to a beginning. This year I’ve been in somewhat of a lull, facing the question: What is right for me, right now, to be giving my time to?
Also, sometimes when I stop doing something - like focussing on one thing or another - it’s hard for me to get going again, maybe a bit like a long long train that has somehow stopped on a stretch of rail, with various forks right ahead.
I have been doing things - especially, I’ve been creating a site which gives an overview of many of the aspects of Elsa: https://ElsaThoughtCreativityPassionLife,com
Maybe most important is Zee’s Cafe Cafe, a place for performances of my poems and songs, and for my talking about my ideas: https://zeescafecafe.com
There’s been a premiere in June. The big sustained launch will be in September - one show a month.
Zee’s Cafe Cafe links with something else I’ve been doing. I’ve gone back to poems I wrote long ago but never recorded. Very important. Yes, it matters to speak out on current dangers. But other people are doing that brilliantly. I read, I care, I speak - but at this time, I’m not giving current dangers most of my time. Because if I don’t take care of my writings, no one will. I feel a sense of responsibility to them. I know how important poems and stories can be. If I leave any legacy, it’s most likely some of the poems, and maybe a story or two.
As usual, I haven’t been doing only one thing, had only one focus. I’ve also gone back to a focus on the need to be able to think - something I’ve written a book on: Think or Sink: We Think or the West Sinks.
I’ve also been doing a few interviews with people I call truth warriors, including Tommy Robinson (well-known) and Joel Smalley (not so well-known). I’ll include links in future posts. I’ve also learned, recently through a brilliant video from Lauren Southern, about dangerous weaknesses in some truth warriors.
So where am I starting? I’m starting from: this is where I am, getting this long train moving - long because I’m not just getting started in life.
Here’s one of the poems I went back to, presented at Zee’s Cafe Cafe: Not on Empty, Not on Full. Enjoy. Welcome. More coming soon.

Best wishes in your rebirth. We have all lived in that world of lies. Where to start when we discover there's a world of truths?
