"MASLOV'S HEIRARCHY OF NEEDS"
This is a story about Maslov’s hierarchy of needs of human motivation. Maslov’s hierarchy of needs is a pyramid very similar to a corporation hierarchy. This theory says there are many of us human beings living on the bottom rung of the ladder of the pyramid. Many people are barely surviving the physiological needs of surviving with food, water, air, shelter, and sleep. The people living on the self-actualization for personal growth, fulfillment, and a realization of one’s potential can seem out of reach for people on the bottom rung of the pyramid. A low-income person struggles to make ends meet, feed their family, and attend to their needs as the self-actualization of their life has been squashed due to being extremely tired, high rent, bills, and groceries. As our high inflation erupts society, I feel sad because I know how they feel. However, I studied Mid-Management in college in the 1970s. I was at the beginning of the woman power movement of self-actualization.

"VIRTUAL REALITY LOVE". Content Warning.
This is a poem, a story about two twin souls meeting online at an older age. They live far apart but not in their hearts. There are many stories of romances online in 2024. Not all romances online are scams. I believe in love again even at the age of 74. I have an old rock n roll heart. Rock on through the music and time of space and internet lines.

'SURVIVAL OF THE TRUTH'. Content Warning.
This is a reflection of a true story in the week of the summer solstice moon upon arrival in LA June 16, 2016. Now I can reflect as I need to sing again, love again, and talk to my angels of light.

The gathering is congenial. People are laughing and talking. The bully walks up to the host yelling at her for burning the burgers when he had walked away from his responsibility of cooking the burgers.

"OF SPACE AND TIME I WRITE". Content Warning.
Once upon a time a friend of my youth whispered in my ear my life was clouds of illusion of both sides now. The friend is gone now of long ago. I thought about him and how the song he spoke of to me that day still speaks to me today. I was 17 at that time. I am 74. How did he know? I believe we are reborn throughout and our souls travel in time and space of many realities and into multi-universes of space and time. Perhaps we had met in another lifetime?
