DETACHMENT?

I have not written for a long while. It seems that the world goes on whether I write or not. Gaza has been destroyed, Presidents elected, billion dollar scams exposed....and yet the world rotates whether I write or not. Merrily, merrily, merrily......life is but a dream. So I will dream. Perhaps of a world without war. Perhaps with an acceptance that not everyone wants peace. And the mirrors flash by. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of myself, often times I miss it, or forget that I saw. But most of all I must see the joy in the DANCE.

What is the difference between a genocidal maniac and a diplomat?http://www.globalpolicy.org/intljustice/wanted/kissingerindex.htm

What is the difference between fighting for peace and negotiating a peaceful solution? How can one man be behind so many personal assaults against everything "human" we think we stand for. What if we are not thinking about it enough. In the link to your right "Dalai Lama Renaissance" a speaker says, who were those people that watched the trains go by. The trains full of humans going to concentrations camps. And we all think we would not be one of them. The silent. Just watching as neighbors are railed away in cattle cars to their death.

The speaker asks if "we are not now sitting silently by as people are rolling into mass graves". Serbia, Cambodia (The Killing Fields), South America, Africa, Palestine, Iraq, Tieneman Sq, Timor, Sudan .....blah, blah, blah...too much to pay attention?

We prefer to watch CSI. Individuals graphically shown with their throats cut. Flashbacks to their violent rapes. Speculation about motive, how to's...'Clue', just your average board game in 3d. We call it relaxing, entertainment, fun. Graphic depictions that 10 years ago would have shocked. Personally, I'd rather see a rounded breast. I turn away in horror at the scenes I see on Prime Time T.V., much like folks used to do in past ages at real life photos of Vietnam.

Are we being trained to see the blood and gore depicted to get us used to our future, as a warring nation? What if the movie TOYS, with Robin Williams was right? All toys, tv shows, (gladiators, CSI...) was simply our training ground for perpetual genocide and war? Spooky? I think so.

Far fetched? I just ask you to question your heart. What is it that causes you to find others sorrow and tortures, entertaining and relaxing??

Just ask yourself. and then consider;

Are our governmental representatives for peace, representing respect for the human race. Are we sitting watching the death trains going by as entertainment or are we actively speaking out. Or at the very least, giving 10 minutes of our very concious time. Not a 1 minute prayer as I lay me down to sleep....although a 60 second commercial is higher priced than a 10 second....so, hey sound bytes are better than no bites.....I guess.

What if inside every demon there is an angel struggling

to be free

More peaceful Bil'in

Refugee Forever

While the city of Jenin has been a refugee camp for over 50 years...amounting to Palestinians being refugees in their own country, the village of Bil'in has been staging peaceful demonstrations for 2 1/2 years, hoping to prevent the destruction of their village as the Great Wall of Israel bulldozes it's way through their homes and olive trees. The residents of Bil'in have remarkably held their course of non-violence, with courage and integrity as

Israeli soldiers and machinery ravage their land and lives.

They have been staging peaceful protests hoping to keep their village from being destroyed, and in so doing serve as a positive inspiration for many faced with the same plight. Unfortunately parts of Palestine and Israel do not recieve all of the news, all of the time. Images of Bil'in, research yourself http://www.bilin-village.org/

The Banyan Tree

What if we turned this topsy turvy upside down world back up right then everyone would be having vertigo This blog is about evolution, about exploring why we keep doing the same thing, over and over and over again. The sins of the fathers will be visited upon the sons. What if the sons started doing things differently than their fathers? What if war was not the way to peace, after all. What if a leopard could change it's spots??? What if the fish could crawl onto land. Evolution. What if man could love his brother, and his sister. What if.
