PEACE is at the Heart of All – that Matters

-



As the wise sage once sang “Give peace a chance”.  I am here to say that – without Peace, we have no chance.


Peace is not the opposite of war, it is our salvation.  But, peace begins with every individual, when we see, hear, feel, and understand its value.  No deity from above is coming to rescue us if we believe in some ancient literature, and accept him as our redeemer.  Salvation comes from within.  The first step is the hardest and the most important step towards our evolution, that first step is peace or it will mean our demise.


As the saying goes hate cannot be healed with hate, it must be healed with love.  And, there can be no peace without love.  Love for ourselves and love for others.  For we are all one.  Each of us is a cell in the body of man.


There is no other.  Politics, religion, race, education, can create boundaries and fences which separate us and can cause derision.  Philosophers and plowman each must do their part; to eradicate the perception of the other.


But, how you may wonder, can we make peace and forge a new way of communing and communicating when our own heart rages with desire and loathing?  I will say that the most powerful and greatest gift that mankind has is our ability to be aware of it.


Awareness, mindfulness, compassion the three hinges to the door of our evolution and enlightenment are there for us, we need only open the door and cross the threshold to our higher selves or we can accept the status quo of conflict and cynicism and stay mired in a world fraught with suffering and despair.


So we begin a new each day by being aware of open hearts, open minds, and open doors of opportunity to make this world, our home, a better community because Peace is at the Heart of ALL that matters.

TRIBALISM WILL SURELY KILL US ALL

Like a pack of hungry wolves, we seek to eat and destroy our prey. That hunger that thirst that cannot be satisfied can eat us alive. When some of us have all that we need we want more. More than we can ever use. More and more and more that is our mantra. When disasters happen, we are instructed to consume more for the cause. But that is only instinct. However, it does not serve the good, our good or the collective good or the greater good. Our economic system is based on consumption. More hunter than a gatherer. We rely on a cheap source of energy that destroys the environment when new economies can build on newer more sustainable and environmentally friendly renewable forms of energy i.e. solar, winds, waves. We can leverage what is already there. That is Humane – for us and our home. Animals take care of their homes, dens, hives, nests, we destroy and spoil what was given us with our never-ending appetites.   Preservation and now restoration must be our focus lest we

GET BACK TO NORMAL? - WHAT THE F*CK!

Come what may, whatever tomorrow may bring, we need to deal with it and move on! The world is in pieces and we can not change it or fix it with the same thinking that got us here. Greed and Selfishness will not be tolerated moving forward. The truth will be first and foremost the determining factor on every decision and petty bullshit will not be tolerated. Stupidity and ignorance - willful or otherwise will be called out and not be allowed to continue. We are all in this together the Social Compact must be adhered to and practiced and encouraged if we are to survive and evolve beyond this moment in time. "Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go." ~ Hermann Hesse There is a lot of misinformation out there. Conspiracy theories are running rampant. Fake news, disinformation, social media is inundated and saturated with memes and cartoons depicting gallows humor a person doesn't know what to believe - so we cower in our c

TREATING THE SYMPTOMS NOT THE CAUSE.

FOR-PROFIT AND DIVIDENDS "Those who do not hate their own selfishness and regard themselves as more important than the rest of the world are blind because the truth lies elsewhere" ~ Blaise Pascal I was recently diagnosed as having Type 2 Diabetes. I went to the Dr. for a regular check-up to get a physical. Pretty routine stuff. He scheduled me to get labs done. I hadn't seen him in a couple years. So it made sense. Saved time so he had the baseline numbers PSA etc.. to work with. Turns out my blood sugar was through the roof - 15 when 5-6.5 A1C is an acceptable number. He said we would treat it with meds first then pursue getting the number done with diet. I thought ok. It was all new to me. I did not even realize that I was looking at diabetes until I asked him what was going on. Later after doing some research, I realized that the Dr. did not even mention exercise or what foods I should eat or other options as far as medication. I did n
