My vision

This is a record of my thoughts, inspirations, sources and joys. It is always intended as a discussion even if with only myself. This means that even this vision will change, but as it should with life's lessons and wisdom teachings heard.
The goals of my life is to directly confront both the forces within me and around me which contribute to the injustices and inadequacies, that flood our streets with blood. I refuse to accept the glasses which our culture chooses to wear that makes the blood disappear. My hands are red with the blood from my own wounds and the wounds of those around me. I now am choosing to no longer have my hands red simply from living in an unjust world, but by directly applying pressure to the wounds of humanity, even if only in my small ways.

I refuse to accept that one person can't change the world, but I do not believe that I can do anything alone. I live in a community, a global village where if 33 people live without sanitary water supplies the 67 can and must change that. (This is drawn from the village of a 100, which is meant to emphasis the vast inequalities in the world, when I recently read it I was simply struck as to why, when we think of it in such minute scales change seems possible, but when the picture is enlarged change becomes impossible. )

I believe that peace with justice at every level begins with steps towards peace at any level. I can start this by involving by involving my mind, spirit and body in my world through presence, love, follow through, humility, grace and serenity. I must engage in issues which I am passionate about no matter if it is signing a petition or organizing an action. Through loving relationships with myself and others. By being unafraid to act on my vision.
