Each year I learn more about the truth surrounding the founding of America and the holiday we call “Thanksgiving.”

 

My eighth grade social studies book was titled,
“The History of the New World.”

 

This was not the “New World” to Native people. We sold their people, stole their land, brainwashed their children and have continued up to this year to break every treaty or agreement we have ever made.

 

The only thing that will make any difference is if we come to a place where we treat every person with dignity, grace and loving-kindness.

 

We stop denigrating others because they are different from us.
We recognize that when people do damage to others physically or verbally it is because they do not value themselves, are weak, fearful, insecure and afraid.

 

Let us take time to reflect, love, beg forgiveness and commit to a new way of being, now and always!

 

With all the love I know!

 

Namaste!

 

Priorities

A co-worker brought in an old movie from home that she’d thought I’d enjoy. For two weeks, it sat on my coffee table. While interested, it just wasn’t a priority for me. And as more days passed, I began to feel a sense of urgency to watch it – to ...

Dr. Kevorkian

Dr. Jack Kevorkian was released earlier this month, having spent eight years in jail at a cost in excess of four hundred thousand dollars for helping people who wanted to die to be able to do so with surety and dignity. I wonder if the agreement that was reached before ...

Gestures

My brother and I attended a Chicago Cubs baseball game a few weeks ago and part of the fun was watching the interaction between the players in the outfield and the fans sitting in the bleachers. Sometimes after the inning warm up, the left-fielder would throw a ball into the ...

Reminders

We transported my daughter's horse 1600 miles.  When we walked into the boarding stable, relaxing music was playing as well as messages on the tack board, stall assignment, feed schedule that spoke to sharing and being loving kindness. Does it take a reminder to be aware of the grace and ...

Who Has the Power?

As a society, we consistently speak as if we can teach, motivate, inspire, educate and empower other people. I wonder what it will take for us to understand that we can do none of these things? ...
Status Quo

 

The world is exactly as we want it to be.

How would we behave if that were not the truth?

Discipline





“It is because we have at the present moment

everybody claiming the right of conscience

without going through any discipline whatsoever

that there is so much untruth

being delivered to a bewildered world.”





-Mahatma Gandhi
