“Justice, most of us believe, is when we send bad guys to jail. We imagine that we can point out the few who get caught and that then we can think of ourselves as a fair society. But we don’t dare convict the whole system of massive injustice and deceit. Maybe we are refusing toContinue reading “Be a Seed”

A Piece for Peace
When hope feels thinand once againwe wake to headlines written in smoke,we ask the same old questionin a newer, louder voice. War. What is it good for? When the sky glows red in places we have never been,and yet somehow it is our own horizon burning,how do we handle it?How do we keep our heartsContinue reading “A Piece for Peace”
Intention Matters in Real Ways
“In the 1980s, during the peak of the Lebanon War, an incredible study was conducted. “It was hypothesised, based on many previous smaller experiments, that if enough people were connected in meditation, stimulating a ‘powerful field of peace’ within – that there would be a radiated influence of peace without, ie. one that affected theContinue reading “Intention Matters in Real Ways”
Change & Responsibility
(Taken from a letter written to a friend …) I understand the cyclic movement of change requires the dissolution of what is in order to make room for the new.

Any fool can wreck things. It takes insight, care, patience, and wise attention to create things. It’s much harder to do, which may be why foolish people end up avoiding it. Creation is always interesting, so much richer than the brief thrill of destruction. In times of destruction, note the spaces between, the overlooked blankContinue reading “Ability to Respond: Responsibility”
Strategy & Strength
Attributed to Hopi Tribal leader White Eagle (confirm if you know): “This moment that mankind is experiencing now can be seen as either a door or a hole. The decision to fall into the hole or go through the door is yours. If you absorb information 24 hours a day, with negative energy, constantly nervous,Continue reading “Strategy & Strength”
Creation in Chaos
Resistance has intended effect when it applies pressure that acts rather than reacts. Reactive resistance gives the thing being resisted something to push against, keeping it present. Notice what happens when you go under, around or through. Notice what happens when action is taken, rather than reaction being in charge. As things fall apart, spacesContinue reading “Creation in Chaos”
