[R-G] 'Tis the season for peace :)

Tue Dec 30 14:32:13 MST 2008

Ni hao.  Happy holidays.  Thanx for commenting, and all you do and don't.  I agree, yes, and I see you are too!  All well and good, yet, peace could be, if "we,....", be it; as well, millions have been working on this for 100's of years   :)    From Eleanor Roosevelt working on the UN, and later,   http://www.wilpf.org  , there are 10,000's of groups.  Here's just a few off the top.... :)
Dennis Kucinich supported US Dept. of Peace initiative  :)

An injustice to any is an injustice to all, "we, the people...", can't allow it  :)   For e.g., the fundamental thing taught by Jesus was destruction and murder are of no profit or pleasure, something almost all supposed Christians are anti-thetically opposed to, as is your gov't; and a gleaning from Native American teaching, et al, all life are needed threads in the fabric of life.  Put your shadow behind you, give the gift that keeps on giving, a hand to a sister and/or brother. Yet, that will not be enough to realize the possibility of the stopping of the extinction of humanity and large mammals we can see racing towards us from the future, on the horizon; we must change everything   :)

Blessed be.... Twigs of poetree :)   

YOU CAN 
Talk the talk, walk the walk, and even
Be the be, but, if you don't vote the vote,
You won't ever be livin' in a democracy!  

Thanx  
While feeling sacred on
This All Hallow's Day,
I also feel pangs of the
Hungry, so wrought by
The profane; for the food
Wasted by us could feed
All the world's.... Yet,
Betwixt, in the mundane, 
It's only hurled.  

clarity 
Sword that cuts all ways,
Without, for, there's no cutting;
And a pointless point.  

normal  
I don't suffer, or, suffer from, 
Eurocentrism, northern malaise,
Nor, academia; a blood disease.   

Injustices 
Addressing, not addressing them have costs, 
the former is individual, the later is global, as well.  

ends or means 
Neither do I embrace.
Rather, the struggle well run,
Which uplifts us uncrowned,
Every moment humans race!  

Responsibility 
If you don't exercise it,
Its Siamese twin sister, freedom,
Will wither, like a muscle, as well.  

if 
One lived as prayer,
Their light adding
To the well of light,
Their every step in grace;
Leaving no footprints,
That will echo always.  

why 
As acid rain from your closed eye,
An acre of rainforest falls each
Second, and the earth's tears bleed;
For, all you see is grey.  

grace 
Feeling with your spirits hands,
See with the eye of your heart,
Hear with the ear of your soul,
And know with the body
Of life's knowledge,
We can be prayer;
Being forever answered.  

Tone 
Life's signs and meanings
Perceived by all our senses and
Being's foci of attention, can
Divine from within and without.
That's if our inner-eye
Isn't clouded by false-ego,
Self-conscious self, or doubt.  

Cityscape 
Hustled and bustled,
Still, hands only put to heart,
Beings, only art.  

Artist 
Their innerselves, stretched canvasses
On that frameless frame, the world.
They being painted by life itself,
With reality as the brush.
The painting ever evolving,
The frame continually changing,
Their beingness as gleaned meanings
For all to share; seen through...,
If they were there.

What do you think? "Painting is poetry which is seen and not heard, and poetry is a painting which is heard but not seen." ~ Leonardo da Vinci. Enjoy a festive eve' as you can. Copy, share, as you will. Lest "we" forget, if you don't exercise responsibility, its Siamese twin sister, freedom, will wither, like a muscle, as well. Sadly, now, it first needs to be exorcized before its exercised. Viva la evolution. Music is life's song accompanying the abundance of joy's Spring. I look forward to hearing from you. Goodbye. For those interested :) "of or pertaining to the morning, day: relating to or happening in the morning or in the early part of the day (formal), (Mid-16th century, from late Latin matutinalis, from Matuta, goddess of the dawn.)".  

Matutinally Yours,
