****** Ha'aretz, the Israeli New York Times: read this, god damn it. Share. Palestinians are fighting for their lives; Israel is fighting for the occupation That we notice there’s a war on only when Jews are murdered does not cancel out the fact that Palestinians are being killed all the time.

It is the example of others lives that has moved my life back in the direction of sanity, humanity, compassion, empathy, decency... the self into which we are all born. The lives of those like Eleanor Roosevelt, Malala, Teresa of Calcutta, Alice Paul, Dorothy Day, Gandhi, Martin Luther King jr.... It is only then that their words have helped me understand how to accomplish that move.  "Example is not the major thing in influencing people.  It is the only thing." Albert Schweitzer

Seen on Facebook: Sympathy is easy because it comes from a position of power. Empathy requires getting down on your knees at eye level with the neediest and feeling their pain.

***** I caught a glimpse of something very significant this morning. It is an evolution of something I've written of in the last several weeks. In fact, I was in a building with many many other people that speak and live in a very rough manner. A microcosm, really, of our broader culture. A vision came to me, nothing mystical, a vision came to me where I could see alongside each and every individual, in my mind, a tiny shadow self, the spirit of the child they had been, the spirit of Loving, awe, wonder, Brotherhood, reverence for life. It was evident that that shadow person was displaced by the worldly person. That led me to see that the revolution, the only revolution that could save the future, the only revolution that has ever been available, is to lead successfully a rebellion, the overthrow of the worldly person by that displaced shadow which is the loving child. That is the army that needs to come into power. That is what I must try and learn to activate, empower, raise.
