Charles Eisenstein: “On a planet where the ecological basis of life is unraveling, and we are still bombing each other? That is insane. It is time to grow up.”

Amen and alleluja! Bombs, Badguys, and the Brink of Peace September 13, 2013 by Charles Eisenstein realitysandwich Why is the American public so unenthusiastic about bombing Syria? Certainly the case for war is weak and hypocritical both in its pretext and in its imagined goals. But that was no less true of the Iraq War, […]

Earth’s howl of ecstasy and anguish is my own

I sobbed all the way through this video, especially with the animals, and the birds, and the flowers. All so vulnerable and alive. Thanks to jhaines6.com. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouygVDstZwg&feature=player_embedded#t=1]

Miriam McGillis, of Genesis Farm, and one of Thomas Berry’s inheritors, speaks.

A Catholic priest of the Passionate Order, Thomas Berry inspired legions of fabulously radical Catholic nuns. I posted on my astonished participation in the Sisters of Earth Conference last summer. Here’s another, Miriam McGillis, a Dominican nun and her Genesis Farm, that “fosters Earth literacy and Transition culture.” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFmDZgnuM8M]

An Elder speaks. Thomas Berry: “The Earth is saying, ‘YOU USED ME!'”

Raw footage. Last time on camera, one year before his death, in 2009. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4LHYxKJTzU] And from a transcript from a video, 2006: We might summarize our present human situation by the simple statement: that in the 20th century, the glory of the human has become the desolation of the Earth and now the desolation of […]

From resistance to transformation. It begins. YES!

I put up a post early this morning in which I stated that I googled “swords into ploughshares” and came up with nothing. I (foolishly) equated that to nothing is being done to re-tool our society. A reader kindly sent me a list of “anti-war” organizations. WRL…War Resister’s League; http://www.warresisters.org/ WILPF; Women’s International League for […]

Analyst: “There has been more diplomatic progress on Syria in the last week, than in the previous one hundred weeks.”

Let us remember that the vibrational field that We the People interweave — through our peace-full, prayer-full, meditations, cooperative relations, and direct actions — structures the range of possibilities that can be formalized by those who take the roles of visible players in this global drama. US & RUSSIA AGREE SYRIA PLAN This is our […]

Remember: The war machine includes the media machine

Think of this post as an addendum to the last one. Best to just stay away from TV. BTW: I just finished reading an overwhelmingly inspiring biography by Todd Wilkinson, The Last Stand: Ted Turner’s Quest to Save A Troubled Planet. Ted Turner first became really famous as a media mogul with CNN. Too bad […]

Let us hear, and heed, the cries of “War Is A Racket” whistleblowers

It’s Saturday morning. I have better things to do than take 15 minutes of my precious time to reformat yet another piece about war for this blog. And yet I must. Now that we the people have apparently “won” — at least temporarily — a skirmish with the Military Industrial Complex over striking Syria I […]
