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!

Perspective

Yesterday, a relatively powerful storm interrupted electrical power to 219,000 households in Maine. Today, some were told that it may be three days until power is restored. Globally, 1.2 Billion people have little or no access to power at all. Perhaps we might want to think from time to time ...

Fall colors

IN THE FACE MIRACLES

Right this second you are participating in an absolute miracle. The question is, do you experience it? If you are able to see, a collection of between 10 and 50 trillion cells are organized so well that you can see, read and understand these words. Can you "see" (pun intended) ...

Evil

Evil is a concept begun to allow us to act as if it were a force beyond our influence. Nothing could be further from the truth. The moment I realize every action I take is important, contributes either positively or negatively to the world, evil has no power. Whose responsibility ...

Ownership Does Not Equal Guilt

In the situations I have witnessed, there is no divine intervention. All we have is each other. We create our own problems, and it is up to us to solve them. Deliberately to remove oneself from this dialogue is a way of turning one’s back and confirms the sad proposition ...
