“The era of manufacturing consent has given way to the era of manufacturing news. Soon media newsrooms will drop the pretense, and start hiring theater directors instead of journalists.” ~ Arundhati Roy We aren’t going to bring about any real change in our communities by using the same means that co-created our “mess” in the […]
Unlike “Bernie or Bust”, whose supporters say that they will never vote for Hillary Clinton if Bernie is screwed over in the upcoming Democratic Convention (and which is a political movement that is determined to get the established system to somehow change itself), “Freedom or Bust” is a SOCIAL MOVEMENT whose supporters have finally come […]
Even if the other is very different than you are; even if they are much bigger than you or their beliefs are much different than your own, Kindness knows that it is Right to reach out and Care. And even if the “muddy puddle” of need that those folks are standing in is far too […]

Kindness knows that a soft hand on the slumped shoulder of a stranger, or a gentle smile into the despondent eye of a friend, is the same LOVE that liberates the tortured & overthrows life’s tyrants. Kindness knows that we are ALL […]
“I am not sure how clouds get formed. But the clouds know how to do it, and that is the important thing.” ~ an anonymous child It always happens — no matter how we strive for a life filled only with Light, darkness follows. No matter how we claw and scratch for a life filled […]
