The Silent Departure … (02/23/2015)
The time has come for Americans to engage the only form of revolution that will ever work — a revolution of Silent Departure. In the instances where the “authorities” are openly trampling the rights of the oppressed, we must silently depart with active & peaceful protest. In the instances where the wealthy are robbing the poor, we must silently depart by giving to those in need. In the instances where the government is subtly & pervasively leeching money & power & energy & time & fear from its people, we must silently depart by openly & consciously ignoring every one of their fear-filled mandates “from above”, and by openly & consciously using our money & our power & our energy & our time to rebuild our communities from within.
Our “leaders” have lost their way … They are headed over a cliff and are determined to drag us over the edge with them. Forgive them their hubris and their ignorance and their callousness, my Friends. Forgive them and send them compassion and wish them well on their journey into oblivion — and then silently slip away to start living a new life — a new life free from all their broken promises and empty regulations and hollow rhetoric; a new life completely filled with selfless service, intimate caring, profound joy, deep-seated peace & awe-inspired wonderment.
Indeed, this beautiful future is waiting for you & yours, no matter what “they” say to the contrary. The courage to step away and seize it is all that remains.
I wish you that Courage … Peace.
