Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Small Acts of Kindness

When you say something really unkind, when you do something in retaliation your anger increases. You make the other person suffer, and he will try hard to say or to do something back to get relief from his suffering. That is how conflict escalates.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

It takes so little to get it started
the hate
the fear

one little word
one moment of rejection

one instant
when for whatever reason
(usually power)
we do something, or say something
to lessen
to erode

Repugnicans (repugnant aren’t they)
Libtards (stupid fools)
druggie
freak
loser

and so it grows
the fear the hate
fueled by voices on TV
fueled by lying memes on Facebook

so it grows
anger
and suffering
more anger
more suffering

but it takes so little to stop it,
if those who love the Sacred try!

so little to stop
the hate
the fear

one little word
one moment of acceptance and compassion
one act of kindness

one instant
when for whatever reason
(Spirit powered)
we do something, or say something
to build
and encourage
and love
