Is the blood on our hands or in our hearts?

Posted on Jun 20th, 2008 by OfMay : Golden Eagle OfMay
This post 9/11 GI Bill is the epitome of what is so vilely wrong with our system.

We are generating laws that are setups for the violence we see in the world. It is not some dark enemy it is the laws we pass and the amount of fervor in which we enforce them.

The ultimate muscle of this mobilization is the armed forces. Our government is bribing young minds that are, through media, shown doom and gloom all day by our amazingly corrupt media system.

Paying young minds money to kill for a corporate based military so clearly working against the very freedoms that they (the armed forces) originally made possible.

What if we paid an army of educated ecologists to help local populations enhance plant and animal diversity in all the regions of the world, including our own back yard’s? For a country that took that stand, I would lay my life down for.

What if we fought for people’s freedom to love and wed whomever and consume whatever based on their ability to do so peacefully with out unreasonable harm to self or others.

What if we had shown up in Iraq with eco tech and traditional with some modern medicines we would be in a wholly different place in relation to our sons and daughters, as aspect of a globe abundant with sons and daughters.

Through legislated and enforced laws of division we create a dark planet of fear and death.

Through compassion and freedom, we create the compassioned world of love’s unity.

It’s all choices and actions.

Is the blood on our hands or in our hearts?

Graves

How about this:

All who can dig a grave in there frount yard.
 rope it off add a headstone.

Banner could read How many children have to die?

How can we ask our children to murder?

It need not be six feet deep, a sugestion of depth would go a long way.

Vow

Posted on Jun 29th, 2008 by OfMay : Golden Eagle OfMay
I Edward John Leo Francis DiMaio

this day do solemnly vow

to take you, Hochma, the eternal aspect of my soul,

to be my bride.

To Love you honor you  and cherish you,

For richer or poorer,

in sickness and in health,

from boundless  elation to the greatest fears,

till death do us part.

This day I saw my fear of death clearly driving an insidious habit of chaining myself to my
perceived expectations of others,
In seeing that I realized that thwarting my Shem was in fact the death that I feared.
