Poem on Tibet

The Red Stars Splashed Over Tibet

In 1940s,

Far from the east,

Wild flooded Hawang Ho splashed

The Red Stars

Like deadly blood

Over the peaceful meadows

Of the snow lion land,

Tibet

Land of compassion

Aloof for ages,

With innocent descendants

Religious beliefs engulfed the

Harmless creatures

Blessed by ignorance of bliss,

Unknown to the world

Sadly…

Became the victim

Of the Red splashing… Continue

No Bailout!

No Bailout!

by John Wilmerding

Prior to the illegal Iraq war, the USA was still floating on a global wave of sympathy following 9/11. The dollar fiat hegemony was intact, and the Afghanistan war had not yet damaged the economy.

But laws of economic equilibrium had begun to come into sway.

Following the collapse of the Soviet empire, laws of economics say that the one on the other side of the globe should also have scaled down. But it didn't. Instead, it… Continue

PAZ E LUTAS

Os índios Aymara, que habitam há séculos as margens do lago Titicaca, nos Andes, defendem a necessidade de sete diferentes tipos de paz.

A primeira é para dentro de si.

Consigo próprio,

na saúde do corpo,

na lucidez da mente,

no prazer do seu trabalho,

na correspondência dos seus amores.

Sem paz consigo,

você não está em paz.

A segunda é para cima.

Com o espírito de seus antepassados,

com a vontade de Deus.

Se você não está… Continue

Open mind to differences

Just as the fruit and the sap of a tree nourishes the tree, the leaves of the tree purify the atmosphere and the wood of the tree provides shelter for our bodies. Understanding these things is the beginning of the journey.This nourishment and shelter providing object is sufficient in itself, to the common person, interested only in what is it and what does it do for him. Having found nourishment and shelter for his body, and cleansing for his atmosphere, his journey seems… Continue

Prece

Torna-me puro como a água e alto como o céu.

Que não haja lama nas estradas dos meus pensamentos nem folhas mortas nas lagoas dos meus propósitos. Faz com que eu saiba amar os outros como irmãos e servir-te como a um pai.

Minha vida seja digna da tua presença. Meu corpo seja digno da terra, tua cama. Minha alma possa aparecer diante de ti como um filho que volta ao lar.

Torna-me grande como o Sol, para que eu te possa adorar em mim; e torna-me puro como a lua, para que eu te… Continue

Untangle

Current mood: optimistic

Untangle this world

Set it free

Uncover the voice of reason

And watch the world be

Blow away the dust of hatred

Of terror and war

Stop the flow of innocent blood

And watch the love pour

Thread the needle

Tie the string

Sew stitches of hope

Of faith we can bring

Do not close your eyes

It is not so bad

Unite, strengthen,… Continue

The Dove Of Peace

~Don't Look Back~

As you travel through life

there are always those times

when decisions just have to be made

when the choices are hard,

and solutions seem scarce

and the rain seems

to soak your parade!

There are some situations

where all you can do

is to simply let go and move on

gather courage together

and choose a direction

that carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles

and take a step… Continue
