Hope from exile to the promised land

From the work of Rene Gerard - I have found a perspective that names the violence of our culture. The culture is enfused with sacred versus profane violence. When we walk closely with each other, we will discover stories of amazing hope. One day everyone will know justice and not be frozen out to life as it can be.

I invite you to the following website to hear Eve Ensler's story of a better tommorrow!

May one day - we will name and discuss what we most truly fear!

Finding our way in a strange land

The attitudes of people are changing all over the world. Hope is beginning to persevere beyond the lamentation of the mass media, who continue to remind us of the catastrophe the very rich are suffering. I would suggest suffering is an oxymoron for the very rich. Perhaps their suffering is based on the shame they feel for the poorest of the poor who know nothing but suffering.
People are beginning to find creative ways to make new models of community work in many places. Giving up the need to be independent individualists, the world community will evolve in new directions for peace, respect and dignity for all who dwell with us here on earth.
