Discuss: The Art of Dying

Three sides to this coin.
One side is WAR
The other PEACE
The edge SURRENDER

“We are all created and forgiven by the sun and wind and water. That in the shiny, wet eyes of the enemy is the clear reflection of ourselves. And that victory can begin with a lonely act of surrender.” Tom Montgomery-Fate

I too feel like I am just waiting in the darkness.  I am starting to doubt if I even know what “victory” looks like…
Thank-you for expressing a sentiment I’m sure is shared by many.

I was deeply touched by your thoughts. I was moved as well by the restrained, but quietly impassioned sense of strong conviction echoed in the manner through which you gave voice to them.

Thank you.

Art is a powerful means of expressing what we cannot express in words, and it takes great courage to express what we must in the face of such astounding apathy. Bravo. The latest issue of “Sculpture” reports on the censorship of several art exhibits that were considered “incendiary” (my word choice, for lack of better). Someone may well proclaim that the “Chicken that Ate Chicago” is subversive and must be removed.

Such a beautiful piece. I could cry forever rivers just from a word there or here. Thank you for them and for you.

To humanize ourselves, our country, our planet, why don’t each of us grow love in ourselves.
Create light with love through kindness toward all beings.

This is surrender.  The rest will follow….Peace in the world by turning ourselves away from the notions of enemy,’‘other,’‘terrorist.’

When we allow ourselves to feel anger & hatred & harbor suspicions about others, we breed little wars which boil over, spilling hissing faces and words all around the world.

Grow love and Peace will come.

I was also touched by your words. It’s really nice. Thanks for sharing it.

What a delicious magazine is this.
Thank you. I wish we could all gather together in Washington, D.C. to express our solidarity for communities filled with health, peace & light & fine education for every child. Silent gatherings for our dreams of worldwide peace, where all countries share the best of what they have learned & are learning with all other countries. A gigantic gathering of souls committed to the protection of our wildlands & wildlife; to compassion toward ALL BEINGS, in any size, color, shape, species.
It’s time.
