Peace

What is it? Why do we take it for granted?
Or, do we take it for granted?
Whatever the case may be, war is steady
Peace is fragile.
Does the human race have some lesson to learn here?

We never seem to ‘get it right’.
Could this possibly be BECAUSE OF US?
The cycle goes on, like a trip around the moon
We discover our own dune buggy but it is on a different side, the same side from whence we started.
How is it that we see things differently in time and space? Things really aren't different, but we ‘think’ we have progress, we think we see things differently, ‘now’ or ‘this time around’.

I’m reminded of what Wayne Dyer said of  human nature i.e. the human race,
“When you live on a round planet, there is no choosing sides.
Christ said something similar in the Gnostic Gospels,
“Where the end is, there will the beginning be.”
Consciousness may ‘be’ the secret to bringing the human race closer together, if there is such a thing.

Beginnings come at the closure of endings. The universe resolves itself this way.
We end war, and THAT is where peace begins, Likewise we end PEACE,
that is where war begins.  In reality, there is no beginning, no end, there is only us: "Consciousness"

It’s easy to say, “I don’t care about those people OVER THERE”. But Lao and Christ would say back to us, “the first shall be last... AND... the last shall be first”, This holds true, whether in war, peace or resources etc. Today we have poverty, climate changes, and great riches? But what does this all mean? Is it merely just a cycle? You can't take it with you, as the saying goes.

Maybe we have something to learn about 'ourselves' and the planet? Maybe war is nothing more that an inability to recognize 'ourselves?' If we wake up 'ourselves' maybe we can wake up the planet as well? We are not all there is to the cosmos. Maybe this is what it means by making peace?

Love Lives Long After  (A Re-blog from 2011)  by Dewaine Wakeman Well, its finally over: Valentine’s day 2011 draws to a close. Chocolate candies and candles have been cleared off, cards and packages are tucked well away,  hugs and kisses have subsided, the gourmet meals have all been served - and the day, in its totality,  even those intimate moments, (forgive the mention)  are now finished for everyone. And what about the day of love itself?  Why do we celebrate it? Why do we confine it to the celebration of a single day, and a predictable day at that? Would the saints and the poets view this day with any more or any less skepticism? I’m thinking of my father. A few years ago, he made a personal wedding gift for my mother. I was awe struck by his thoughtful gift,  as any reflective person would have been.  He delivered it to her perfectly on the day without fan fare of their anniversary, coming home from work,  with no big speeches at all, or

Sincerity, Think of all the salutations, the world contains, we always sign these at the end our letters to other people, to seal the deal, if you will, to let others to know our true intentions. everything from Forever Yours, to Best Friend Forever etc. etc. I always think of love as something of a lasting quality. A quality to admire, something with teeth to it per se. As for my experiences on the Internet, I've been called everything from " Baby" to "Sugar" to " My Hun" to "my friend" to "my love" However the words never lasted past a month in most cases. I am reminded a bit of some choice words of a wise adage, What you are (you're sincerity in this case) speaks so loudly....I cannot hear what YOU say? I think sincerity IN ITS TOTALITY begins with us and not in the often insincere words we say ALONE. words that get said one to another for example. Sincerity ultimately is measured intrinsically

"Lifestyles of the Poor and Broke" by Dewaine Wakeman   Thrift – its amazing what you can do. Internet? (We all can do that.) Exercise? (We all can do that too. Who needs a health club membership?) Transportation (We all can do that - several ways) Shelter (We all can find our means I suppose if we are smart about it.) We can have everything a responsible adult can have or a homeless person could enjoy if we are careful, this is still America after all. So who am I? I’m many of you. I’m your neighbor. Won’t you be my neighbor?  I’m really good at getting by. Let’s start with exercise: Bicycle or walk? ( no gasoline or auto insurance needed) Cutting firewood (no fuel bills – fire up the wood stove, campfires work too if you live in the deep south). Entertainment? There’s digital televison, you either get the signal or you won't. Btw it’s crystal clear nowadays should you be lucky enough to
