Work

So what does one do, if that one if aware of the distraction, to be the change (s)he wishes to see in the world? Gandhi may never had addressed this question, at least in my reading so far, but I imagine he'd of said something like: "Absolutely everything within your power". We have been told we are powerless without our vote. This is propaganda, plain and simple for one is powerless only when they submit to a force outside them self. To vote is to vest your power in something outside yourself. How many times will we empower politicians who abuse our trust?

I will be hosting a discussion at the Daily Grind in Fells Point Baltimore on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month at 7pm.

I am returning to the public forum once again after a two year journey on the wheels of a bicycle, the strings of a guitar and the love of beautiful people around the country. These discussions will focus on the place of non-violence in our culture and seek to deconstruct the lie that is the American dream. I know not what to expect, only that I attempt to stand in public forum for peace and love, and oppose the forces that have murdered outspoken, eloquent practitioners of non-violence every step of the way. I am not as eloquent as Jesus, Tolstoy, Gandhi, or Martin Luther King Jr. so I don't feel threatened by anything other than a bigoted patriotic zealot throwing a fist. My only hope is I will be joined by friends of friends, and lovers of humanity, activist for peace, and the many who don't quite know what to make of current events.

I don't promote any particular faith but hope those who are of a religion and practice the love of their God will see this as an opportunity to spread it; love. The point is to organize a movement to the end of non-violent action; to oppose the forced sacrifice of Innocent men women and children the world over in the name of the American Dream, and to end the War for More once and for all.

This will amount to nothing, it all depends on you. "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
