breathing the forest
African drums and people dancing around a fire. Cooking for sixty people over an open fire. Eating dumpstered food and talking about an alternative way of living. Learning primitive skills and resting.
More and more people see how our way of life in west is killing people in the third world. How our mines and factories are trashing every remaining forest and untouched world.
The only way to survive the depressing truth is through hope.
Hope is people dancing in the light of a fire.
Hope is people getting together to form self sustaining organic farm communities.
Hope is people willing to make the choice of not having a big house, a car and four different kinds of bread spread.
Hope is people choosing eachothers company instead of watching a new movie.
Hope is people realizing that every little step counts.
Hope is focusing on joy and solutions instead of hatred and problems.
Hope is seeing that people can work together in harmony cooking and gathering fire wood and making decisions.
Hope is seeing the pain of the earth and its people and still daring to laugh and dance and cry and find new ways of living.
Hope is taking action based on love and respect and a trust that if one person changes their heart, mind and life, others will follow.
Hope is fighting violence with love.
Hope is listening to people like Richard Rohr.
"You can never solve a problem with the same mentality that caused it."

China, Japan, Malaysia and many other countries are contributing to the pollution that is changing the earth. We in the west do not have a monopoly on that one. Hope and despair are two sides of the same coin. Love joins all, is all and that’s all. Conclusions mute objectivity. Every truth is always present and conclusions such as “Depressing truth” appear rather one-sided. Gloom and doom as well as sunny blue skies adorn each and every day. We see with the light that shines within us. Be that light then hope is found by others within you.
Did you meet Richard Rohr or just read him? He is the coolest bearded guy I know...
