Thought for the Week

The world is a mess. So it seems. Or maybe everything that was hidden, festering, wrong, twisted and based on lies, is now surfacing and showing itself in all its various forms of greed and violence and un-truth. That could be helpful. How can you heal something if you aren't sure what it is? The medicine needs to be specific to the illness. The remedies I am finding myself drawn to are: Radical Truth-speaking, Fearlessness, Defense of the Helpless and Young, Resistance to Manipulation, and Voting with my Dollars. Every person's every action has an effect. It's true. Every small act of compassion, every brief moment of speaking the truth, every dollar, i.e., unit of energy, put into a pro-Earth, pro-healing cause, counts. Everything counts. Every thought, every word, every choice.
--Rosanne Cash (daughter of Johnny), in her online newsletter
