“It’s no wonder we don’t defend the land where we live. We don’t live here. We live in television programs and movies and books and with celebrities and in heaven and by rules and laws and abstractions created by people far away and we live anywhere and everywhere except in our particular bodies on this particular land at this particular moment in these particular circumstances.” ~ Derrick Jensen
“So keep fighting for freedom and justice, beloveds, but don’t forget to have fun doin’ it. Be outrageous… rejoice in all the oddities that freedom can produce. And when you get through celebrating the sheer joy of a good fight, be sure to tell those who come after how much fun it was!” ― Molly Ivins
“So don’t be frightened, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hand and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don’t know what work they are accomplishing within you?” ~Rainer Maria Rilke

“The object of prayer is to evoke a feeling … that the miracle has already happened and our prayers have been answered … Our prayer becomes a prayer of thanks for the opportunity to choose which creation we experience. Through our thanks, we honor all possibilities and bring the ones we choose into this world.” ~ Gregg Braden
Anonymous, the Occupy Movement, and others are calling for a massive Worldwide Wave of Action beginning on April 4th, the anniversary of the assassination of Martin Luther King. It calls for sustained heart led, peaceful rebellion and creative action over a 3 month period, which will be very powerful and cause things to shift dramatically in the right direction. If you go to their website, https://waveofaction.org/ you will see lots of suggestions on how to get involved, including mass meditations, prayer groups and so much more. People from all over the globe are creating and posting up new events that will be happening that we can join in on. They have been posting up some amazing videos on their Facebook page (Worldwide Wave of Action) that have really inspired me and I plan on getting involved in some of the events as well as coming up with my own creative acts. There are so many ways to participate ~ so check them out and hopefully you will be inspired to get involved and spread this message to others. We are the tide that is going to turn this thing around and this wave cannot be stopped. It’s going to be epic. Power to the People!!!
Martin Luther King is a driving force behind the Worldwide Wave of Action. Check out this Anonymous video featuring Dr. King…
“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth it would look like complete destruction.” ~Cynthia Occelli
“…our ancestors devised every method imaginable to alert us to a single fact; now is the time of the most extraordinary conditions and opportunities that accompany the rarest of events, the shift from one world age to the next.” ~ Gregg Braden

Wow, how quickly the tables have turned in Ukraine. During a rally in central Lviv on February 24, local riot police knelt as they apologized to residents for taking part in the crackdown on protesters in Kiev’s Independence Square aka Maidan. Lviv, a city of 760,000 near Ukraine’s Western border with Poland, sent thousands of of people to Kiev to fill and defend Maidan. On February 19, the city declared independence from the government of President Viktor Yanukovych, who was ousted three days later by parliament. Volodymyr Parasiuk, a 26-year-old protester from Lviv, became a hero on February 21 when he denounced a EU-brokered peace deal and instead called from Yanukovych’s immediate ouster. Subsequently, many of Lviv’s police fled the city, but these men have decided to ask forgiveness from the people.
