(more) trouble in paradise

me, myself, personally never get tired of trying to understand the israel-palestine conflict. i do think it's a metaphor for something larger that i am also trying to understand (humanity). there is also something divine about that space and place which i hope to visit one day ... there is even something divine about israel and palestine ... is palestine the modern word for house of judah? i am reading the bible (it's long) so maybe i'm getting too biblo-technical or something like that ... some of you may not be familiar with judah ... i encourage you to research (i am not spoon-feeding you with a hyper-link this time ;)



all that long paragraph to say: there is more unrest and bloody terror as gaza has broken the most recent 'ceasefire' and now israel has shut the gaza border (again) ....

all that to say -- unlike the mainstream american media, i will not be ignoring pain and suffering in the world. i will be constantly reminding us ... there is much to be done in the world. much healing ... love could play a powerful role in the middle east. forgiveness being the key to peace. and compassion being the road to forgiveness. and love of self the doorway to compassion.

until then i'ma throw the blood and murder in ya face!
