A bit of Good News
… or “The very best of Hair Days”
(06/04/2016)
“Going to Hell in a hand basket” is a phrase I've heard quite a bit these last
few days -- and for seemingly good reason ... Rampant animal cruelty (a.k.a.
“meat” & “milk”), America's next President (currently a choice between a bigoted
narcissist and a war-mongering sociopath), and the world's poor fighting amongst
themselves (instead of focusing their discontent on those who are truly responsible for
their pain) are all daunting challenges looming on humanity's next horizon ...
Heck, sometimes it really does feel like a good hair day (see Opus on the
opposing page) is all we've got going for us.
Of course, the only thing we truly have going us is the thing we always have
going for us – the ability we have every day to make Life more Peace-full:
*… the ability to go vegan (and start living a life consistently based in
Compassion); even the ability to protest loudly for animal rights -- to boldly stand
up for Justice and help stop the madness …
*… the ability to reach out to conservatives & liberals alike and remind them
that there are no more political solutions for problems caused by politics in the first
place; and also the ability to join forces with our neighbors and start rebuilding our
communities -- making them self-sustainable havens of Health & Caring …
*… the ability to reach out to all strangers with a smile of Kindness; even
the ability to reach out to the downtrodden – to the poor, to the hungry, to the
homeless, to the fearful -- with random acts of Respect-filled Kindness.
This is what I call “Love”, my Friends, and this is why I still get up every
morning ... This is the only revolution worth fighting and it is the only revolution
that will ever ultimately succeed.
In conclusion then, good hair days simply aren't enough …
We've got to WAKE UP to what is actually going on around us …
… and then we‟ve got to get out there and CARE!
