Putting out Fires … ( 06 / 29 / 2013 )
“ There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice , but there must never be a time when we fail to protest .” ~ Elie Wiesel
Just as the time to put out a forest fire is before it starts , the time to overthrow your tyrant is before he turns his chair into a throne .
That having been said , if we are too late and we see a forest fire already burning — even if it is a fire that appears to be “ too big ” to quench , it is Right to do what we can to help put it out anyway … And that having been said , once we open our eyes to see evil & corruption reigning down upon us from “ on high ” — even if the dictatorship is strong and resistance seems hopeless , it is Right to find ways to resist it anyway .
May we all have the humility to open our eyes to the ways we are being abused ( see , the NSA in our homes ) & manipulated ( see , the GMO ’ s in our food ) & deceived ( see , the TV in our minds ) & insulted ( see , the drone war in our world ) — and then may we all have the courage to Peace-fully yet Power-fully do whatever we can to Be the Change we so desperately need to see .
Amen … Let it be so .
