What Comes Next?


"War comes so quickly.  Peace comes so slow."
Why is this?  You can't tell me the first time a human
kills another human, they don't have a monumental shift of perspective.
Why can't it stop at that moment? (I know I'm being unrealistic, but, still?)
Why can't we express our discontent and return to a place of peace
as quickly as the violence erupts? 
Why do we get stuck in the horror of war? 

"I want to believe there's a place in all of us where hate won't grow."
I have planted countless seeds that did not grow.  
Why can't hate be one of those??

"I want to feed that place in myself. 
 I want to listen to that place in you."
Yes.
Yes.
Please and thank you.
Humanity has to find our wisdom and our decency.
We have too much evidence of what cruelty and violence can do
not to learn and grow and act accordingly.
I believe with every cell in my body there is a way.
Namaste'
