We must go only where we can be loved. War has never been that place. And this war, especially, is not that place.  Meanwhile, though it might not look that way, so many of you are loved and truly seen, here at home.  No matter how hard this is to believe, because you are suffering deep insecurity and aimlessness here, there are those, like this commentator, whose passionate advocacy speaks of caring so intense it is as if the very Mother of Humanity is awakening, and aiming to protect your prec...

Just as we knew he could not have looked like the plantation owner. Or the lynch mob or the “big boss” in any form.  Just as we knew he’d know how to dance. I am so grateful to the Ethiopian monks and their mamas – so easy, these teachers, to overlook – for knowing what is essential to preserve. ~aw

ALICE WALKER / CARTA Happy Birthyear, Fidel! Dear Fidel, This year we celebrate your 100th birthday!   As your sister from a suffering America/United States, I can tell you: You are missed.  There was something about your relentless resistance to meanness and stupidity, and yes, the mendacity of politicians, that sat us all up straighter, happier, more determined ourselves to carry on the fight.  The fight for food, justice, equality, freedom of whom to love, and whom to join in battle against t...

Brother Waters, thank you for teaching with your whole self. Happy Birthday Bob Marley.  February 6th.   The spirit goes on. ~aw The world is full of students and teachers. The beauty of teaching, of learning, is immense, satisfying, transformative and potentially life saving.  This teacher, David Icke, is so modest about the gift he brings, it is a joy to witness the affection and respect of his student.~aw Stars. All three.  Bowing. ~aw

Teachers of resistance are maligned and vilified.  This is not new.  What is new is that from continent to continent we can affirm or disavow egregious slander, quickly; communicating with each other across mountains and seas.  I will never believe the Dalai Lama is guilty of anything sinister; and from this account, he is not.  It is heartbreaking to be reminded in this talk of China’s mistreatment of the Tibetan people,  however, who have been teachers, via Tibetan trained monks, of so many of...
