~Thought of the Day~

"Nonviolence in its dynamic condition means conscious suffering. It does not mean meek submission to the will of the evildoer, but it means the pitting of one's whole soul against the will of the tyrant. Working under this law of our being, it is possible for a single individual to defy the whole might of an unjust empire to save his honour, his religion, his soul and lay the foundation for that empire's fall or regeneration", wrote Gandhi.

The question

Sacred activism. The perfect fusion of the political with the spiritual. Andrew Harvey's new book entitled "The Hope" focuses on this theme. We are called on this planet to be agents of change, agents of peace and justice. Whether we realize it or not, this is our purpose. Everyone's vision of how that will look is different. I remember one time I met a man who when asked if he was a musician, he responded with, "I pray through music." That was his service. What do you pray through?
