We Live

We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul.

You Cannot Change The Past

You cannot change the past 'tis gone foreverAnd worrying only turns your hair to grayAnd remember 'tis the future's all that matterFor we cannot change what happened yesterday.Don't harbour grudges for grudges only harm youFor a grudge like a cancer only growill feeling on you can become a burdenAnd you'll feel happier when you leave your grudges go.Karma will take care of all wrongdoersAnd all of those who harm others in any wayWill one day for their mistakes feel regretfulWhen to karma they will have a price to pay.You cannot change the past what's done is overBefore we walked we had to learn to crawlAnd from the book of life we're always learningAnd the future's all that matter after all.The past is gone and the past is past changingAnd let bygones be bygones so it has been saidAnd put more of your thought energy into your futureFor your happier days for you might be ahead.

The Shirt

I wanted to say Thanks to James Lane and Holland Vandennieuwenhof of WeareChangeOklahoma.org I got my shirt!

On his Blindness

When I consider how my light is spent, Ere half my days, in this dark world and wide, And that one talent which is death to hide, Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent,To serve therewith my Maker, and present, My true account, lest he returning chide; "Doth God exact day-labor, light denied?" I fondly ask; but Patience to prevent, That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need, Either man's work or his own gifts; who best, Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state, Is Kingly. Thousands at his bidding speed, And post o'er land and ocean without rest; They also serve who only stand and wait." John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674)

"HEROES"

Let me first start off by saying this is not a verbal attack on our uniformed services! Just to be clear I believe our uniformed men and women to are some of the best! Which brings me to a subject I've always wanted to write about considering I witnessed it first hand in Oklahoma City! The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said the changing the name of the Newwark Airport to Liberty International Airport would be a way of honoring "the more than 3,000 heroes who died for their country in the World Trade Center's? What about the stock trader, clerks, receptionists, cooks, waiters, and building maintenance people in the World Trade Center didn't they die for their country?. They died because they went to work. Much like Oklahoma City and other tragic events, we always tend to make the uniformed men and woman the HERO! We have parades for them, shower them with gifts, write articles on them and what they did! Name things after them! It really irritates me to see s

A Noble Lie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZt4SACTIq8 Featured Film A Noble Lie - Oklahoma City 1995 Noble Lie: a myth or untruth knowingly told by the elite to maintain social harmony, or the social position of that elite. The 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City was a direct blow to the heart of America. 168 people were killed, including nineteen children. For years following the bombing, thousands of victims’ family members, survivors, rescuers, and ordinary Americans, have questioned the official explanation for that tragedy. Largely ignored by the government and censored by the mainstream media, these questions will not go away until history records the whole truth and justice is rendered for all. A Noble Lie is the culmination of years of field research, interviews and investigative reporting conducted by independent journalists and ordinary citizens in their quest to find the truth. At times risking their lives and their sanity, the evidence they have uncovered threatens to blow the lid off of th

Fifteen Year Later

April 17th visit 2010.

April 17th, 2010 I visited the site for the 15th anniversary I was with a good friend of mine. As we walked through the memorial I could tell he was soaking it all in I could tell he was feeling the pain the anger and all the emotions that the Memorial has to offer. It was a privilege to have been able to walk with him at the Memorial. It is also a privilege to become a lifetime member at the Oklahoma City National Memorial as a survivor.

Meeting Visitors at the Oklahoma City Memorial

I recently was in Oklahoma City and had the chance of meeting a Memorial visitor! We walked the site a little and talked about the Bombing. I found it to be very relaxing to both me and him, the point of views we both shared as we talked. I hope that he enjoyed his tour and the wonderful Oklahoma City Memorial.

Update

Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum As the 15th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing approaches, it is a great time to teach students about the respect and resolve of a community and nation. It is essential for students to learn not only about this historic event, but also about the impact of violence and terrorism, the senselessness of using violenc...e to solve problems and the importance of choosing to do the right thing. The Hope Trunk is a great resource to teach these lessons by allowing students to view and touch artifacts from the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and the Fence as well as many other resources that help students understand this tragedy. See More
