April 5th - It's becoming perfectly clear that the public has no interest in this, which leaves us with two choices: a) stop, or b) continue. Sitting out with our signs at this point is really more of an exercise in humility than a genuine push to make this movement happen. Yet it's a wonderful lesson in humility! :)

Just because an idea is not widely received, doesn't mean that it is not right. If you take a look at most of the ideas that are widely received, they are often pretty bad. There are two realities that are occurring simultaneously. The first is the external - we are a small group not making much of an impact. The second is internal - we are fully alive and fully engaged, pushing with the wholeness of our beings to bring beautiful and loving change. Sure we could give up, but what would that do to our spirits? Would we join the multitudes of helpless or clueless observers and feel ok because we are acting more rationally?

There are wars going on in the world. The problems with the United States and Iraq are just manifestations of the real wars taking place within our own psyches. These wars have no winners, only losers - even the victorious are left with deep inner guilt and insecurity for an inevitable power shift. This is not real happiness. In order to find real peace, at some point, you must step off the battlefield and plant the seeds of true peace. If it comes in the form of a failed idea, so be it.

As long as the love and sincerity within are genuine, these seeds now being planted will someday reap a glorious harvest.
