first aid

i have tried a couple times to write about the california fires but i have no words for it. wifey was evacuated from del mar, cousin alice had to leave fallbrook (take the brownie recipe and run!), and big jeanne cant leave her home without a serious asthma/sinus attack from the smoke in the air. the los angeles area has been host to natural wild fires since before there were people here to lose their homes... and the fires will probably be here long after people are gone. if we are going to live in a place where nature is sometimes inhospitable, we will need to find some kind of peaceful relationship with nature to appreciate the occasional inhospitality. even the best friend is sometimes cranky. there are native plants that only germinate and flower after a fire. hopefully there will be a flowering after this disater. blesstheworld.com always sends the blessthebody.com spiritual remedy first aid to disaster sites to help those in need. how do you help the hundreds of thousands of people directly affected by the fires? you start with what is right in front of you. what i can do is this: every person who shows up to sunday evening meditation class at the blessings center los angeles this week will recieve a free bottle of first aid for himself and another to give to someone affected by the fires. come, meditate, heal.

war what is it good for?

last night i went to the blessings center early and posted my peace posters inside and out ~ even vandalizing the group of no parking signs in front. yoga class was meditative and at the end we lit candles and placed them along the walkway. there was food after and we all had a pleasant evening. commemorating disaster and death doesnt have to be morbid. what did you do to remember september 11th? this morning i read that russia tested the largest non-nuclear bomb in existence ~ four times stronger than what we have. i imagine that means we will manufacture four times as many of ours. war is good for business. the spokesperson for the russian military said: "unlike a nuclear weapon, this bomb doesnt hurt the environment." im so glad they are thinking of the planet as they plan to bomb the hell out of us! people are expendable but we only have one earth. the new report regarding the war in iraq states that shock waves from bombs dislodge the brain in its cradle even if there is no wound. thousands and thousands of soldiers go undiagnosed and exhibit serious memory loss, confusion, and inability to cogitate. shaken baby syndrome. this is like someone who has been in the boxing ring too long, someone who doesnt know when to quit. well america has been in the boxing ring too long ~ bring our babies home! it seems that georgie bush has never been able to cogitate ~ but he cant use as an excuse the shock waves of a bomb. nevertheless dont you just want to take him by the shoulders and give him a good shake?
