When I give up...(every other day)

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Say Yes to Peace

The only way to stop war...



...is to stop participating in it.

It's only when the soldier refuses that war will cease, when those at the bottom say--"no more soldiers." War is in the interest of those at the top. The culture will continue to indoctrinate with messages proclaiming soldiers as honorable protectors of freedom. And other messages that appeal to the desire for danger and excitement. The culture will continue to glamorize and mythify being a warrior.

Being a soldier means only one thing--you will be engaged in the justified murder of other people. By doing this you will make the world a far less safe place as your enemies grow because of your own manipulated and corrupted conclusions.

I urge people to go to their local libraries and other public places where military recruitment literature can be found and remove and dispose of it.

Discuss high school military recruitment with your children. Saying yes to military induction is saying yes to war. Information can be found via We Are Not Your Soldiers.

It is up to each individual soldier to lay down arms. It is up to the rest of us to work toward making no new soldiers.

Support the troops...when they refuse to fight: Courage to Resist

If you say you want a peaceful world, then it's got to start with your actions. Create that peaceful world.

Say yes to peace.

Into the impossible...

I sailed from never,
into the harbor of when,
and left the same day.

Happily adrift,
in the possibility
of the impossible.
