vital moment, vital need

The present crisis is exposing the values, beliefs, looks and landscapes that support the cruel, inhuman, anti-human System - indiscriminately tearing apart, crushing and destroying lives.

Mindful of the teachings of our spiritual guide Silo when he said, " May your future joy remind you in the darkest moment, that life searches for growth, not the compensation of nothingness", please join me in asking for the well-being of all who are in anguish, in pain and suffering for themselves, their dear ones, and for all of humanity.


WITH OUR MOST
PROFOUND AFFECTION
AND POSITIVE THOUGHTS,
WE ASK:

LET THIS
MISFORTUNE
ILLUMINE
THE PATH
AHEAD...

LET PEACE IN THE HEAD,
JOY IN THE HEART, AND
FORCE IN THE BODY
PREVAIL IN EVERY
HUMAN BEING...

LET WISDOM
KINDNESS AND
STRENGTH

ACCOMPANY OUR ACTIVITIES
TOWARDS PEACE
NONVIOLENCE AND
DISARMAMENT...

LET OUR JOURNEY
BE FILLED WITH
MEANING, AND
FULFILLMENT.

MAY THIS PROFOUND ASKING
FOR WELL-BEING
REACH ALL

WHO RECOGNIZE
THIS VITAL MOMENT,
OF VITAL NEED.

are like the opening or
closing of doors to fulfillment
or stagnation

Life's intention is to grow
as Human, lotus, muck and all.

in the dark again,
not to fester this time but
to reconstitute.
