(Deep bow, recognizing the goodness in each of you reading.)

When I first wrote these thoughts down, it was a lament, called "Losing Tribe".

I felt I had to walk away from my tribe and call back, this is what I'm seeing out here, and its not good. Knowing if the message was not properly spoken or understood, I would be lost, cast out by my own kind.

I wanted to write my family a letter. To tell them peace is really important. To have them sign a petition supporting the Peace Constitution of Japan (http://www.change.org/...) if they learned what it was about and supported it.

I know that sounds funny, but its not. I was a coward, I couldn't send it, I would be nuts.

Continued after the orange cloud...

Open Letter to Occupy General Assemblies:

Dear Occupy ___,

I love Occupy, and bow in respect to you all. Thank you for being nonviolent. Your bravery in the face of brutality is a message of hope for our children and their future.

I reflect on how to go from "changing the conversation" to "changing the system". The following are some ideas to regarding banking, employment and housing for consideration.

Atlanta Fox 5 did a story on homelessness in Athens, Georgia Sunday.

Here is the link...

Eight people live there now, it gets as high as 30. I think the story was supposed to be, "tent cities springing up everywhere because the economy sucks and hey, we have a tent city". The tent city in Athens has been there forever, 17 years, and the people who live there have their reasons for being there. Its in the woods along a trail, strewn with debris. A lot of drugs and crime.

Tent City Athens is a good place to start saying lets do better than this.
