It is wonderful to have an inspiring President again. I hope that we as a nation see this as an award to us too. For so long we have been know worldwide as a people who choose to solve problems with violence. I am not just talking about the wars we have engaged in, but the violence in our streets, homes, towns and cities. It is not enough to hope for peace. It is indeed a call to action. In our everyday lives we can begin each interaction with the goal of peace. When we pass someone on the street we can think of them with peaceful thoughts. We can do so when we are driving, when we are waiting in line and when we are breathing. Breathe in peace-breathe out peace. In inspiring ourselves we will inspire others.

D.H Lawrence

This is an excerpt from the poem…                     

                    
Give, and it shall be given unto you
is still the truth about life.

But giving life is not so easy.
It doesn’t mean handing it out to some mean fool, or letting the living dead eat you up.
It means kindling the life-quality where it was not,
even if it’s only in the whiteness of a washed pocket-handkerchief.

D.H. Lawrence

I could not see and I struggled daily with my perceived absence of her – the concrete, the noise, the acrid smells of car fumes and chemicals, the shabby, the dirt and the forgotten left on the sidewalk like unwanted trash. Furthermore, with what seemed like so much anger all around me and artificial time eroding the spaces between life’s articulation, I thought Nature had obviously abandoned me in this lost cause that is the City of Angels. My life felt empty without her seductive display enfolding me. As I started to despair, a chance encounter, as so often happens, sent me a message from Socrates reminding me that walking was the natural pace of thought.

So I started to walk and a whole new world of possibilities emerged – I began to hear the sing-song chatter of migrating birds, from the parrot to the humming bird, I noticed the tropical greens and exotic colors of the flowers in every landscaped garden, the rich abundance of wildlife from skunks, raccoons and possums to coyotes, mountain lions and deer. I was simply stunned by the rich diversity of life around me, accomplices to nature’s design living invisibly in every oasis across this expansive concrete desert. It was a truly remarkable revelation. I shrugged off my despair as I returned to her delight.
