My Ramblings... favorite quotes and other nonsense :-P

"Revolution is not something fixed in idealogy, nor is it something fashioned to a particular decade. It is a perpetual process embedded in the human spirit. _Abbie Hoffman"

A very wise woman on care2 used this quote the other day, and it gives me HOPE... (thanks Eleda L.!)
"When I despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have always been tyrants and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible but in the end they always fall. Think on it. Always." - Mohandas K. Ghandi - 1869-1948.
"There are four questions of value in life Don Ocatvio...
What is sacred?
Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for?
And what is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same...
-- Only Love --"
~ Don Juan de Marco

"I am only one, but still I am one; I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And just because I cannot do everything, I will NOT refuse to do the something that I can do." - Helen Keller

It is important for each one of us to assume our place in manifesting peace in our world. Commit yourself to become an Emissary of Light and Love. May you live a life of power, and may all peoples of all religions work together to create the world of love we envision. Every moment that passes is another chance to turn it all round... Let the journey of peace begin...

Bide these Wiccan laws ye must,

in perfect love and perfect trust.

Live the life you choose and let live,

fairly take and fairly give.

Hearken not to others greed,

be blessed with what you truly need.

Merry meet and merry part, with a smile from the heart.

Mind the threefold law ye should,

three times bad and three times good.

*Consciously care for our Earth, our Mother,

remember that we have no other. *

And these eight words the rede fulfills:

If it harm none, do what ye will.

With good intentions pure to see,

thy shall be blessed, so it mote be.

(Even though this is the core of wicca/wicce law; it would be a far better world if it were everyone's law ... as one people. Be mindful of the saying... 'Tis better to light one small candle, then to curse the darkness. Live a life of honor, respect, and understanding).

I was raised to be proud of my pagan ancestry… grew up with all the legends and lore. I have always been happy being a solitaire, but now I would like to become active in the educating of those who do not know about the different beliefs included in the Wiccan/Pagan religions. I feel it is time to let people know that we are good, caring people, and not out to try and hurt anyone or change their beliefs.

*~"Sticks and Stones are hard on bones,
                                                      aimed with angry art.
     Words can sting like anything,
                                         but silence breaks the heart."~*

***********************************************
My country right or wrong.

My country to stand beside when she is right,

And my country to make right when she is wrong.
***********************************************

Peace and love, tears of joy, kindness of strangers…
All of your roads paved in gold by guardian angels…
Wherever you may be in this world...
                                          my salutation says it all...
"May you always have enough…
Peace and love."
                                 ~Quoted from "Blessid Union of Souls"

I am lost. Feel so confused. Not sure where to go or what to do.
