As we read the stories of Israel bombing and of our bombing different people for different reasons maybe it's time to look from another point of view.

I was raised by a old Seneca woman who taught me much truth.

1: No one religion has all the answers. Each of them points to Great Mystery/Creator from the perspective of a particular people at a particular time. Each of them has something of value to find. Seek out that value and forget the rest as mere window dressing.

2: No Nation has the answers to living. Each is a experiment in living in harmony with each other. If something is not working do not be afraid to say so, and bring about change.

3: No race of people is superior to any other. Each brings a unique  perspective to life. Each then is both necessary and  valuable in that each offers something of value in the process of growth  which we call civilization

4: Each and every person is a special viewpoint of Creator. Learn to seek out and find that specialness. Both of you will be enriched by this. Some people come to teach us lessons. Some come to learn from us. Some come to share our journey and some. come to prod us into action in our search for wholeness.

May you all be successful in your search and journey. Remember be gentile with Mother Earth, we are primarily her caretakers.
