I am disappointed that the (somewhat) more progressive leadership we now have in the US has kept the terminology "War on Terror" intact. I've rejected that term from the start, because we cannot eradicate ideas, animosities, and practices by force. We may never attain true peace, but if we do it will not be through war. We should not use the language of a Holy Crusade to describe what must be an internal change for all of us!

This is a somewhat longer reading, again taken from The Universe in a Single Atom. Rather than viewing evolution as the results of random variations that compete for survival, we look at a different idea based on the interplay of energy and consciousness. The result is karma.

There is a lot to consider here in this short passage from a lecture by Rudolf Steiner. I think there's a connection to the earlier themes of sacrifice, in that we're asked to give love in the greatest measure possible without any personal reward coming from it.

Just a few songs from some carolers who showed up, to our great surprise. I think it's a nice old tradition.
