Censoring Gravitas, Blowing Out Doors and Tearing Down Walls It Sure Smells Like a Right Wing Zionist Cabal at The Daily Kos Hi, In 1998 I began to practice The Presence of God as laid out in a book by Brother Lawrence, a monk of the 17th century.

THAT DAY Prior to that I was a Stephens Minister [a prayerful person who listens with their heart to another who is trying to discern what God is asking of them] and afterward a one year student in an Episcopal-Methodist Formation Program for Spiritual Directors. I knew going into the program that I would NOT be hanging out a shingle as an SD; that I was there for the curriculum; studying the saints and ways of prayer.

That is also when I began to write creative spiritual literature.



Before 9/11, I did not give too much thought for another beyond my rural community. I was apolitical, thought the world had already gone mad and there was nothing much anyone could do or say to change it. I lived a simple contended life in the rural South and have always been grateful to be an American.

But after 9/11, I wanted to learn why did a few-and back then it was but a few-people in the world hated Americans so much that they could cold bloodedly murder innocent people. I also wanted to do some good in the world and that led me to the Interfaith Olive Trees Foundation for Peace and then to journey seven times into Israel Palestine as of June 2009.



When I was a child, my dream was to grow up and become Brenda Starr, the red headed, ace investigative journalist, who was smarter than the guys, glamorous and headstrong. Star reporter for the metropolitan daily, The Flash, the fictional Brenda traveled the world solving mysteries and unearthing scoops. Brenda intuitively knew when somebody was not telling the truth. Brenda boldly went around the world searching for unusual and usually dangerous stories.

While Brenda Starr, is my muse, my role model and mentor is Dorothy Day, who agitated church, state and media in her time through her publication, The Catholic Worker, which persists today.



Keep Hope Alive is based on the memories of a 1948 Palestinian Muslim refugee from the Galilee, who does not have Jesus is his head; but in his heart and actions. Keep Hope Alive is also my spiritual journey as a child of the '60's and a brief history of what happened to the indigenous people of the Holy Land after civilized white men carved it up in 1947-see map below.



I entitled my second book; Memoirs of a Nice Irish American Girls Life in Occupied Territory: Third Intifada/Uprising: Nonviolent, But with Words Sharper than a Two-Edged Sword, because the following words ran through my head all during my fourth journey to Palestine in November 2006:

The word of God is living and active. Sharper than a two-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from Gods sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him whom we must give account.- Hebrews 4:12-13

Education is The Way to Compassion; Compassion is The Way to Change and: "HOPE has two children. The first is ANGER at the way things are. The second is COURAGE to DO SOMETHING about it."-St. Augustine All The Best Links updated February 28, 2011 DO MORE Than Pray for Peace:

THE BACK OF MY POSTCARD WITH THIS MAP STATES:





You don't need no love in

You don't need no bed pan

You don't need a horoscope or a microscope

The see the mess that you're in

If you open up your heart

You will know what I mean

We've been polluted so long

Now here's a way for you to get clean... The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see

The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see You don't need no passport

And you don't need no visas

You don't need to designate or to emigrate

Before you can see Jesus

If you open up your heart

You'll see he's right there

He always was and will be

He'll relieve you of your cares



If you open up your heart

You will see what I mean

You've been kept down so long

YOU think that we're all green

The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see -George Harrison, 1971

Sacred Logo by Sherwood Akuna Read more... A Franciscan Benediction: May God bless you with discomfort at:

Easy answers, half-truths, and superficial relationships-

So that you may live deep within your heart. May God bless you with anger at: Injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people,

So that you may work for justice, freedom and peace. May God bless you with tears to shed:

For those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war,

So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain into joy. May God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world; So that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
