Forgiveness

The power of Meditation

Good Morning

Thich Nhat Hanh shares a Christmas Eve talk from Plum Village in 2012. The practice of going home is a very deep practice. We need the energy of mindfulness. We don’t need a plane or train ticket to go home. There is a station – Radio NST – (non-stop thinking) and this doesn’t help us arrive home. Walking and breathing allow us to arrive. The more you are mindful and concentratesd the more pleasant. Help you stop the thinking and the worrying. Just walk and heal.

Christmas Eve 2012. I have Arrived. I am Home.

Locking on – the great Australian political tradition @ https://andypaine.wordpress.com/2019/10/05/locking-on-the-great-australian-political-tradition/

Much criticism has been levelled at Greta Thunberg following her address to the United Nations. She has been cast as puppet of climate activists.

Scientists addressing climate change have abandoned attempts to persuade people and governments about  the science knowing  that their efforts at truth to power are being ignored. No-0ne seriously doubts that human activity is contributing to climate change which will adversely impact life on earth. What her critics  believe (probably wrongly) is that wealth and power will permit them to  avoid those adverse impacts, They care nothing for the suffering of others.

Is it any wonder that Thunberg does not attempt to address the facts of climate change, but resorts to oratory and rhetorical devices, even some hyperbole and invective to make her point.

Lincoln’s “Four score and seven years ago….”, Churchill’s “ We will fight them on the beaches…”. Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream …” speeches are revered as powerful calls  to their respective societies to address the serious challenges before them.

Are the same oratorical devices to be  denied to a member of the generation which will bear the burden of climate change ?
