I continue to be interested in the Occupy Movement and how best to support and contribute to it.

To all...
As I read the hope tank spelled out on the inner lining of my soul,
water is crying out for a much greater attention than it's getting.
Here's how I read it.
Michael

PLANETARY THERAPIST
SPECIALIZING IN PEOPLE AND PLANETS

             Bypassing Israel's control of Palestinian water
aquifers and Israel's illegal occupation of Palestinian lands...
bypassing the global addiction to guilt and blame (and
the adversarial mentalities, the defense mechanisms
and wealthy defense industries the addiction supports)...
appealing instead to global ingenuity to find cheap,
Earth-friendly technologies for desalinating water, I
recommend bringing water to Palestine.  Bring it in from
the sea.  The greening of Palestine will both subtly and
radically shift the tone of the global environment toward
peace.  A global peace drama is needed.  Adversarial
dramas have been indulged so they think they own the
stage of the world.  Watching a non-adversarial drama
unfold on the global stage will help.

   Language that separates us from the silence, separates
us from the intelligence of our souls.  Sit with the question '
What is a word?'   When the question comes to life for you,
let me know so our work together can begin.  Explore with
me a new idea of conversation and a new relationship with
words.  Meeting with individuals, groups.  Call.  Let's talk.
