Change the name of the countries and the story is the same, and perhaps, so is the ending, a sad one for all who care.
A repost from five years ago – “But that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone.” Of has it?
Brutus was an honorable man, Mark Anthony told his Roman audience, so many years ago. And yet, because Brutus and some of his fellow senators were discontent with their leader, they tore him and their country apart.
“When will we ever learn?” Pete Seeger sang of the futility of war, away back in the 60s and 70s, when Vietnam was being torn apart, and yet, today, Syria is being torn apart, and millions of people suffer destruction of their way of life, and, for tens of thousands, their very life itself.
And the rest of the world looks on, or rushes eagerly to exploit the tragic situation, for their own ends. “Everything old is new again.” Who sang that song?

A Journal of a journey, with Spirit as my guide, using
the wisdom of I Ching, an ancient explanation of change as a necessary part of life, to understand Life, and where, how, and why my life has developed as it has, and where do I go from here, and how, and why.
My mission, purpose, or desire is to share my struggle toward and passion for enlightenment, without having a clear idea of what it will look like when I find it, and I intend to find it, sooner or later.
Meanwhile I seem to be struggling toward enlightenment without a clear road map, unless Spirit, my constant companion (did He invite himself along, for laughs, perhaps?) is hiding it from me, for whatever reason.
Vancouver, BC Canada is the only place I care to live, in this world. Perhaps it's not entirely by choice. My name is carved into a nearby sidewalk, as if to remind me where I belong. I am blessed to have Spirit as a teacher. Just ask him.
