01.07.13 Day 5 Ecocide's Death, FAST: If there are Godsends....
... then this cancer of mine is one. Makes me cry, in wonder, awe...Joy,... Hope. Something's got to stop this Ecocide. Now....
CANCER IS NOT why I went on Death Fast. In fact, the systemic cancer diagnosis in December precluded me from undertaking another hunger strike, or doing a Death Fast, because it was so clear to me that it's "perception" effect would make it dramatically easier to misconstrue, misrepresent, defame, discredit, dismiss... 'Oh, he's just doing this cuz he was going to die anyway....' , effort. Whatever. (Sometime Truly think about, research, ponder... how aggressively we've destroyed, smeared, dismissed, castrated, neutered... the Revolutionary Truths about the Lives of the likes of Jesus (destroyed his Teaching of how to Live by turning him into a God - remote, (not capable of being followed), MLK Jr, Gandhi.... And, SEE WHAT THE MSM PRESS HAS BEEN DOING TO DESTROY THE CREDIBILITY OF CHIEF SPENCE'S HUNGER STRIKE. Google-news it.). "Do not call me a Saint. I refuse to be dismissed to easily." Teresa of Calcutta.
The two triggers that, to my utter surprise, and delight, enabled me, caused me... just 6 days ago, to see it was time, was Right, was Hopeful for me to do this Death Fast:
1. Idle no more - the Indigenous Nations uprising - right in front of me at the Canadian Embassy! And then a new clarity for me about Chief Theresa Spence!!! It's been clear to me since early in the 1st Death Fast, June 2012, that UNLESS THE INDIGENOUS NATIONS STOOD, NO ONE WOULD. AND THEY WEREN'T. AND THEY WOULDN'T. But then, there they were, in front of my face!
2. Diane Wilson, now on day 40 of her Hunger Strike to stop yet another Deadly Source of GHG - Keystone XL pipeline.
...MAYBE, MAYBE, THE BEGINNINGS OF AN UNVIOLENT UPRISING!?!?!? And if not? You know what? Too late anyway.(HERE, and HERE, and HERE)
So, my point above about the cancer being a God-send? Well, it is just that it is helping in a really useful way to heighten what has been true for me for my entire adulthood - my acute awareness that Life is so excruciatingly Short; so much to do, sooooo little time. Very clarifying. Very joyful.
