To my friends who focus on every conceivable injustice: I will paraphrase the formative partner of Dorothy Day, Peter Maurin, who harshly admonished Dorothy, early in her work, upon publication of her first newspaper edition of The Catholic Worker, 'whoever would serve everyone, serves no one.' She had put everything she had into that first paper, his words were crushing to her, she took them to heart, she never made the same mistake again. Focus is everything. Whoever stands for everything, stands for nothing.

***** If the body's healing systems worked only at the brink of death, what would be the result? Death, right? Yet only at the very brink of utter disaster do we devote our lives to making peace... if even then. How the hell can we wonder at the results? War after war after plunder after atrocity..... and soon, annihilation. The health of the body is the result of every breath, every second, every instant constant mobilisation, devotion, dedication, commitment ... toward health and away from evil. And so is the only path to justice and peace on earth. How can we keep doing this to our children? How can we keep doing this to anyone's children? Yes, just watch us, one last time. Denial is wonderful, no? Being cancer... is sooooooo pleasurable!

Notice: the cold is taking its toll on my online productivity. Out in the frigid temperatures from early morning until evening it is proving too much to use my hands as frequently as I would like. Hence the posting of israeli-american atrocities on Palestine are reduced, and horrifically the incidents are not reduced.
