wow i really like this
I had a spiritual teacher who told me to see news as a prayer request. It's just information, he said, and we have to choose to see it as an opportunity to pray for and visualize a solution.
in a way it totally is... what a great perspective. listening to a news story today about nuclear war, it certainly helps to pray when we hear this type of talk flippantly thrown around by our cheeto in chief..
thanks for the tip about lee camp- hadn't heard of him! personally i really love amy goodman and the whole deal they got going, but yes always love even more progressive news!! :)
One of the things that really concerns me, though, is the way it can make someone already in depression spiral down hard.
this so much!
Indeed. That teaching has helped me so much. It takes constant vigilance to apply this to darth cheeto. Lee Camp is pretty fantastic. He got his start in the Occupy movements. He's like Amy Goodman meets Jon Stewart and then blended with an anarchist. Good stuff.
