Distractions
It is easy to loose the view of the big picture these days, to allow the US foreign policies to dominate our thoughts and conversations as they dominate the media. Still, there are other and far more important issues that need our attention, and these - not surprisingly - happen to be connected to the high profile events these days.
The main issue, as I see it, is the deep culture change towards a life-centered culture. A change that involves worldviews, language, and most of all our relationships - with ourselves, each other, the Earth, and future generations. Aspects of this change involves a move from control to partnership orientation, a shift of power from corporations to communities, and ecological sustainability on a large and small scale.
What we see today, with the aggressive US foreign and domestic policies aimed at intimidation and control, is the expression of the dominant system. A system that is control oriented, where policies and media aligned with the interests of large corporations, and where the interest of future generations and nonhuman species is ignored. Fortunately, there is an international grassroots movement creating a life-centered culture - and it is vibrant, creative, steadily growing, and fun! It operates largely under the radar screen of the media, so most of us only see glimpses of it, so far.
