what are ways i can spread the news to others and care for the Palestinians i have met? i have been inspired and fascinated by what others have been doing. over here we have seen some works by Banksy. art is a great way to reach people. it definitely reaches me. check out this video from BBC.
i have been thinking about the incredible and scary power of the mind and the heart, and the combination of the two. on the side of fear, we can so easily be tainted and clouded by judgment. judgment leads to unreasonable action and/or lack of action.
over here i have been more in tune with myself. many distractions have been removed from view. in my relating with a friend, DJ, here i have been aware of the things that separate us and tools of relational hardship. we are vulnerable and fear sharing the things that make us uncomfortable. we fear misunderstanding and the unknowing of what others think. we worry about other's perception and try our best to manage the perceptions of us. why do we try to do this when in reality all attempts are futile. we are less affected by these perceptions when they are not verbalized but silent they are still existent. i want others to see the real me and like me. with my friends i want to develop clarity through transparency, an agreement of realness. through practice this can eliminate the fear. what if we could be completely free? i think we can try.
