One Brave Deed
I’m so tired.
Tired of writing and bitching about everything that’s wrong in the world. Tired of trying to communicate solutions to wealth building, apathetic, selfish, self-serving fucks. Tired of trying.
Just when I think things are looking up, reality knocks me back down.
Yeah, I guess I’m feeling sort of stormy and cantankerous. Fretful. Dissolute. Like a rake. But I’ll dust myself off and be back. Just wait.
It’s time to step it up. Time to try something else. A new tactic. Something more direct. Something with some teeth in it. Yes, I’m calling for direct action against oppression and tyranny. I think it’s time to draw a line in the sand and say “enough is enough!”
Who would stand with me? Not many. Maybe not even one. Abbey once said “Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul. One brave deed is worth a thousand books.” That’s so true. But there are very few truly brave folks in this world. In fact, I don’t know one. Not one.
And just when I finally think I meet someone I think I can trust, well, it seems maybe I can’t.
Rachel Corrie was strong and brave. She was a 23 year old activist killed by a coward driving a Israeli military bulldozer. What an honor it would have been to have met her. Are there any more Rachel Corrie’s out there? Would love to hear from you. Would love to join you.

Well “mom,” I’m glad you stopped by. 
I think that’s good advice, especially for someone like me that tends to be overly cynical and see the worst in everything.
Balance is key.
No worries….
