Some well-intentioned persons believe that rage and outrage are necessary for beneficial activism.
However, all variations of anger, while making us feel “sharp”, actually dull the mind and make us ineffective. Anger narrows our focus, and makes us blind to context. Anger exhausts and demoralizes. Anger destroys. Anger saps power.
Peace and radical compassion are the essential components of effective activism.

Sweet rainfall… I awaited for you to cleanse my spirit
Thank you for joining me again, I’m so happy your back
I’m in love with your sound,
to me it’s music of peace, the music of life and the calmness that I crave
Sometimes I place my head to the sky to feel your heavenly touch, it’s orgasmic in its essence
For millions of years you have left and returned, travelling the earth and skies
You make me smile when I’m down, it’s just that since a child we’ve grown closer and closer in this mountainous rainforest I call home
You trickle and drop and exploring unknowns giving life to our plants, animals… all life; for that I thank you
Consider my life to be that of a rain dance; you fit perfectly with traditional flute or hand drum
I will dance with you; the physical rain
And the rains of life.
Reigns of life, rains of life.
pouring down.
