Brothers

“The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example, when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle East killing their own people – and people of other nations – for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn’t entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always be war between brothers.” ―Suzy Kassem

I will be a little less present here over the next few days. Today is Mabon (the Autumnal Equinox), and Rosh Hashanah begins tomorrow evening. I then have my brother’s birthday to contend with, which apparently involves me cooking him “something good” (If only I knew my track record would catch up with me! LOL. I keep saying “Wouldn’t you rather get something from someplace or go out?” only to be told “No, I want you to cook me something awesome.”, and then he lists 15 different potential things I should apparently make all at once. Poor kid, he’s in a total dream world with expectations like that!). It’s rare that the holidays all fall out on top of one another, but I am taking full advantage of it this week by seeking some serenity and allowing myself to feel spiritually centered. I will still post tidbits, but I might not do any extensive writing until the weekend, or maybe even next week.

Wishing you all a peaceful, even-keeled day. If you’re lucky enough to be experiencing Fall weather, like I am, take the time to enjoy it, because I strongly suspect we’ll be getting an early Winter.

Blessed Be~ Lisa
