Yes We Can - Make A Change

Given the tenor of our current politics, McCain's constant character assisination of Obama and now his (McCain's) VP pick, Debra got revved up, joined the Barack Obama campaign and even started a blog which you can read here.

I mention this here and it might not seem like something that a Zen Buddhist website should "stay away form," when in truth - social and political activism is something that we can and should embrace to encourage positive change. Zen isn't about leaving the world, it's about being fully engaged.

Deb's initial post about her father who is an Air Force veteran gives a clear example about what's wrong in the life of an everyday American and something we need to fix. Our country has become a dilapidated house. Let's get to work on it. Yes We Can, Yes We Can, Yes We Can. You just have to be able to have and act on Hope.

Namaste'
