Twenty Eighth Day of Fast for Non-Violence; 19th Day of Ramadam Colossians 2:12-14. . . ."He set this aside nailing it to the cross." A photographer gave me some pictures last night of me-compare them to the pictures on my website from 12 years ago and I look worn, a lot older. I used to look much younger then my age, but the years here have worn me, like the velvateen rabbit I am torn with holes. I listened last night to one young man talk of the "demons" in the park; another share of being stabbed, and for me there was no right nor wrong, black or white in any of them--just broken human beings for Jesus nailed it all to the cross, erased it, as with me in my life--I have grown through the years because Jesus nails it all to the cross and I can move on learning. Being a vegan as been a spiritual process for me, slowly, but it is a symbol of my whole life--of growing, and becoming worn and torn, Will Campbell describes what the process of life is: When we are drawn toward a plant-based way of eating, it is in no way a limitation on us; rather it is the harmonious fulfillment of our own inner seeing. At first we think it’s an option we can choose, but with time we realize that it’s not a choice at all but the free expression of the truth that we are. It is not an ethic that we have to police from outside, but our own radiant love spontaneously expressing, both for ourselves and for our world. Caring is born on this earth and lives through us, as us, and it’s not anything for which we can personally take credit. It is nothing to be proud of.
