I decided to repost this heads up so some of you may see this & listen to or download this show. Somehow this kind of program reminds me of one way that those of us who are willing to work WITHIN as well as WITHOUT.

In working through the multitude of UPDATES related to the "torturous" dialogue & of the essence actions related to torture, I ran across the following nugget which Jane Mayer recently shared in LA. Mayer is the honored writer of -The Dark Side" and chronicler of the Bush Administrations use of the lowest the USA has had to offer.

When the planes hit on 911, Mayer was in the gymn. She took notes & reported all day ending in a service where the minister said so perceptively and prophetically that the question before the US citizens would be: "how (do we) defeat this enemy without becoming this enemy"- She still has been taking that message to heart.

I would like to take this question to a deeper level...

Perhaps RUMI is one way we might continue or begin this internally (within ourselves - doing own spiritual work) as well as externally (without in our wounding and wounded nation) - how do we do this transformative work?

We may be surprised how much we might change by so doing? Now and for our children's futures.
