Change

I have been reading Healing The Heart Of Democracy: The Courage To Create a Politics Worthy of the Human Spirit, by Parker J. Palmer. I have only read the first few chapters in which he outlines our political position quite well, as have others in the past. He uses words well and obviously enjoys his use of language. However, as Seeger points out "To understand better the value of silence in daily life, and its relation to this spiritual transformation for which we yearn, it is useful first to consider the limitation of language, of words......It is next useful to contemplate the limitations of logical reasoning." It occurs to me that words are easy but we need loving actions. Again, as Seeger says "It [inner silence] is to establish an inner peace, an inner harmony, which will allow us authentically to contribute to the establishment of an outer peace and an outer harmony in the world at large." We can certainly take the necessary actions - I’m interested to find out what he recommends.
