#mindful

Our culture encourages us to plan every moment and fill our schedules with one activity and obligation after the next, with no time to just be.

So every day I'm mindful as I watch the Bush crowd extend their sway into policies of every imaginable variety, and over almost every square foot of earth, that the control of the American state is a matter of urgency. ↗

We must make every effort to neutralize this threat peacefully, but be ever mindful of the growing danger Iran poses not just to a safe and free America, but to our allies abroad. ↗
