The cure or the disease

It's a question that, i gather, we should all ask. Are we part of the cure or part of the disease? As a new age revolutionary one has to wonder if the two can ever be separated and, if they can, how? The great bigringcircus philosopher, Juancho, once told me that if we look at things around us - how much can we actually change? Where does it end? The war, the suffering, the greed, the hunger. Its a heavy load for any conscientious soul to say the least. But he wisely reminded me - if there is something we can do, then we need to ask what that something is. If we can't, we really need to be asking ourselves why not? So how far does our responsibility go? My guess is as far as your imagination will let you. That's the revolution, the evolution of our minds to manifest not an ideal world, but one that is based on our needs. One that is aware that we have similar needs, and that there is more than enough to fulfill those needs. Ending want and embracing our needs.

Bosnian farmers have picketed for over 250 days against 'free trade' policies that kill local economies and benefit larger multi-nationals.

Comrades in Britian have declared a war on want. That is their revolution.

The Aymara and Quechua companeros in Bolivia cause is focused on water privatisation -- water is a basic human need and not a commodity.

Our Papuan brothers and sisters are fighting against poverty and exploitation of their mountain of gold.

Desparate low caste families in India are struggling just to feed their children.

Angry French students are protesting biased labour policies for youth.

These are all direct results of the greed and wants of others. When is it enough? Where do we draw the line on the power we give our governments and these corporate giants who run our lives? Many of us are saying basta, many more of us need to.

Me....I'm here still trying to figure it all out. If i go with my gut, then it tells me we need to reconnect. Pacha Mama will lead the way and the indigenous peoples are our key to preserving the knowledge that will lead to the transformation of a sustainable and more harmonious world.

What, my friends, is your revolution all about? And if you don't have one, why the fuck not?
