one degree at a time



So, what is a-just-ment about?

I'm convinced that the direction that we're on (humanity as a whole - which I'm part of anyway) is not a good one - that we need some a-just-ment. We can be over idealistic about this a-just-ment or we can look back, see the long trail of how we got here, and hopefully learn from our past and dream of an alternative to life as we would like to define what we fill our days with.

A - just 'a' thought at a time, not 'the' solution but a suggestion/yearning/search for an alternative lifestyle as the one we buy from the destructive market of self-enrichment

JUST- I experience and believe that the Jewish and early Christian perspectives of justice (as lived by Jesus, the early church, Gandhi, Bonhoeffer, Mother Theresa, Mandela, Desmond Tutu and a couple of others I hope to discover) can be helpful in restoring life - not in a fundamentalistic way - but in a very creative way in our own time.

MENT - I believe in mentoring, a one step at a time togetherness, learning from each other as we discover together. The hope - to discover and nurture life as it is meant to be.

See you along the road...

PS - I'll be the one limping...
