For this first journal entry I would like to make the following paradoxical statement:
I am decidedly anti-war and pro-military at the same time.

I honor the way of the samurai and the awakened warrior and call on all brothers
and sisters in arms to unite in solidarity for the common cause of everlasting peace,
global justice, and world citizenship for the sake of human evolution and enlightenment.

I realize this is lofty but I believe with all my heart that it is possible and that
the power is in our hands to make our common dreams a reality in this world here and now.

I was told to pray without ceasing and my prayer is for redemption, deliverance,
liberation, and a revolution of hope for the benefit of all sentient beings.

B'Shalom,

Avniel
