"All action results from thought,
so it is thoughts that matter."
Sai Baba
Avoidance is one way to address conflict. We can look the other way, stop listening, or shut down, but this will not reestablish the peace we seek. We may not have the working knowledge as to how we can divert our patterns for the good of others, but we can be determined to discover intelligent application to our situation.
When we alter our thoughts from 'there is nothing I can do' to a different mind set of 'i will seek until I discover affirmative action', we feel our personal power return. We may not be able to shift the way of the world, but we can make a difference right here, right now, and right where we are planted.
The answer is community action. There are several opportunities popping up for like minded people to join in discussions. Discover small groups where stories can be shared. Begin planning a community garden! Contact representatives expressing needs. Volunteer even if it simply means picking up neighborhood trash. Focus on what can be done, and do it!
