Green Money

Tough times for many Americans make good times for military recruiting. As military recruiting increases we escalate our military presence in Afghanistan. As we escalate the violence in this country we make new enemies. As we make new enemies the threat of terror increases in the USA. As the threat increase more Americans fear.

One distraction from this fear is the worsening economy of the USA. As our economy worsens unemployment increases. As unemployment increases people have less money and buy less. As we buy less the economic crisis deepens. As the economic crisis deepens more people go hungry, homeless and without health care. As all this happens, fear in Americans increases.

Also as fear increases we feel more helpless in working for peace or justice. We can talk more, buy a gun, be more frustrated, but none of these things really make much change. Finally we realize that all we can really do is talk less, listen more, let go and trust. If we are religious we say, “Be Not Afraid, Be Still and Trust in God.”

Creatures, like plants, cows and worms that do not think do not trust in anything. Humans and Nature determine their fate.

Our money says “In God We Trust” but we often act like “In Guns and Money We Trust” When we trust in Guns and Money we fear more so I say why not trust in God.
