Title: A New Year

I've just had Jewish day of atonement/ forgiveness
contemplating myself, family, community and society

I believe each person gives & takes to mediate these,
each person has a complex web of living connectivity

I now believe that values are the gods we worship,
each person holds a conscience in this complexity

and on one particular issue I'd like to initiate this

I'm a surviving mid-east war zone refugee in Australia
I hate both active and passive consent to violence & war
I remorse my own passive consent to violence & war
I now search to find the strength inside myself
to harbour people that flee from violent conflict
I am sad that i sense most people consent to violence
I am distressed that our passive consent is the resource
I am distressed that i have withheld my feelings til now

please share your feelings and thoughts with me

with hope and good wishes for a new year
love Jason
