Aug 3 : Living Love Through the Practice of Freedom
Living Love Through the Practice of Freedom Description A Soul Matters Topic - Where in your life are you feeling forced to say "No" when your heart really wants to say "Yes"? What is it that you want to use your freedom for? It's not the bars of a prison that make us want to escape; it's suddenly noticing what's on the other side of those bars that makes us want to get out. Do you agree? Facilitated by Glen Lakes .
Aug 3: A Memory of Peace, A Lifetime of Peril.
A Memory of Peace, A Lifetime of Peril. Eighty years ago the first nuclear bomb used in wartime destroyed the Japanese city of Hiroshima, killing at least 70,000 instantly and tens of thousands more in the days and weeks to come from burns and radiation. In 1986, Max McCoy was one of two U.S. journalists to be awarded a grant to go to Hiroshima and talk to those who had survived the bombing -- the hibakusha -- and tell their stories to readers of the newspaper back in Kansas. The moment profoundly changed him as a journalist. It convinced him that the only way to change things for the better was by the retelling of lived human experience. Now, a lifetime after Hiroshima, the hibakusha are all but gone. Having helped preserve their stories may be his most meaningful contribution in his long journalistic career. But to avoid the unthinkable, we must not only retell their stories but articulate our own fears and desires. What we are left with, now are forever, is a testament of we, the living -- to seek peace or to surrender to a nuclear nightmare.
