Long Time Gone

It's been a while sense I have have blogged there have been many things pulling my attention. Most of them veterans related. I have been speaking to vet group and doing workshop of my own as well as educating my self at others. It has become more clear to me lately that what is missing in the healing equation for vets when the come home with PTSD or some other war related wound is that society has no idea how to deal with them. There is no issue in the all of mankind that is bigger than war. It boils right down to the fact that war is about life death and lots of pain and we are to small to be able to encompass such a huge frightening thing as war so we stick out small ostrich head with our ipod earplugs into the softest pile of sand we can find and hope when we pull it back up the vets will have gone away. Problem is that they don't, they are still there and infact the have begun to infect all of us with their pain. The missing peice is a way to see the war issue from a larger perspective then we have. In order to generate any hope in the conditions of war and the afteraffects of war we need to have a vantage point of the soul, higher self, or God view or we remain stuck in the trenches looking at each other with hate and rage and hoplessness. The chaplin has become a pivital role in the miliatary and their job is to get men stabalized so they can return to battle. What a job this has to be for consious men and woman to ask their fellow human beings to offer up their lives for causes that have become so complicated that no one seems to understand them.

Just a few thougth that have been stirring would love to have some feed back.
