Kansas Sierra Club printed another
vegan article of mine: Please share it with all your
environmental and social justice friends. You can find the whole
article at
www.peacetoallbeings.com. In it I wrote: “The heart of
veganism is the passionate desire to do no harm and as much good as
possible in every area of life, not just in what we eat. As such,
it includes dedication to all environmental and social justice
causes When we look deeply at all the justice movements, we see
the same desire. It is the desire to stop the violent and
relentless destruction caused by profit and power-driven companies
devoid of ethics. Each one of us must question everything we’ve been
taught and even our own thoughts. In that way, we can stop our
own participation in and support of these destructive companies.
By boycotting animal agriculture, we stand in solidarity with nature,
animals, and all people. We could never take enough short showers
to equal the impact of our switching to a plant-based diet. Eating as
though the earth matters just got a whole lot easier, so let’s get
started. There’s no time to waste.”
Prayer for All Justice Activists to
Embrace Vegan Ethics: We give thanks that the Sierra Club
and some other justice groups are beginning to see the natural
connection they have with animal rights. We give thanks that they
are becoming aware that we are all seeking to teach nonviolence and
lovingkindness and that animal rights is a movement that cannot be left
out of the steady forward pace toward justice for all beings and the
earth. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “Their freedom is bound to
ours.” Freedom, peace, joy, and justice for all animals, people,
and nature are bound together and we cannot have those things for
ourselves unless we give them to all. This week we hold in our
hearts a vision of all justice activists embracing vegan ethics,
realizing consciously what their hearts have always known. Love led
them to be activists in the first place. May love lead them this
week to bring their work into harmony with the liberation of all
animals from human domination and exploitation. And so it
is.
As always, with tears of gratitude, I send my thanks to each of you,
dear Prayer Circle members, for joining this circle of compassion and
shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all
beings will live in peace together.
May compassion and love reign over all the earth for all beings
everywhere.
Thank you all for your devotion to truth, love, liberation and peace
for all beings.
With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy Carman, and greetings from
