So it is good to get out of my comfort zone.<BR/><BR/>Glad your appreciating the dialog. <BR/><BR/>--------------------------------<BR/><BR/>Yamakoa, <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your efforts, the dialog has pretty much settled on the "Legality" of the Iraq invasion. I look at the legislation and see that the lawmakers made it legal. and Gregory is looking at the opinions and commentaries of intellectuals and calling it illegal. <BR/><BR/>Much bla bla bla and I am not sure the conversation is much of an aid to rooting out and extinguishing suffering anymore.<BR/><BR/>Oh well.SlowZenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10589294912054724123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37983535.post-61805245968079856832009-04-01T19:32:00.000-07:002009-04-01T19:32:00.000-07:00Jordan,Very Interesting.

By opening your heart and taking the time to share your perspective with said individual and the rest of us, the conditions are being created for the possibility of a more harmonious understanding (that sounded so hippyish, argh). Although my story is different from yours, I struggled with a very similar question. I have found some resolution. I hope you can continue to be patient with the inquires and I hope those that come forward with the questions come genuinely seeking understanding.<BR/><BR/>Keep on doing what your doing,<BR/>"Y"Yamakoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03457164215541063672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37983535.post-60384205139444796682009-04-01T13:24:00.000-07:002009-04-01T13:24:00.000-07:00Hi Jordan, I'm sure Gregory isn't the first to won...Hi Jordan, <BR/><BR/>I'm sure Gregory isn't the first to wonder about your military life. I'll bet a few Marines have been curious about your Zen life too. <BR/>I think your answering our questions about how it all comes together is a valuable service. It might help us all appreciate each other better. So thanks.. :)<BR/><BR/>~ Joxeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15090991809551162388noreply@blogger.com
