A Different Way to “Never Forget”

It’s hard to forget where I was the day it happened. I was walking with my family around the fun center at the Bavarian Inn in Frankenmuth, MI, when I saw the horrific news that chaos had rained down from the sky and taken so many innocent lives. People were weeping outside the wreckage as others dug through the rubble looking for bodies. My gut was wrenched. I couldn’t believe the scene I was looking at.

May we NEVER FORGET how a United States missile killed more than 100 schoolchildren on February 28th, 2026, at a small Iranian school on the first day of war with Iran.

Though many have already forgotten. And I assume some still don’t even know it happened. It’s clear that Iran hasn’t forgotten, as the school was recently turned into a memorial, with pictures displayed of all the innocent lives that were taken.

“Never forget” is 9/11’s catchphrase, and it has generally bothered me over the years. I think I understand what we mean to communicate with it: “Never forget the thousands of lives lost that day and how America came together to grieve and heal in that moment.”

But given America’s character and response, that’s never been the vibe I’ve gotten from the catchphrase. Instead, I hear it through the lens of violence, blood, and anger. I see it through our immediate militaristic response of a “War on Terror.” “Never forget” has always struck me as a mindset that allows us to villainize and attack others when we perceive them as a threat.

But despite our commitment to never forget, I think we already have. If we remembered, then we would weep every time the United States crumbles another building to the ground. The rubble, the bodies, the weeping, the flashing lights, and the sirens would be giving us flashbacks of 9/11.

But instead of grieving the 100+ bodies of schoolchildren, we argue about whose fault it was, as we try to justify the horrors as an unfortunate part of war. Our anger blinds us to hearing the message in the innocent blood crying out from the ground of Iran in unison with the innocent blood of the 9/11 victims crying out from the ground of America. More violence does not heal their agony. It only stirs up the cry of more innocent blood.

If we’re truly never going to forget, then may we never forget in a way that heals the world. May our crumbled building teach us not to crumble buildings. May our lost loved ones teach us not to take the lives of others. May the violence done to us teach us to see a different way forward than more violence.

May we never forget so that we never reenact our worst days on others.

Winstanley denounced coercive government (“government by the sword”) and private property (“mine and thine”), and through non-violent direct action sought to create egalitarian communities where everything would be held in common.

The Geometry of Breaking or Healing

Those are the two options.

To be part of the destruction of that which is precious,
even the life of the enemy.
Or a conduit for the substance that binds up wounds and the broken-hearted.

Even when flaws cause me to hurt those around me or engage in broken thoughts and so, for a time, join with the razing power,
if I am repentant, make the necessary changes, and return to the healing stream,
then the danger of losing my humanity is minimized.

And, if at the end of my life when I am weighed in the balance, and my contribution to fixing outweighs the breaking, then I will be satisfied to rest easy in the knowledge that in some small way I was an addition to the healing sum.

Erica Chenoweth: Civil Resistance: What Everyone Needs to Know. Stay Unpredictable! – Nonviolent Resistance Is More Successful.

The Ball and the Mirror

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://www.pressenza.com/2026/08/the-ball-and-the-mirror/

The Archer

In the high sea of clouds,
in willowing wisps of white,
an evil lurks.

The winds of the world bring
the first whisper of change,
an alien thing.

A dragon.

Red as blood, gleaming darkness,
its armor, invincible?

Heavy metal talons, drooling jaws,
acid falling, burning earth below.

It screams through the sky,
wings creaking, flapping furiously,
breathing flame.

Men flee,
like tiny ants scurrying
from desecration
into it.

Only One holds his ground,
a bow and one arrow
in his hand.

The Prince awaits,
as if to allow the dragon to
devour him.

Then with a flash,
he looses his arrow.

It soars through the air.

Blood gushing,
the dart buried deep,
the dragon crashes to the ground.

Landing on the One.

From amongst the dragon’s corpse,
amidst dying coals and wisps of smoke,
a figure crawls,
stands.

It is the Archer,
the One,
Him.

From the collection “Words at 16 (1983)”

It’s in the Blood

In 1539, a fugitive former-priest-turned-Anabaptist, in his seminal work “The Foundation,” penned the following words:

“Christ is our fortress; patience our weapon of defense; the Word of God our sword. …Iron and metal spears and swords we leave to those who, alas, regard human blood and swine’s blood of well-nigh equal value.”

So said Menno Simons, principal leader of the Protestant sect which then became known as the Mennonites.

More than 500 years later, his words still resound with a mighty truth.

At the risk of sounding morbid, it has to do with blood.

While Menno specifically refers to the difference between human blood and that of an animal, his larger point is the “value” we place on the blood of another.

My point is quite simple.

Killing will not end through education, conflict resolution, or disarmament, though all of these are important and can help. Killing will end only when there is a fundamental shift in the mind and heart of those who kill.

For how can you kill someone if you believe that their blood is just as valuable as your own?

Let’s call it – for lack of a better term – bloodism.

The other – their humanity, life, blood – is somehow less than I, and therefore, their humanity, life, blood, is not as valuable as my own. It becomes quite easy then to justify killing the other, ie. spilling his/her blood.

The directors of death throughout history from every nation, tribe and religion have understood and disseminated this concept quite well. A person (and those like him/her) is described as having the wrong beliefs, the wrong skin color, the wrong gender, the wrong age, the wrong station in life, the wrong land, the wrong possessions, the wrong clothing, the wrong language —- the wrong blood. These others are not as valued as you are, the leaders of the macabre scream, though they couch their speech in terms such as vigilance, freedom, history, security, and truth.

Then the killing begins.

The Nazis did it to the Jews. Israelis do it to the Palestinians. Hutus did it to the Tutsis. Shiite do it to the Sunni. Palestinians do it to the Israelis. Sunni do it to the Shiite. Muslims do it to the Christians. Christians do it to the Muslims. This country does it to that country. That neighborhood does it to this neighborhood. This race does it to that race. That religion does it to this religion.

And any one of a million other combinations.

STOP!

Do not allow your mind and heart to be filled with bloodism.

We are made in the image of God.

ALL of us.

And that divine DNA resides in the very marrow of our bones and flows through our veins.

It’s in the blood.

La paix du bouddhisme

Pour les bouddhistes, la paix n’est pas un simple état émotionnel agréable, c’est la conséquence directe d’une compréhension juste de la réalité.

Ainsi, le nirvāṇa est un état découlant de l’extinction des trois feux que sont l’avidité, l’aversion et l’illusion. La paix bouddhiste n’est donc pas l’absence temporaire de trouble, mais l’épuisement définitif des causes mêmes de l’agitation intérieure. Tant que ces trois racines brûlent, dit-on, aucune paix n’est stable, seulement des accalmies. La paix n’est donc pas un événement, elle est la conséquence d’un diagnostic lucide, presque clinique, de la souffrance.

Une grande part du conflit humain naît, pour le bouddhisme, de la défense d’un moi que l’on croit substantiel et séparé. Le bouddhisme dissout l’ego dans la vacuité, il n’y a rien de substantiel à défendre, donc rien qui justifie ultimement la peur, la possessivité ou l’hostilité. La paix naît ici d’un dévoilement métaphysique plus que d’une fusion.

Sur le plan éthique et relationnel, l’idéal de paix se manifeste dans les quatre qualités cultivées activement que sont la bienveillance aimante, ce vœu du bien-être de tous les êtres, sans exception ni préférence, la compassion qui est la capacité à ressentir et alléger la souffrance d’autrui, la joie sympathique qui est la capacité de se réjouir du bonheur d’autrui sans envie et l’équanimité, cette stabilité qui n’est ni indifférence ni détachement froid, mais paix devant ce qui échappe à notre contrôle.

Ces quatre qualités, souvent pratiquées par méditation formelle. Elles forment un pont entre paix intérieure et paix relationnelle, car on ne peut pas cultiver l’une sans l’autre.

Comme dans le jaïnisme et l’hindouisme, la non-violence est le socle éthique concret de cette paix. Le premier précepte bouddhiste, s’abstenir de tuer ou de nuire à tout être sensible n’est pas une simple règle morale, mais l’expression extérieure d’un esprit déjà pacifié. On ne nuit plus quand on ne se sent plus séparé ni menacé.

Ainsi, la paix bouddhiste suit un mouvement inverse, à certains égards, de celui du soufisme que nous venons de voir cette semaine. Là où le soufi descend vers la paix par la soumission amoureuse à un Dieu personnel, le bouddhiste y accède par le dévoilement de la vacuité et l’extinction des attachements, soit une paix qui n’a pas besoin d’un Autre transcendant pour se réaliser, mais qui rejoint néanmoins, dans ses fruits éthiques (compassion, non-nuisance, service), une parenté frappante avec l’approche soufie.

Dans un monde où tout le monde parle de paix, est-ce que nous avons la même conception de celle-ci? Est-ce que les écarts expliqueraient en partie les conflits qui perdurent?

Underground – RIP MLK 4/4

A Holy Saturday Illustration

There's a sentence I'd read a hundred times. During injury recovery, it finally arrived.

Ahimsa. Non-harming. I could define it, I just hadn't felt it yet.

What idea took years to land in your body?

John Calvin, commenting on Titus 1:8, defines justice as upright dealing: ensuring each person receives what is properly due. True justice, he says, is a readiness to suffer loss oneself rather than wrong another in any way. In current debates over “biblical” versus “social” justice, Calvin’s measure presses a hard question: are we willing to bear cost ourselves so others are not deprived? How can you practice justice that refuses to profit from another’s loss?
