How Despicable and Ignoble War is- Albert Einstein

"He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

    Thank you for introducing me to your blog Jude. The pictures of fungi are wonderful and your aim (quoted below) will be attractive to many readers of this blog.

    "CREATION, nature, planets, the spirit of all that is. All posts here will be grounded in practical ways to apply the wisdom of Creation, indigenous peoples, and deeper dimensions of connection with all that is."

    Thank you.
