Kucinich is an inspiration. Individuals like Kucinich are rare in our world. This is a person who is deeply connected to our common humanity, and who is courageous enough to illuminate a path through our dark tendencies and their manifestations in the world. This is a person who can blur the line between podium and pulpit, policy and morality, politics and spirituality, all the while maintaining poise, accessibility, humility, equanimity and a sense of humor. His presence is one of greatness, yet it feels completely natural, comfortable and unintimidating. How fortunate we are for Dennis Kucinich.

There are many specific things that were touched on in the discussion today at Unity on the River in Amesbury, MA. But the idea that sticks with me most is the idea that what we think tends to become a forgone conclusion. If we think that war is the only choice, then we will not see the path to peace; we will go to war. Thoughts lead to words lead to action.

Hopefully I will be able to post audio and video of the event here in the next few days. I will also post more of my thoughts on today's event. I encourage you to do the same. Please comment on this blog entry, create your own blog entry, discuss in the discussion forum section of this site. What are your thoughts? Let them lead to words. Let the words lead to action.
