Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
For there is nothing hidden that will not be revealed. Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.

See deeply the beauty and interconnectedness of all life;
then think, speak and act from what you see.

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
What is divinity if it can come
Only in silent shadows and in dreams?
Shall she not find in comforts of the sun,
In pungent fruit and bright, green wings, or else
In any balm or beauty of the earth,
Things to be cherished like the thought of heaven?
Divinity must live within herself:
Passions of rain, or moods in falling snow;
Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued
Elations when the forest blooms; gusty
Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights;
All pleasures and pains, remembering
The boughs of summer and the winter branch,
These are the measures destined for her soul.
-Wallace Stevens, Sunday Morning, 1915

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.

Here I stand by the keyhole of life,
Disconnecting, Disintegrating, Depersonalizing,
Homing toward Nothingness!

"Humanity now has the option to become successful on our planet if we reorient world production away from weaponry- from " killingry" to "livingry".
But can we convince humanity in time?" -R. Buckminster Fuller

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
"My heart was heavy, for its trust had been abused,
its kindness answered by foul wrong;
So turning gloomily, from my fellow men,
One summer Sabbath day I strolled among
The green mounds of the village burial-place;
Where, pondering how all human love and hate
Find one sad level;and how, soon or late,
Wronged and wrongdoer, each with meekened face,
And cold hands folded over a still heart,
Pass the green threshold of our common grave,
Whither all footsteps tend, whence none depart,
Awed for myself and pitying my race,
Our common sorrow, like a mighty wave,
Swept all my pride away, and trembling I forgave!"
- John Greenleaf Whittier

"And this, our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything"- William Shakespeare

A Measure of the Sin;
"We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and God is shining through it all the time. God manifests Himself everywhere, -in everything-in people and in things and in events...The only thing is we don't see it...I have no program for this seeing. It is only given. But the gate of heaven is everywhere. "- Thomas Merton
Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something, and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion-all in one."
-John Ruskin- Modern Painters

Re: “Local Filmmakers' A Measure of the Sin Tonight at Belcourt”
It is especially important in this discussion to recognize the unity of the total process from that first unimaginable moment of cosmic emergence through all its subsequent forms of expression until the present. This unbreakable bond of relatedness that makes of the whole a universe becomes increasingly apparent to scientific observation, although this bond ultimately escapes scientific formulation or understanding. In virtue of this relatedness, everything is intimately present to everything else in the universe.
Nothing is completely itself without everything else. This relatedness is both spatial and temporal. However distant in space or time, the bond of unity is functionally there. The universe is a communion and a community.
We ourselves are that communion become conscious of itself.
-Thomas Berry, The Dream of the Earth, 1988
