Queens Crap: Trib: Bloomberg will not stop gassing until all geese dead

Geese Peace

Ahimsa is a concept that feels right. When you see it or read about it or practice it -you just know you are on the right track. A sense of peace settles upon you that is unmistakable. In one of the follow up stories on NYC's geese killing this past week (800 dead and an estimated 1,200 slated for slaughter next week) I read about GeesePeace. You can read more about their concept here and as you read their text and admired their art and ideas, pay special attention to how it makes you feel. I think you'll notice a sense of peace, balance, compassion and Ahimsa-that feeling of calm and lightness of being.

Thanks to all who have signed the petition -it can be found here and reading some of the wise words written can be enlightening.

non-violence / Ahimsa

In response to the bird strike that brought down an airplane this past winter in N.Y.C. a plan to kill 2,000 geese was announced last week. Many organizations have come out against this plan, saying it will not work to protect anyone is is indeed cruel. (see here)

A petition has been set up to protest this action (see here) and I very much encourage folks to sign it and pass it on to others. I have always believed in non-violence (in yoga they call it Ahimsa) & I think this sense of compassion for all things should govern our decisions & actions.
