“One of the key words Gandhi used in expressing the meaning of nonviolence was ahimsa, literally ‘non-harm,’ the refusal to hurt others. It’s the rock bottom of nonviolence. A second key word was satyagraha (a combination of the words for ‘truth’ and ‘holding firmly’) sometimes called ‘truth force,’ holding on to what is true and good, striving to bring about more humane conditions for people and society. King called it ‘soul force.’”
—Dr. Gerard Vanderhaar
Are we on the brink of a nation-wide recognition, an awakening (call it revival if you like) of what America is becoming as a society and commit our energies to reversing the downward spiral of violence and hatred? Or are we destined to fall, like many before us, to anarchy and despotism at the hands of a minority too blind to see the equality of all the nation’s people? This is not just a Pride issue or a black issue, or a poor people’s issue that we must address. It is an issue of ‘SOUL FORCE’.
What will be revealed in the coming months about the soul of America?

The answer to that question worries me more than a little.
