The tree of liberty

“the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of Patriots.”

When does this revolution begin that Thomas Jefferson auspiciously suggested?

Is it a slow revolution – a silent and subtle revolution – a revolution marked by violence?

I should hope not.

There are whispers that speak this, that if we all band together, we can stop the corruption that exists in our government. When will we realize our interconnectedness – our inherent and ineluctable unity? Before our polarities become permanent projected psychoses? I just need to listen.

How dangerous are these words though, if they’re not true and if nobody believes them?
