"This photo was taken in Nubia, Egypt while our HUG group was visiting a local village. We rode camels to the village and were welcomed into a villager's home where we were served tea by a kind, warm couple. Their precious baby was being passed around by all the girls in our group, and I was able to hold her for about ten minutes. She absolutely stole my heart." Photo courtesy of Lacey Brown.
Make no judgments where you have no compassion.”

It's so easy to overlook things we don't want to see. Here are a few words from Brandon Heath's new song. He's asking God:
Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
I pray that God allows me to have a heart of compassion for those who are struggling with so many different afflictions.
There was a lot of concern among the occupiers tonight.
Among the couple of hundred diehards the weather was a constant in discussions.
A relentless rain fell on Occupied Chicago.
A driving wind brought deep chills.
Though the climactic conditions brought the numbers of demonstrators down by almost half from yesterday...
those that were there seemed strong and filled with the conviction that what they were doing was right and just and would ultimately effect some change.
The conversations were more serious and cerebral.
On the twenty sixth day of the occupation it's become apparent...
it has become a siege.
Many people expressed a concern that the bad weather would stop the momentum of growth that the occupation has seen.
Some people thought that it would weed out those with less motivation and conviction.
Others feared only that the tough conditions would be the demise of the entire endeavor itself.
Tough times are the measure of any movement.
I say now is the time to make a thrust...
now is the time to recruit reinforcements like never before.
It's not enough that the supporters of the movement show up...
everyone's got to bring someone next time.
Sieges are brutal and demoralizing on those laying the siege.
It would be wise to consult Master Sun Tzu on such matters.
Though this is a movement commited to nonviolence, the expertise of those who know how to command an army and occupy ground should be heeded.
In Chapter Two of 'The Art of War' Master Tzu says:
'When you engage in actual fighting, if the victory is long in coming, then men's weapons will grow dull and their ardour will be damped. If you lay siege to a town you will exhaust your strength.'
Perhaps it wasn't wise to lay plans for an exposed occupation in the northern hemisphere at the end of September.
No army exposed to the elements could survive a Chicago winter in fighting form.
It is what it is.
History books are filled with stories of the folly of such manuevers and prolonged siege will make weary the strongest of forces as the failed generals of time have shown.
Still... the ground has been taken and the best must be made of it.
Where can a decisive victory be had?
Some decisive victory is needed right away.
Should the occupation maintain it's position on LaSalle and Jackson and at the same time occupy another position?
A position more north?
A position in the retail district?
That's where the action's going to be in the coming weeks.
I believe small advance parties should be sent out...
to test the occupation of other sites...
to see what impact can be made.
Should the marchers begin sending out sentries to survey the field for positions of advantage?
Manuevers should be calculated in secrecy and implemented to the surprise of all observers.
The authorities know full well the barbarism of a Chicago winter.
They're counting on it to do their work for them...
so they can keep their hands clean.
Rally in the words of Hannibal...
the first to ride elephants over the Alps...
'We will either find a way or we will make one.'
Now is the time for decisive action.
Don't give up any occupied ground.
Occupy more.
"Compassion is Consciousness expressed through your actions and words. Compassion is the art of non-hurting. Compassion cannot hurt. Compassion cannot hurt anyone because compassion is Consciousness manifested. Consciousness cannot hurt anyone. Just as the sky cannot hurt anyone and space cannot hurt anyone, the manifestation of Consciousness, compassion, cannot hurt anyone. One who has compassion can only be compassionate."

Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
The heroic act of Second Lieutenant Richard Rowland Kirkland during the Battle of Fredericksburg in 1862 was astonishing but awe-inspiring. As a Confederate soldier, he was struck by the painful cries of the wounded, and decided to step out and help the soldiers from both sides despite the potential danger for himself. The causes of war are often complex, but humanitarian hearts can just be simple and unconditional.
