Peace Archive - Dennis J. Kucinich

Article Title

THE MOST INSPIRING SPEECH I HAVE EVER READ. After reading it, I did a Google search to learn more about the writer, Ohio Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich. HE IS A TRULY INSPIRED MAN that all, Americans especially, SHOULD HEAR. I wrote to him and he wrote back. His mother is Irish and his father Croation. He said they loved each other very much but "fought like hell for thirty five years." Hence his concern to promote peace. He is one of 7 children. A very approachable man.

Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self. The energy of the stars becomes us. We become the energy of the stars. Stardust and spirit unite and we begin: One with the universe. Whole and holy. From one source, endless creative energy, bursting forth, kinetic, elemental. We, the earth, air, water and fire-source of nearly fifteen billion years of cosmic spiraling. . . . . .
