1/ I’m trending tonight because people are mocking a clip of my conversation with Jim Cameron where I told him about a conversation I had with some peace activists in the Middle East. There’s a line in Avatar about how the Mother does not take sides, just wants to restore balance

2/ I told Jim it was a very powerful moment & people in the room were nodding their heads. I told him that some of them told me they had seen Avatar. So the pseudo-intellectuals are having a hoot about that tonight, that I’m so naïve see, so ridiculous, so wacky & unsophisticated

3/ It’s much like when I said the PM of New Zealand would be my first call as president. “Oh she’s so stupid.” Like when I said we should pay reparations, or see our healthcare system as a sickness care system, or realize the scourge of environmental injustice. Such a silly girl!

4/ Well I have this to say about the Middle East. Our political establishment has not solved the problem, and it will not be solved on the level of the green line or traditional diplomacy or military action. It will only be solved on the level of the heart.

5/ There are people there who know this, who live ever day w/ pain & fear beyond what any of us can imagine. Sincere Muslims, Christians & Jews who do not laugh at the thought that they need a miracle. I do not apologize for telling that story. It’s not ridiculous; it’s important

I don’t always agree, but I do appreciate and respect that you bring a macro - or perhaps a metaphysical - view to political discussion. Punditry should concede that our cosmic situation is, if not absurd, evanescent. Love and togetherness should reign, not pain and separatism.

Going to take me a while to catch up. However you look to be #netpositive so far. As we need to drop the Dem and republican problems, sidestep the politics and start addressing real people problems that have net positive impact on American lives and the rest of the world.

Keep speaking radical truth Marianne. At a much deeper level they know you are right.

People like to mock things they do not understand. Forgive them as you say in your books. :)

@marwilliamson The only tactic they have for fighting you is to demean and name call. You are a wonderful human! We would be lucky to have someone like you as President.
