To those who think politics should not be allowed to impinge upon a rose-colored spirituality, this quote from Gandhi speaks across the ages: “Is not politics a part of dharma too?” Wherever there is suffering to attend to, the people of God should be.

Agree with you Marianne. Everything we experience is our spiritual practice, our relationships, our work, our politics and the state of our planet. No separation. All interdependent and a reflection of our state of mind and being. Continue speaking for so many of us.

There’s politics in everything we do.

Any kind of productive spirituality will overlap with politics by nature, because we are called by God to be involved in the lives of others. Jesus said, "Love your neighbor as yourself." If our allegiance is truly to God, we will be passionate about the welfare of his children.

Politics is part of life. Venomous conflict between those with different views needn’t be. America is losing its ability to listen, one fears.

Voluntaryism transcends politics. Visionaries and pragmatists can see this path as a way to a happier world.
