What's Your Jihad?

myjihad.org/

What is in your heart and mind the drives you, inspires you, transforms your world?

Me? Well, researching stories, lining up guests, producing 'Air Cascadia', for one.  It takes a lot longer to 'write short' than to 'write long'.  Mark Twain famously said, "I would have written you a shoter letter but I didn't have time."  Alternately, I could also say 'Squirrel Farm', a living, breathing 'Food Forest' and a 3-D paradigm for a permatural approach to life.  And my answer to the question, 'What's your Jihad?' might be as simple as 'Kindness': I strive to be kind.

So, what's your Jihad? And those close to you, friends, family, co-workers, ask them What's your Jihad? Get that beautiful, forbidden, hot-button word out in the Loud. Voice by  voice by voice by voice...it adds up to a clarion call for understanding, communication and sharing our common truth.

The more you use it, the more you defuse it.
