Difference

What is the difference in starting an intentional community that requires people to be "alike" in most ways; that "excludes" others; and the behavior of facists?

I am deleting several nodes. My school has warned us about the possibility of firings for whatever it is that they don't want you to say.

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate it if you would share times when tragedy has been transformed into Grace in your own life. Your unprettied up responses from which people can draw their own conclusions would be appreciated. This would mean both the dark and light would need to be shared.

The shifting winds
of economic time
portend the merciless
loss of rhyme.

Rhyme's structure leads,
but chaos follows
the the empty nouns,
extremely hollow

Are whisked away

Patriotism and the United States of America

Sat, 30 Aug 2008 13:47:14 -0700

The only thing that seems to hook my anger lately is when someone criticizes the United States of America. That bothers me only if the person is from another country. I thank and applaud the person(s) who sparked this anger. I didn't know I was so patriotic.

Something's Up!

Hi Everybody,
My husband and I just attended an open mic session at our local coffee shop. Well, I sang solo for the first time in public since junior church choir. This was not karioke. Later, I sang for some ladies in the street, and gave one goose bumps. I don't usually sing in the street, either. Now I'm going to try to learn Ava Maria. I mean right now.

Friends,

I'm sorry I had to delete my post. I put my email address near the bottom. Suddenly, I realized a search engine might have it. Being a fairly private person, I didn't want the whole world to have access to the things I had written. The engine did grab it.

Grace Light

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 22:37:54 -0700

We walked the dark path to our sweat lodge where salt water, incense and a candle had already been placed, and the lodge had been smudged. Before the time of Grace Light, my husband sang the Lakota Spirit Calling Song. At 11, we chanted Om,Shanti,Shanti,Shanti, and visualized the Grace Light. We were silent for a time, as we watched the smoke from the incense take form: spirits, dragons and something that looked like the creation of the universe. It was all very subtle and subdued. We crawled out of the womb of Mother Earth into an enchanted forest of mists,infused with light.

Small steps sometimes lead to large results.

This is a quotation from the wrapper of Seventh Generation Paper Towels:

Reading a Father's Day Card to Ashes

Watches/Alarm Clocks

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 15:44:39 -0700

Hi Everybody,
It's been a long time since I've worn a wrist watch. Cheap or expensive, they simply stop working. Wind up or battery...they break. Now I'm having the same problem with alarm clocks. Wind-up, electric...doesn't matter. My husband has to set his alarm clock for me. I don't dare touch it. What's up?
