To like an individual because he's black is just as insulting as to dislike him because he isn't white.

“At the heart of racism is the religious assertion that God made a creative mistake when He brought some people into being”

"Blatant state terrorism"
“The crimes of the United States have been systematic, constant, vicious, remorseless, but very few people have ever talked about them. You have to hand it to America. It has exercised quite a clinical manipulation of power worldwide while masquerading as a force for universal good. It is a brilliant, even witty, highly successful act of hypnosis.”

Censorship
...I bought a movie at Walmart once.....the thing was edited. Pissed me off royally....I hear Blockbuster does the same.
Frankly....I have serious issues with Christians wanting to censor the stuff that I want to be exposed to.
I wish they would censor some real horrific writings.....

The Edge of Blue....
Skitters around my mind...undulating like a wave; breathing like the wind.
Under the surface of the sea lies a calm deep below, harboring the life force of the universe.
I am ever mindful of the tempest on the horizon.Under the surface of the sea lies a calm deep below, harboring the life force of the universe.

God...its happened again.........on December 6, 1989 the Montreal Massacre at l'École Polytechnique claimed the lives of 14 women.
Only women.
The focus was women.
He let the men go from that classroom to shoot just the women.
I won't ever forget that date. I was living on residence at University and I had just come back to my dorm from classes on a break to eat lunch when my housemate told me what had happened. Classes were forgotten as we were riveted to the television. Always the television with these things.
I never forgot. Will never forget.
Yesterday, a gunman opened fire at a CÉGEP in Montreal ....Dawson College....near Atwater....I know the area well. Used to go shopping in the mall around the corner. Bought a purse and a tea cup there once. Pointless memories.
*sigh*. WTF.
I can't believe that this happens daily to so many people in this world.

The coming Age of Aquarius.....I woke up....I was pregnant with my daughter and it was morning. I came downstairs and my husband was on the computer. He does that before going to work. My son was still asleep.
My husband said to me: "The world trade center was just hit by an airplane". I thought he was kidding and came around to his side of the desk and saw the picture.
I still thought that there had to be some mistake, so I turned on the television.
We joined the rest of the western world watching in confusion and disbelief.
I won't ever forget when the first twin tower fell.
I'm certain that you, dear reader, completely understand that I really don't have the capacity to encapsulate the emotions with mere words.
When the second twin tower fell.....I wondered if I would be around when the world ended.....and if it would start on tv like this with me watching.
I still wonder that.

Places I have been (Part 4)....
Stonehenge (Wiltshire, England)
This is me....10 years ago at Stonehenge. It was mine and my hubbies honeymoon. I loved Stonehenge. My husbands family live in the UK and came with us that day. No one seemed to quite *get* why I was so happy looking at a bunch of rocks.
I didn't want to leave.

Poetry of the Soul
I can't do it.
I can't write it.
I can't express it. I can't. Not truly. Not accurately.
I want to though. Desperately.
I want to explain how I feel when I look at the sky and see clouds.
I want to explore how I feel when I see the moon against deep darkness.
I want to express how I feel when I touch water and it enfolds me.
I want to describe how I feel when I taste ice cream and it melts in my mouth.
I want to embrace how I feel when I hear laughter and it makes me cry.
I want to write about how I feel to be alive and realize it.
I lack the depth of vocabulary.
Words are not enough.

| Solitude |
| Wispy clouds In Kaleidoscope sky Are the clouds really angels Watching over me, My children? Branches reach upward for something Like my eyes looking upward for something Beyond the wind and the flutter of the leaves At the tops of the trees  Beyond the first star. Three geese fly by and one drifts away Like I drift away Searching for solitude Longing for solitude. Maybe lying here On this sleeping bag In my backyard On this warm night Underneath the approaching fog With two kids running in and out of the house Two cats darting and playing Maybe I have no further to look Solitude has been here all along Under these angel clouds These millions of stars.

Daydream leads between reality and illusion
Of bright sunshine
Nature beauty beckons
Morning Sunshine
