["Patti Parlette" ] Re: (NJC) Music to lift weights by [jeannie Subject: Re: NJC Gas prices Hi Lori. I emphatically disagree. I think many individuals have tried very very hard, keeping within the democratic process, to stop this war. The media & congress are to hugely to blame for not standing up to this administration. It baffles me as to how these guys have so much power but they do. This last vote- the one before Memorial day- the house dems should have held out & their friggin 3 day holiday be damned, stayed there & put the pressure on but once again they caved. There is just so much we can do as citizens, working, raising our kids, writing our representatives, marching, writing the press, voting, volunteering. ETC. No, there are too many in govt & media who are collecting a paycheck & not doing their job. Kate Lori>>And, as far as I'm concerned, we (all of us, here, there and everywhere) have allowed this war to happen and allow it continue.<< ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 02:11:15 +0000 From: "Patti Parlette" Subject: njc, cloud illusions I wish *this* cloud illusion would become real! Just a quick photo: http://www.impeachbush.org/site/Ecard?ecard_id=1041 I've looked at clouds that way, thinking about how much bad would be lost, and how much good would be gained in living every day if that fairy tale came real.

I was so sad yesterday. My childhood was spent enjoying memorial day as the first day of summer. My adult memorial day is spent, especially these past few years, in mourning knowing these young men & women did not have to die.

Joseph a ecrit: "Thanks for the wonderful email and for making me smile." La plaisir c'est tout a moi. "Peace begins with a smile." -- Mother Teresa Thanks for recommending the "spiritually uplifting film". I will put it on my list. I could use some spiritual uplifting right about now. Right now! (NPIMH: Smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now...right now!) Love & Peace, Patti P., fading in a suburban room That "Joni goes to UNC" is such a blast! I wish! I hope Mariyln Nelson's son is enjoying his comp lit studies at UNC. I know some professors from that department because of the film series that we put together every year so if Marilyn's son is into films, he is in for a bigger treat! Thanks for the link about that poet's retreat. I sorta imagined this as some sort of Illyria like what novelist Alison Lurie said in "Real People". And also the films mentioned in the link you provided are very interesting. Looks like a gay and lesbian film festival usually never gets as much press from, well, the press when so many wonderful films emerge from it. Reading through the link you sent already made me copy the titled of films I should be reserving/borrowing. One last film endorsement for you Patti. As a Francophile in the List you will probably understand the mumbled French uttered in Philip Groning's "Into Great Silence" which is a docu about monks in a specific place in France. There were subtitles but I am sure subtitles sometimes simplify the meanings of sentences for the audience who wants to get the idea behind the words, but I feel that there are some nuances that are left out. Not sure if this type of movie appeals to you but it is spiritually uplifting. Close to three hours with minimal dialogues. _________________________________________________________________ Make every IM count. Download Messenger and join the im Initiative now.

I will do it 6pm daily. Thanks for all the deep passion about peace Patti. I watched the video & cried. My son in law has recently left the army to start a new career (he has a wife & 4 kids). He thought he'd be a career army guy (went in before Bush was in office) but this war & his time in Iraq changed his mind about a lot of things he once supported. We celebrate that he is safe. I understand how Cindy feels. She needs to have a peaceful life herself. It is amazing how much hatred, those who stand for peace, can attract. Maybe our collective prayers are the better option.

I don't lift weights but the song is excellent for my own sort of anearobic yoga like strenuous, repetitive stretches and spot training when my body gets stressed and tight and Caravan is a good concentration song with beautiful notes and harmony and a powerful voice to exercise [dance ] in unison with.
