  Re: The Tea Leaf Prophecy                            [Bob.Muller@Fluor.com]

Subject: Re: The Tea Leaf Prophecy

<We go on and continue to hope our species and the 
world we live in will somehow evolve into something better.  And, after 
all, 
'the wash needs ironing and the fire needs stoking'.  Life does indeed go 
on.>

True that, Mark. I think that every generation believes on some level 
that:
a) Their generation's music was the greatest ever and the music of the 
current generation is just noise; and
b) Why would anyone want to bring children into a world that is going to 
hell in a handbasket?

Like Joni says, 'sometimes I get that strong longing to settle and raise a 
child with somebody'...and the truth is that even in tough times, the joy 
of parenting child is an antidote to a lack of hope. There's always a 
sense of "I want my kids to have a better life than I had, etc" (Not that 
we're doing a great job of that, mind you.) But like you say, we continue 
to hope and strive for that. From my own perspective, raising my son has 
been the greatest joy I've ever known. 

And...another great point regarding Joni's lust for flight and whether or 
not she is trying to fulfill the dream of her father. I'm sure that Bill 
shared that dream with her often. I have more to say about that but not 
sufficient time right now. Meanwhile somebody else can step in and share 
their thoughts on the subject.
