From what I've > said, does anyone know if this belief system is > expressed in any known religion? I think the native American religions would easily agree with what you have said. Also Taoism, at least in it's pure form. The Tao is the Way of Life, the Power, the Great Spirit. Elements of Buddhism and Hinduism identify lifeforce in all things, even rocks. Here are some interesting facts about religion I recently found in the Guinness Book of World Records: Christianity is the world's largest religion, with 33% of the world population, or nearly 2 billion adherants. About half of those are Roman Catholic. Islam is next with over 1 billion followers. The Baha'i faith (6 million) has no ceremonies, sacraments, or clergy and emphasizes the importance of all religions and the spiritual unity of all humanity. It was started by a couple of Iranian dudes. Billy Graham's "Decision Hour", on the radio since 1957, attracts an average audience of 20 million. Pope John Paul II has the record for creating the most saints-10 times more than any other.283 people canonized and 805 beautified (given the title "Blessed"). Aztecs have the sacrifice record, believed to have killed 20,000 during the dedication of the great temple in 1486 in honor of their war god. And, if they turned this into a religion, I would join: Biggest food fight: In 1998, 30,000 Spaniards had a giant tomato fight with 90 tons of tomatoes. Joni is mentioned in the Guinness Book BTW, but not for holding a record. Willie Nelson has the record for the most duets with other artists, including Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Joni, and others, 100 in all (in 2000, more now).

I wanted to let walt know that the song " suzanne " waswritten by leonard cohen. Speaking of leonard, someone mentioned a photo in an earlier post of joni and leonard at the newport folk festival in "67. (the photo was by david gahr.) I have a small paper back book entitled, "joni mitchell: her life, her loves, her music, " by leonore fleischer , published in 1976. it is filled with wonderful photos including the one mentioned in the post. I received it from a friend the year it was published and have always cherished it for the photos. It is in a 7" x 10" format and was published by flash books,is anyone familiar with it ?" Warren, I happened to have found this book about ten years ago at an antique shop on Lake Avenue in Rochester NY, right near lake Ontario. I've never seen it anywhere else, nor have I heard anyone ever mention it. It was a find. I love the picture of her on the cover. I am compelled now to share a few of Joni's quotes from the book. . . for those who haven't heard them . . . and for those who find inspiration in hearing them again: "the most important thing," said Joni Mitchell, "is to write in your own blood. . ." "Freedom to me is the luxury of being able to follow the path of the heart. I think that's the only way that you maintain the magic in your life, that you keep your child alive." Freedom is necessary for me in order to create, and if I don't create, I don't feel alive." best to you, with love Marianne _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2002 13:34:46 -0800 From: "Kate Bennett" Subject: energy & martinis >>I have this sense that some people have interpreted my remarks about it being expensive to mean that I am either opposing it or am trying to discourage it.<<< Not at all Kakki..I appreciate your courage in expressing your opinions on this matter, but this doesn't come across as you opposing the issue in my opinion. >Counting on enjoying a big ole Martini at Jonifest this year!< After which I hope we can convince her to share some of her hidden, award winning, songwriting talents with us! ******************************************** Kate Bennett www.katebennett.com sponsored by Polysonics Discover the Indies at Taylor Guitars: http://www.taylorguitars.com/artists/awp/indies/bennett.html ******************************************** ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2002 21:47:14 EST From: Murphycopy@aol.com Subject: Re: US involvement...gov't. by the people "This world is shattered The wise are mourning The fools are joking Oh, what does it matter?
