I've missed you guys but look forward to reading all the JMDL's I want to catch up on!!! I've been thinking...(HHHMMMM...'bout time)...when personal crapola gets me down, I can always count on Bush to divert my reality to getting me waaayyyy down about the forlorn state of affairs of our country and the entire world. What is happening??? When will the masses realize that unifying our mutual horror and taking action has merit? Have we, on the unconscious collective level, lost our gumption....lost our rage???? If there's a higher meaning, whatever that means, to this world-wide horror and chaos, I can't imagine what it can be. Living through the Civil Rights's Movement and the many protests of the 1960's and 70's does not hold a dormant, huge space in my heart and soul. But, I admit to feeling helpless at times....to feeling I can't contribute to searching and maybe finding some avenue that will lead us to the wisdom of the legacies left to us by so many amazing and brave human beings. There's solace to be comforted by through Joni and many others....but there's individual responsibility and I've yet to identify and take actions of my own. I eventually will find a path. I'm a faithful reader of "The Sun", a wonderful journal. The same quote accompanies the very first page: "What is to give light must endure burning."-Viktor Frankl Regardless of how many times I read Dr. Frankl's "Man's Search For Meaning", I find new wisdom within the pages of this written jewel. Hope this finds all of you well. Paz, so glad to learn that "things are jamming" for you...one of my wishes. Signing off with love. Bo - --------------------------------- How low will we go?

"It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear; Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear! --Romeo and Juliet, I, v, 49 This would seem to be the source for a line in the Joni Mitchell song called "That Song about the Midway": I met you on the midway at a fair last year And you stood out like a ruby in a black man's ear" now i'm thinking i'm going to write the times about 'talk to me' in which joni makes fun of people who quote shakespeare... patrick np - underworld, 'jal to tokyo' ------------------------------ End of onlyJMDL Digest V2006 #120 ********************************* ------- Post messages to the list by clicking here: mailto:joni@smoe.org Unsubscribe by clicking here: mailto:onlyjoni-digest-request@smoe.org?body=unsubscribe ------- Siquomb, isn't she?
