When one's accomplishments are being attacked by those using questionable means, it is more honorable to walk away in peace, then to engage a web of deceit. |

Becoming
The markers of my womanhood
The first time I skinned my knee Or the first time I scored a touch down The first girl I kissed The markers of my womanhood The first uninvited touch The fights about my cloths The first shrink I had The markers of my womanhood The first skateboard I made in woodshop My first motorcycle How 501’s hang on my hips The markers of my Womanhood The first time security was called in the restroom Realizing my womanhood threatened yours The markers of my Womanhood Learning that the illusion of my Womanhood Lie’s between your eyes and my body…. 11' |

Sometimes the best way to contribute to a more peaceful world is simply to let love pour from your heart. Even the smallest of gestures can shine a light on someone in such a way that it can heal them, & sometimes you are doing nothing at all but letting love flow to that person, or just out into the world, forgetting for a moment all the things that seem wrong.
~Sherri Lane~ |
Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one dies forever in debt to those who are kind. ~Malayan Proverb

To be fully alive, fully human, and completely awake is to be continually thrown out of the nest. To live fully is to be always in no-man's-land, to experience each moment as completely new and fresh. To live is to be willing to die over and over again.

When I'm writing, I always like to have the TV playing in the back-ground. I usually try to find a program that's interesting enough to leave on. but stupid enough to ignore.

Allow the diversity to exist. There is nothing wrong with it. Hell, we put up with the religious right-we can put up with transgendered human beings.

"You know, when I was in college, there was a big debate: Do unions raise wages? Well, with regard to industrial unions, there were arguments back and forth -- international competition. It is now clear, I think, that whether or not you think unions raised wages 50 years ago, the absence of unions and their weakness that is inflicted by anti-union public policy depresses wages. The fact is that people who are not represented, in the service industries in particular, are the victims of policies which depress their wages"

Poema 18.
20 poemas de amor y una canción desesperada. Pablo Neruda Aquí te amo. En los oscuros pinos se desenreda el viento. Fosforece la luna sobre las aguas errantes. Andan días iguales persiguiéndose. Se desciñe la niebla en danzantes figuras. Una gaviota de plata se descuelga del ocaso. A veces una vela. Altas, altas estrellas. O la cruz negra de un barco. Solo. A veces amanezco, y hasta mi alma está húmeda. Suena, resuena el mar lejano. Este es un puerto. Aquí te amo. Aquí te amo y en vano te oculta el horizonte. Te estoy amando aún entre estas frías cosas. A veces van mis besos en esos barcos graves, que corren por el mar hacia donde no llegan. Ya me veo olvidado como estas viejas anclas. Son más tristes los muelles cuando atraca la tarde. Se fatiga mi vida inútilmente hambrienta. Amo lo que no tengo. Estás tú tan distante. Mi hastío forcejea con los lentos crepúsculos. Pero la noche llega y comienza a cantarme. La luna hace girar su rodaje de sueño. Me miran con tus ojos las estrellas más grandes. Y como yo te amo, los pinos en el viento, quieren cantar tu nombre con sus hojas de alambre. |
Anger is the real destroyer of our good human qualities; an enemy with a weapon cannot destroy these qualities, but anger can. Anger is our real enemy. The Dalai Lama |
