    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

  • Emma Goldman:

    "Free love? As if love is anything but free! Man has bought brains, but all the millions in the world have failed to buy love. Man has subdued bodies, but all the power on earth has been unable to subdue love. Man has conquered whole nations, but all his armies could not conquer love. Man has chained and fettered the spirit, but he has been utterly helpless before love. High on a throne, with all the splendor and pomp his gold can command, man is yet poor and desolate, if love passes him by. And if it stays, the poorest hovel is radiant with warmth, with life and color. Thus love has the magic power to make of a beggar a king. Yes, love is free; it can dwell in no other atmosphere."
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
    -Oscar Wilde
  • Bertrand Russell:

    Three passions have governed my life:
    The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
    And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].

    Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
    In the union of love I have seen
    In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
    Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.

    With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
    I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
    I have wished to know why the stars shine.

    Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
    But always pity brought me back to earth;
    Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
    Of children in famine, of victims tortured
    And of old people left helpless.
    I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
    And I too suffer.

    This has been my life; I found it worth living.
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
    -Oscar Wilde

    Happy Cinco De Mayo

    Thank you for the words on love, Miss Book. You know I have a love affair going with you and the members of this board.

    I am sending you a kiss and hug from the Konocti Princess...


    Here is a quote, from a state where I am:
    Father, Mother God, just now we ask for Your Light and Divine Loving to fill us completely, to push out all negativity and surround and protect us for the highest good. We ask that we learn more deeply the loving that we are, for we are made in your image. We ask that only that which is for our highest good be brought forward as we join with our brothers and sisters in these processes toward peace and understanding. For all your many blessings, Father-Mother God·we give our thanks. Amen

    I learned over the weekend, that we are not victims of others when concerning our interactions with friends, family, and associates...moreso we target others when we are lacking a link of understanding, tolerance, and patience towards context, and then we lash out, only to blame the other party...talk about crazy...???? :)

    we make them our victim and then we claim we are their victim, so we can justifyour own irrational thinking and behavior....oh my my my....

    30.THE UNIVERSE is our greatest teacher, our greatest friend. It is always teaching THE ART OF PEACE. Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Everything~mountains, rivers, plants and trees~should be your teacher. The world's wisdom is contained in books, and by studying the words of the wise, countless new techniques can be created. Study and practice and then reflect on your progress. THE ART OF PEACE is the art of learning deeply, the art of knowing oneself...

    To love. To be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and the vulgar disparity of life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all, to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never, to forget.

    "Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business."

    “Religion is not merely the opium of the masses, it's the cyanide.”

    "Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently.”

    -- Tom Robbins
    Everything not forbidden is compulsory and eveything not compulsory is forbidden. You are free... free to do what the government says you can do.

    "Our gross national product does not allow for
    the health of our children, the quality of their
    education, or the joy of their play.

    It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the
    strength of our marriages, the intelligence of
    our public debate or the integrity of our public
    officials.

    It measures neither our wit nor our
    courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning,
    neither our compassion nor our devotion to our
    country; it measures everything, in short,
    except that which makes life worth while.

    And it can tell us everything about America except
    why we are proud that we are Americans."

    RFK, University of Kansas, 3-18-67

    33. THE ART OF PEACE originates with the flow of things-its heart is like the movement of the wind and waves. The Way is like the veins that circulate blood through our bodies, following the natural flow of the life force. If you are separated in the slightest from that divine essence, you are far off the path.

  • “I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. It's just that the translations have gone wrong.” John Lennon
