About Me

YOUR LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN QUENCHED THOUGH YOU HAVE FALLEN. YOU MOVE, GUERRILLA, A FIGURE ON A FLAMING STEED THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS, WIND AND CLOUDS, SILENCED, YOU ARE NOT SILENT. AND THOUGH THEY BURN YOUR BODY, THOUGH THEY HIDE YOU AWAY IN GRAVEYARDS, FORESTS, COLD UPLANDS, THEY CANNOT KEEP US FROM YOU CHE COMMANDER, FRIEND AND BROTHER.Poem to Che by Nicolas Guillen 15th October 1967

Foremost I am a mother of three beautiful daughters who mean more to me than I can ever say.It is 2008 and an alarm clock is going off. It forewarns of a world in trouble. A world where wars are being waged, where imperialistic interests are taking precedence over common sense; and where incredibly anachronistic mind sets are blinded to human misery and suffering.Our governments are leading us down the garden path to perdition. To remain silent is to be complicit. Mea culpa, I am guilty. To do nothing or to sit on the fence is inexcusable.One voice can become many. Many voices raised in solidarity can create change.It used to be said that religion was the opiate of the masses. Now its television and consumerism, keeping our heads bowed down with blinders firmly fixed in a perpetual narcotic stupor.My middle class existence is comfortable. I eat three meals a day and I have access to clean water and health care. I have more than what I need. I would be willing to do with less so that others could have more. This existence is not a birthright it is simply a fluke. I am not entitled to privilege simply because I was born into it.Jesus owned nothing.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Che Guevara and Jesus Christ.Questions for Che:Now in looking down from your place in the universe, and seeing what has transpired in Cuba, Bolivia and other countries still under the yoke of imperialism, do you still believe that Marxism is the answer?Does the end really justify the means? In other words is killing justified to bring about justice and freedom?Do you feel you died in vain?Questions for Jesus?Now in looking down from your place in eternity, and seeing what has transpired with human-kind, do you still believe that good will conquer evil in the end?Do you feel you died in vain?

My high school reunion

The silver dream catcher

                           Soon the moon glistened on a magical silvery web moving gently in the window. "See how I spin?" he said. "See and learn, for each web will snare bad dreams. Only good dreams...
