beauty is without mediation. perception requires no money, only split seconds of resolve to produce a shattering clarity. resistance the only means to stop the tanks, to stop police brutality, to stop the murderous culture of men, to end our complicity in the building of a war machine lubricated by all tax payers. To lift the embargo on Cuba to end the occupations to crush the destructive powers of capital to listen to the power of women's words to halt the repressive force whose face has grown grotesquely familiar. to house and feed and provide safety and self-determination for all. to teach truth. i'm clear that this is the responsibility of all people. i'm certain the 3 individuals richer than the 48 poorest countries, have no right to amass. i'm clear that this world belongs to no one in particular and everyone deserves bread, and quiet breath, and water. i'm clear that those who order death and those who steal and dominate with bad policy have sold out their humanity. i'm clear the only thing which appeases the most crucial witness (the innerself of conscience) is contrition for oppression, renunciation of excess, avowal against a lethal apathy. the work is to be alive for the living. to foster growth. to make again a garden of this place..... Elizabeth Roberts....................THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE: We have bigger houses but smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; We have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicines, but less healthiness; We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; We have become long on quantity, but short on quality. These are times of fast foods but slow digestion; Tall man but short character; Steep profits but shallow relationships. It's a time where there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.--His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
My pirate name is:
Captain Charity Flint
Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

You are The Star
Hope, expectation, Bright promises.
The Star is one of the great cards of faith, dreams realised
The Star is a card that looks to the future. It does not predict any immediate or powerful change, but it does predict hope and healing. This card suggests clarity of vision, spiritual insight. And, most importantly, that unexpected help will be coming, with water to quench your thirst, with a guiding light to the future. They might say you're a dreamer, but you're not the only one.
