Everyone offers up their talent and for example, once a child becomes an adult, they have to claim their talent or go on a vision quest to find what it is that…
The Republicans are organizing to go after the Jews for the presidential vote – Sarah Silverman and the rest – just say no.
I’ve spent the last few days trying to quell the voices in my head, the ones that are telling me to act now or perish. I’ve told those voices to go away, that I’m a different person than I used to be, that I’m one who has let go and is letting god, but these voices talk back in the most imprudent manner.

Rachel Dangermond Message for the Day – Throw it Away Dangermond.org » Blog Archive » Throw It Away www.dangermond.org I went to sleep last night with a full moon hanging over the bayou and woke to a rosy dawn – signs all is okay. The Times Picayune’s history archive the other day was about how Rex, the first official Mardi Gras krewe in New Orleans, pressured the city to close down on Fat Tuesday, which…

I went to sleep last night with a full moon hanging over the bayou and woke to a rosy dawn – signs all is okay. The Times Picayune’s history archive the other day was about how Rex, the first official Mardi Gras krewe in New Orleans, pressured the city to close down on Fat Tuesday, which began the real Carnival season in New Orleans over a hundred years ago.

I woke this morning feeling as if I was floating on a gold radiance tracing a beautiful journey to destination que será, será and behind me were streets with names like shoulda and coulda and in front of me were bridges that abruptly end, and so I did what I gave me pleasure. I made a cup of strong pur uhr and went on the front porch of the LaLa and watched the sun come…
Tao te Ching #48 In the pursuit of knowledge, every day something is added. In the practice of the Tao, every day something is dropped.
