I have driven myself wacko trying to determine what is "effective" and what is not! And here is the key:<BR/>"I was looking for something of interest to me, and I found it." Is not "interesting" the very synonym of "effective"?. Is not "life" the very synonym of "interesting"? Anything else is death.Suelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13739011165937473840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491758030360570659.post-80910625310311684202007-09-25T14:50:00.000-07:002007-09-25T14:50:00.000-07:00Hey, you could have gone with me and Debby to the ...Hey, you could have gone with me and Debby to the Takoma Park Folk Festival on Sunday, September 16th. Head Roc performed.<BR/><BR/>I liked what you wrote about a sacrifice to the gods. I think they might as well be chanting, "no-one is watching," except fellow protesters, and the police. Those kind of protests do not meet my need for effectiveness.<BR/><BR/>Take care down there in martial law-land.Nexus X Humectresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14533976314992135993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491758030360570659.post-82282023958519201992007-09-25T10:03:00.000-07:002007-09-25T10:03:00.000-07:00I was glad to have the chance to ramble around cam...I was glad to have the chance to ramble around campus and talk the weekend of the protest. I'm sending positive thoughts toward New Orleans so that you feel inspired to have some of the conversations with your "boss" that you've been wanting to have.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18347833647588044048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491758030360570659.post-71797166040655106432007-09-24T23:46:00.000-07:002007-09-24T23:46:00.000-07:00i really appreciate reading your observations and ...i really appreciate reading your observations and point of view. it seems very thoughtful to me, and it gives me a feeling of hope and inspiration to sense how much you care, how much you are willing to make yourself vulnerable in the service of understanding and human connection. i have experienced so much frustration at protest events where i see rampant antagonism that, to me, only seems to exacerbate the underlying hurt and trauma that are at the root of conflict, war, etc. thanks (I) for sharing. and i send you strength and love in your work in nola. its a hard place.aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06984248327958666729noreply@blogger.com
