"It was labor that helped build the largest middle class in history.

So, even if you're not a union member, every American owes

something to America's labor movement."

President Barack Obama

Is that Jerry Dromedary

of Dorothy Hamill-Camel?

"I believe there surely is such a thing as truth,

but who among us can claim a monopoly on it?"

Edward "Ted" Kennedy

1983

Too Cute Pooches

"Censorship is the height of vanity."

Martha Graham

Times are tough.

Scary winds of change are howling at gale force.

Old certainties are daily revealed to be less than. . . certain.

People are showing their true colors.

Some are not handling it well;

They are aiming their anger at

targets of questionable appropriateness.

For it's easier to shout a punchy slogan

than it is to consider

the complexities

that brought us

here.

For those whose values,

whose guidance,

comes from

within

these are exciting times.

For much needs changing

in our hearts

before society can change

for the better.

So keep your powder dry.

Don't fall for the easy con of blame.

Dare to believe

that cure, or Salvation

is a relief - a release;

Not a sweaty hike.

Be cunning, relaxed

and poised as a serpent

while harmless as a dove.

And like a cork

you'll dance the turbulent waters

till brilliant Dawn

takes away all but

delight

(be it in this ocean

or the next)

Ahoy my friends

Aloha.

The most powerful thing we can do

is to love one another

and forgive each ourselves.

Thus is restored

the kingdom

of our

longings.
