Please consider calling, writing, & emailing DC & Your elected employees
to end these horrible wars.

Please reach out to neighbors & strangers who have someOne in these awful wars..it is an incredibly lonely & frightening time for Military Families. ANY sign of acknowledgement & compassion can be a huge enCouragement.

Also, there is a relatively UNknown part of NCLB, funding public schools requires each school collect information on each child, for DoD/Military recruiters.. PARENTS have to opt out, be proactive. Info can be found at Mothers Against the Draft. I haven't followed this at all in the past few years,& can't get into it now, but would like to follow up when time allows.

Personally,
My only "child" was in OIF, I didn't sleep for 20 min. at a time, for 5 years.
I'm still recovering from the experience..those who haven't experienced it personally just don't get it. Altho' MY Son came HOME (thanks, God) & got out, & he is WHOLE, Healthy & Happy, HE is the exception. EVERY One who goes to war is changed forever.

EnJOY every moment with YOUR Babies, right now, & teach them well..teach them to question 'authority' & think for themSelves..even Your teenagers!

"Caught in the Quiet" has been one of my bibles, since my teens..

"Twelve:
Trust me
& I'll do
good things for you
even if to make you happy means to leave you
to yourself."
*
"Nineteen:
I accept the fact
that love is love,
tho I understand it not at all.

I understand
Your belly tho
& tulips in a jar
& only that I'd make of you
exactly what you are."
*
"Twenty-seven:
And now
I lay me down to sleep
& not alone.

Dear God
I do believe in you
how else could such a thing
come true for me?"

*
Wow,again..been awhile since I reflected on these poems,
..suddenly, I feel 16 again..!
random lines do often come to Mind, unexpectedly,
when I'm at the Water, at the Beach..

Promises are Sacred, I take 'em seriously.
I don't make many, & I DON'T make Promises I can't/won't keep.
it's simple.

I had very high HOPEs,& have been disappointed, over & over.
I *STILL* have HOPE~===]

From www.GoGratitude.com (newsletter)

Dr. Masaru Emoto (Water studies,etc,& What the Bleep do We Know fame)
has asked that People Worldwide send Healing Energy/goood thoughts
to the Water today, noon, your local time.

His prayer:
"The Water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make You suffer.
Please forgive us. We thank You, and we love You."

Couldn't hurt. Please share.

"After the A-bomb", destruction/aftermath and RECOVERY in Hiroshima & Nagasaki..archival footage will be especially riveting in light of today's situation

"Arsenal of Hypocracy", Nasa,& why we're going to "dominate" space.

thanks for this list!

Few years ago, I watched a documentary called "After the A-bomb",incredible footage of the devestation in Nagasaki & Hiroshima..I was amazed, that within 3 days, the Survivors had so organized themSelves, they created HUGE tent hospitals, kitchens, sleeping shelterts..I watched this months after Katrina, & was so angry at America's lack of recovery in NOLA & other affected Coastal areas. Anyway, I need to watch it again, to compare this current manmade nightmare/aftermath with that nightmare.

I'll try to post a link to the doc, if I have a chance.

On another note, Dr. Masaru Emoto (What the Bleep do We Know, etc.)
has asked that People Worldwide say a "Water prayer" Blessing today, noon local time..

"Water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant,
We are sorry to make You suffer.
Please forgive us.
We thank You, and we love You."

Please share.
