And yet another…war…and another….always money for war….but never enough for indispensible things like education, housing, healthcare….when will we wake up Americans?

Is the moon out tonight
Will she be peeking
Through the wisps of Summer’s fog
Watching me
As tears slip
And glitter as they fall
Is the moon out tonight
Or is she sleeping
Not aware in her bed of stars
Wake and watch me!
I’m not dreaming
Far now from where you are
I am like a tireless child
With her night clothes
Tangled tight
The more that the [...]

There is nothing like the Moon Child experience to make it feel like home: Be Peace.

I just saw Al Gore’s new movie “Inconvenient Truth” . . .

We have to re-think our escape to canada….

Everyone expected House Republicans to give up efforts to kill NPR and
PBS after a massive public outcry stopped them last year. But they’ve

At the mid-point between eclipses, we celebrate the annual Full Moon of insights: Peace be with you.

I got into a discussion recently about Reagan and heard it said that Reagan did more to bring down USSR than anyone else.
