In Your Face

In Your Face

1) One would expect that 50% of all deaths are women. However, according to the CIA World Factbook, there are 107 men born for every 100 women. Since women live longer, the actual worldwide ratio of men to women is 1.01 to 1. Ergo, more men than women die. 2) A woman dies every minute from pregnancy complications and childbirth, mostly in poor countries. 3) Women never cry over nothing.

You did me
a favor
pushing me
out the window
I learned
how to
fly

After Dinner Question

After Dinner Question

Today was wonderful in the San Francisco bay area. For the first time in months, we got a “real” rain with rivulets and puddles. It rained all day, and it is forcast to rain again tomorrow. It’s been a very dry year, and we need the water.

The rain is raining all around,
It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea.
Poem by Robert Louis Stevenson, Rain

The monotone of the rain is beautiful,
And the sudden rise and slow relapse
Of the long multitudinous rain.
Poem by Carl Sandburg, Monotone

The night rain, dripping unseen,
Comes endlessly kissing my face and my hands.
Poem by D.H. Lawrence, Embankment at Night, before the War

A Searching and Fearless Moral Inventory of Ourselves

A Searching and Fearless Moral Inventory of Ourselves

“I am no longer the Decision Maker,” joked President Bush. But
if the Military Readiness Enhancement Act, which would overturn
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” is passed, he’s expected to veto it.

“Gays are not liberated yet. Their struggle is just beginning in an American culture that is still essentially fearful about homosexuality. But some mothers of gays now march proudly in Gay Liberation parades their children are just as precious to them as the children being defended by anti-gay forces. No matter how anyone feels on this explosive subject, mothers and their gay children are here to stay and everyone might as well get on with dealing with, understanding, and accepting this fact.”
Quotation from Liz Smith, The Mother Book
