visionary Activism

I just finished listening to Carolyn Cayce on kpfa.org her show is The Visionary Activist. Her guest was Susan Shannon of Chapel of the Heart. Today is Persian New Year. On her show they were asking "How do we gather as equals and peers and conjure the desirable"?
Is this Nature getting our attention to show us we are all one in the sum dance of creation. How may we bring all to the table and develop restorative justice?
This is a time for introspection.
Carolyn mentioned William Blake and said one of his magic tricks was to give dinner parties for dead people and that opened a path for him to follow.
Magnetize our spirit that we attract cooperative collaborators.
Her show will be in the archives and you can listen to it.
Many Blessings...

Reel in the Closet, home movie documentary

I watched this early this morning, a documentary of old LGBT home movies. It’s just over one hour. I watched at 5:30 so it wouldn’t effect my bandwidth from my server. I thought some of you might enjoy it.

Gunman, three hostages found dead at Yountville veterans facility, ending standoff

Sad, more at link.
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-veterans-hostages-20180309-story.html

A gunman and three hostages were found dead Friday evening at a Northern California veterans care facility, concluding a stand-off that lasted for about eight hours, officials said.
Shortly before 6 p.m., officers entered the room where the gunman had been holding the hostages, officials with the California Highway Patrol said. Three women and a man, believed to be the suspect, were found dead, authorities said.
"This is a tragic piece of news, one that we were really hoping we wouldn't have to come before the public to give," said Chris Childs, assistant chief for the California Highway Patrol's Golden Gate Division.
At about 10:20 a.m., authorities responded to reports of shots fired at the state-run Yountville Veterans Home, where a man with a rifle had walked into the Pathway Home building and taken three employees hostage, Childs said.

Book by an Ohio Congressman published in 1903

Years ago my mom was talking about having too many books and needing to get rid of some. She pulled one off the shelf that had been her grandfathers. "The Handwriting on The Wall - or Revolution in 1907" by J. C. Cooper, published in 1903. I kept it, and found a copy on line and bought it for Dennis Kucinich, J. C. Cooper being a Congressman from Ohio. I was mentioning this to a friend and he found the book online. Anyone can check it out here: https://archive.org/details/handwritingonwa00coopgoog


From the table of contents, he covers:

His Personal Experience
Trusts
The Railroads and the Trusts
Legislation
Corruption, Bribery and Perjury
Trade Unions
Strikes
Machinery
Child Labor
The Unemployed
The Aristocracy
Poverty
Female Labor
The Fierce Struggle
Education
The Church
The Farmer
Plutocracy
Panics
Finis

That's his twenty chapters, and we are dealing with the same subjects today.

Happy reading...
