It's been awhile....

It's that time of year....starting of the fall semester...a busy busy time for those of us who work in higher education....made even busier when you're a student as well. My time has been taken for weeks now but hopefully I can reclaim it to some degree now and start posting more regularly.

Today is nothing big....just saying HEY and I'm back!

If you're reading this then you probably know how important music is to me. In the last two weeks, I've purchased two cds that I can highly recommend to anyone and everyone! If you get a chance, check these out:

"Hope & Glory" by Ann Wilson (YES...that Ann Wilson....it's her first solo cd and it is excellent!)

"The Awakening" by Melissa Etheridge (finally...after 4 years...a new CD from one of my favorites....I can say it was worth the wait!? Wasn't sure what to think when I heard that this would be a concept CD but it is phenomenally good...full of insight and love, hope and strength...)

God is in the People....by Melissa Etheridge
We keep thinking life is what its not
We keep building this impossible facade
Why do we keep trying to turn people into gods
When God is in the people
A Simple Love....by Melissa Etheridge
It's a simple love that holds us together
It's a simple truth that sets us free
There's a place we're bound
We call it forever
It's a simple love between you and me

DECLARATION OF THE FOUR SACRED THINGS

The earth is a living, conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places, we name these things as sacred: air, fire, water, and earth.

Whether we see them as the breath, energy, blood, and body of the Mother, or as the blessed gifts of a Creator, or as symbols of the interconnected systems that sustain life, we know that nothing can live without them.

To call these things sacred is to say that they have a value beyond their usefulness for human ends, that they themselves become the standards by which our acts, our economics, our laws and our purposes must be judged. No one has the right to appropriate them or profit from them at the expense of others. Any government that fails to protect them forfeits its legitimacy.

All people, all living things, are part of the earth life, and so are sacred. No one of us stands higher or lower than any other. Only justice can assure balance: only ecological balance can sustain freedom. Only in freedom can that fifth sacred thing we call spirti flourish in its full diversity.

To honor the sacred is to create conditions in which nourishment, sustenance, habitat, knowledge, freedom, and beauty can thrive. To honor the sacred is to make love possible.

To this we dedicate our curiosity, our will, our courage, our silences, and our voices. To this we dedicate our lives.
