The End of Me
|
||
|
by Cheryl Irvine.
|
||
|
Blood boils
|
||
|
[Thoughts of manslaughter
|
||
|
quickly provoked]
|
||
|
Creases form
|
||
|
[Anger overwhelms
|
||
|
beyond belief]
|
||
|
Eyebrows disfigure
|
||
|
[Rage takes over
|
||
|
my once quiet soul]
|
||
|
Eyes snare
|
||
|
[Fury dominates
|
||
|
--grows out of control]
|
||
|
Nostrils flare
|
||
|
[Revenge is
|
||
|
no longer an option]
|
||
|
Nerves tangle
|
||
|
[She transformed---
|
||
|
humane to merciless]
|
||
|
Lips distort
|
||
|
[Irritation conquers
|
||
|
the calmness]
|
||
|
Teeth clench
|
||
|
[Tightness inside
|
||
|
is unbearable]
|
||
|
Hands constrict
|
||
|
[The wheel
|
||
|
chokes from its own master]
|
||
|
Sweat dribbles
|
||
|
[The wheel can't take it-
|
||
|
gagged, strangled]
|
||
|
"Stop!" it screams.
|
||
|
"You don't know what
|
||
|
you're doing! Please stop!"
|
||
|
Pause. Close your eyes.
|
||
|
Become free.
|
||
|
Remember who you are...
|
||
|
Inhale. Exhale.
|
||
|
Come back to us.
|
||
|
Your body needs you...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Damn those who cut me off
|
||
|
and don't use their signal.

FROM YALE TO JAIL The Life Story of a Moral Dissenter
|
||
|
David Dellinger
|
||
|
an inspired/inspiring bookreview by Noam Chomsky.
|
||
|
(Lifted by Prime Anarchist from Fortkamp catalog
|
||
|
1-800-43-peace rosehill@iw.net
|
||
|
Typed in by Data Entry. The AnaKlerk.)
|
||
|
|
||
|
The son of a well-to-do Boston lawyer, David Dellinger
|
||
|
seemed cut out for a distinguished career in law or gov-
|
||
|
ernment. But rejecting his comfortable background, he
|
||
|
walked out of Yale one afternoon during the Great Depress-
|
||
|
ion, in his oldest clothes and without any money, to ride
|
||
|
the freight trains, sleep at missions, and stand in bread
|
||
|
lines. Dave lived among the poor in Newark, was bloodied
|
||
|
in the freedom marches through the South, and led
|
||
|
countless hunger strikes in jail. Always, he reached out to
|
||
|
his antagonist to find common ground.
|
||
|
Dave's memoirs shed new light on many of the most
|
||
|
crucial events of the 1960's. His inside account of what
|
||
|
happened in those years, and of the people who shaped
|
||
|
that decade - Martin Luther King, Jr., Abbie Hoffman,
|
||
|
Bayard Rustin, A. J. Muste, Dorothy Day, Jerry Rubin,
|
||
|
Joan Baez, and many more - is an indispensable chapter
|
||
|
in the story of our time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
*Before reading this book, I knew and greatly admired Dave
|
||
|
Dellinger. Or so I thought. After reading his remarkable
|
||
|
story, my admiration changed to something more like awe.
|
||
|
There can be few people in the world who have crafted
|
||
|
their lives into something truly inspiring.
|
||
|
This autobiography introduces us to one of them with the
|
||
|
simplicity and integrity that have characterized everything
|
||
|
Dave has done.*

The Invitation
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer (a Native American Elder)
|
||
|
((not sure what tribe))
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
|
||
|
I want to know what you ache for,
|
||
|
and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me how old you are.
|
||
|
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
|
||
|
for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
|
||
|
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
|
||
|
if you have been opened by life's betrayals or
|
||
|
have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!
|
||
|
|
||
|
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
|
||
|
without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,
|
||
|
if you can dance with wildness and let the ectasy fill you
|
||
|
to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be
|
||
|
careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true.
|
||
|
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
|
||
|
if you can bear the accusation of betrayal
|
||
|
and not betray your own soul.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I want to know if you can be faithful
|
||
|
and therefore be trustworthy.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I want to know if you can see beauty
|
||
|
even when it is not pretty every day,
|
||
|
and if you can source your life from God's presence.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine,
|
||
|
and still stand on the edge of a lake
|
||
|
and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes"!
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me to know where you live
|
||
|
or how much money you have.
|
||
|
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair,
|
||
|
weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done
|
||
|
for the children.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
|
||
|
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me
|
||
|
and not shrink back.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
|
||
|
I want to know what sustains you from the inside
|
||
|
when all else falls away.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself,
|
||
|
and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

STATISTICS by Aaron K. (prime note: oops. two submissions.
|
||
|
This one I was late getting to)
|
||
|
|
||
|
"It has been taught very poorly", our teacher says
|
||
|
as we silently nod in all knowing agreement that
|
||
|
he is far too right remembering the question we got
|
||
|
right on our assignment, that he marked wrong
|
||
|
that he refuses to admit
|
||
|
|
||
|
Soaked from surprisingly fierce wind driven early morning rains
|
||
|
whose vigour I'd felt not worthy of my coat
|
||
|
I sit in the air conditioned room and watch a classmate pickup
|
||
|
and put on his jacket questioning yet again the sanity and
|
||
|
intentionality of whomever sets the temperature
|
||
|
Who're ignoring today's forecasted twenty degree drop
|
||
|
|
||
|
Labouriously working through ever excruciating detail of an
|
||
|
example which, having unusually studied for class, I find,
|
||
|
as they like to say in math: trivial
|
||
|
Watching the red glow of light emitting diodes on the
|
||
|
digital clock, trying to catch the numbers change
|
||
|
without the prof noticing
|
||
|
|
||
|
classmate returns from blowing his nose
|
||
|
I'm still wet and our best linear predictor is incapable of
|
||
|
understanding the logic of the temperature gods and their
|
||
|
reasons for trying to give colds to hundreds
|
||
|
of students on the week of mid-terms
|
||
|
Sniff, Sniff.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I used to like math.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"It has been taught very poorly," he said.
|
||
|
Today was not an exception.
