When I think of the atrocities in Darfur, a quote from the recent Ken Burns documentary, The War, comes to mind:

“G-d help us.  You come Yourself.  Don’t send Jesus … this is no place for children.”

~Episode 3 – Sergeant at the battle of Anzio

A charity worth looking into:

Don’t be such a tight ass … give them some money, and you’ll get laid within 24 hours.  DON’T BREAK THE CHAIN!

There are 6 Episodes of G-d, Inc. on You Tube.  But what’s really spectacular … they’re not crap.  High five to Francis Stokes for a job well done!  Kudos!!!

If you haven’t had the pleasure to read or hear Arundhati Roy, another patron saint of this blog, you are missing out.  I highly recommend reading one of her many books for a perspective so unique, yet so honest and powerful.  With her gentle voice, she speaks a raging truth.

I had a dream last night that I sat at an enormous oak table with one person from every culture in the world.  We ate each other’s food, listened to each other’s songs, and exchanged gifts that represented our people. 

What struck me during our dinner, was that we all spoke in our indigenous tongues, but we understood one another without any need for a translator.  I sat next to a very old Sufi man.  He gave me a large volumn of his writing – a gift of great honor. 

When I asked him how this had happened, how we effortlessly understood one another, he smiled and whispered in my ear, “Because we are at peace.”
