The Second Mouse Gets The Cheese: Dot to Dot Mandelbrot
Okay, so maybe I am a little prejudice by saying that I love this article. Yes, it is written by my wife Brenda. All that aside, it is a really heartfelt story that helps clarify how the concept of ONENESS can be understood by learning about or studying these really cool images that are constructed using a simple mathematical equation.
See where it takes you.
Namaste
Awesome! I'd love to see this!

Prop 19: Amsterdam Psychiatrist Blasts US Drug Czars for Distortions, Fear-Mongering | MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory
from MensNewsDaily.com:
Most outrageously, the drug czars ignore the well known and undisputed statistics that show that Dutch use of cannabis remains about half that of the US and is comparable to – or less than – use in our neighboring countries with more repressive policies. Moreover, Dutch heroin use rates are also less than half of US rates. We attribute that fact to what we call the “separation of the markets” for hard and soft drugs.
...It is my firm belief that the American people, and certainly Californians, would support decriminalizing drugs and regulating drug markets, if only they knew that the drug problem in their country is much worse than in countries with more liberal policies. The problem is that Americans do know that their country has a serious drug problem, but they also believe or are convinced that in the Netherlands and other European countries the situation is even worse. This is what they have heard from their governments and drug czars.Just trying to get the facts straight...grin!

Journalism warning labels on the Webisphere
We see bias in all types of journalism, citizen and mainstream. But how can we warn others about certain mistakes afflicting lazy writers?Blessings All,
I've been greatly expanding my territory lately, and the statement above caught my eye while exploring DigitalJournal.com. I've been reporting more lately, and while traveling through the wild world of wikis on the Global Webisphere, I had some interactions with the wiki police. And I say this with a big smile because sometime it does take a little basic law and order to keep one's house a home. What an interesting place to roam, I must admit. Suffice it to say that there are many enlightened souls that are indeed protecting the webisphere from misinformation and as such they assume a responsibility to the Light of Truth.
And it's all good. I'm here to play and I'm here to stay, and as an evolving journalist myself, it is imperative that I learn the rules of the game. I'm betting that the golden rule is still the only real rule that needs to apply. There is still a universe of information out there that has yet to be crystallized into the digital halls of cyberspace. What a grand site those halls are out here in the uni-verse.
Namaste

Grandma Kay Lee's Birthday Wish
--- begin e-mail post ---
Tomorrow (Sept 8th) is my birthday. Someone asked what my wish would be.
It is this: That every human being, each and every one of us, feel forever
loved.
If someone asked me what friendship is, I would sit next to you, pull you
close to me, put my arms around you and say proudly, 'this is friendship'.
--- end e-mail post --
So Be It!
Amen and Blessings Kay Lee,
Rocket Johnson

There was a post awhile back while I was in the hospital asking what you listen to when you garden. I like classical music some days, and some days I listen to KOMA Oldies. Sometimes I like the old-time songs, Folk music, or country music that I find on the radio, but some days I play my CDs. While weeding and cultivating, I can do a lot of contemplating about what is going on in the world, in this country - my intense concerns about the future and the world environment. I get actively involved in these issues (always have) that concern us all and music often is a great avenue to open my thoughts in many ways. Sometimes a song comes on that makes me happy "Feel Good Music" and I have to move, so I dance and sing around in the garden. Among my many favorite song writers and performers is Mr. John Prine.
Here's part of a little tune I like that was written and performed by John Prine back a few years ago or ten or twenty. I like to sing it alot while "I'm in the Garden":
Spanish Pipe Dream
"She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her self against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke"
(Chorus)
"...Blow up your t.v.; throw away your paper;
Go to the country; build you a home.
Plant a little garden; eat a lot of peaches;
Try an find Jesus on your own"
"...Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "you must know the answer."
"she said, "no but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why
(Chorus)
We blew up our t.v.. Threw away our paper;
Went to the country. Built us a home.
Had a lot of children. Fed 'em on peaches.
They all found Jesus on their own"
------------------------------------------------
I'm just an old hippie, I guess, but I just love that song and that man. Love his satire. Love his bleeding heart.
Been listening to his music all morning...so much was written decades ago, but they are so poignant and still relevant today.
