Never
doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change
the world. Indeed, it´s the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
DECIDE
TO NETWORK
Decide
to network
Use
every letter you write
Every
conversation you have
Every
meeting you attend
To
express your fundamental beliefs and dreams
Affirm
to others the vision of the world you want
Network
through thought
Network
through action
Network
through love
Network
through the spirit
You
are the center of a network
You
are the center of the world
You
are a free, immensely powerful source
of
life and goodness
Affirm
it. Spread it. Radiate it
Think
day and night about it
And
you will see a miracle happen:
the
greatness of your own life.
In
a world of big powers, media, and monopolies
But
of four and a half billion individuals
Networking
is the new freedom
the
new democracy
a new
form of happiness.
Robert Muller
Robert Muller, Assistant Secretary
General of the United Nations and author of "Most of All", "They
Taught Me Happiness" and "The New Genesis", wrote this
poem as an endorsement of Networking: The First Report and Directory by
Jessica Lipnack and Jeffrey Stamps.
Death
is Not Always Dying
by Susan Giesen
Why are you so afraid?
It´s all this war talk. My sons will all
be draft age very soon. I can´t bear the thought of them ...
Of them what? Are you afraid of them being shot?
No.
Are you afraid of them being disabled, losing
an arm, a leg, being blinded?
It´s not that. I could live with that and
so could they.
It must be death that you fear so much. The
thought of losing them.
No, it´s much worse than that.
What could be worse than that?
I´ve seen soldiers come home. It´s
the look in their eyes. My sons have never had that look, and I don´t
ever want to see it in their eyes.
What look?
Emptiness. Like their souls have been raped, and
their spirits smothered. They are walking tombs.
You see too many movies, and read to much.
If I had never seen a movie or read one book, I
would still know that this is true. My heart tells me that my children
can die for another, but they cannot kill without becoming their own enemy.
There are more ways than one to be dead.
From the antalogy Women Against
Military Madness and Women Poets of the Twin Cities, 1994 (US $10). WAMM,
310 E. 38th St., Suite 225, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
"How
to keep laughing..."
A
Strong Woman...
"Rose
can teach you..."
When will it appear, the sunrise of that
day
when humanity will turn itself to light of
Truth,
when the appeal of those who are helping
is finally heard and their words are enacted?
But come what may! I intend to strive
as though the time were already here!
Zarathustra, 600 B.C.
There will be no Peace if
there is no Justice
There will be no Justice if there is no Equity
There will be no Equity if there is no Progress
There will be no Progress if there is no Democracy
There will be no Democracy if there is no respect for the Identity and
Dignity of the Peoples and Cultures Rigoberta Menchu (Nobel Peace
Prize Winner)
