Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Greetings family, As a follow up to this story, I'd like to share some information I heard on pfw last week. A labor group (I forget the name) published a book entitled "troublemakers handbook." There is a website for the book entitled www.troublemakershandbook.com. On August 9th they will be hosting a tribute to Jerry Garcia, known as the leader of the Greatful Dead but also known as a strong supporter of unions. This tribute will be held at the IOTA club in Arlington,VA from 7:30-midnight. It will be an opportunity for folks to strategize ways to become less dependant on corporations responsible for violence. It will also be the first of what I understood to be several inspirational discussions supporting the creation of a new "culture of kindness." (a term I've been using lately). I plan to attend and I look foward to seeing family. Live foodists serve as the guiding light for harmony and positivity in our world. I hope to visit Ras Elijah's Java Greens first then head over to Arlington. If anyone's interested feel free to contact me-I won't be at a computer from the first of august-the 7th. Blessings of love, laughter and Eternal Health pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. What food might this contain?" He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning. "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it." The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house." The pig sympathized, but said, "I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow. She said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose." So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
