(..An informative comment I've reposted from a blog about same-sex marriage and the Baha'i teachings. -rogr)

MARRIAGE SHOULD BE SACRED FOR ALL AMERICANS.
ALL of America’s best experts on family, mental health and children agree that America would benefit if same-sex couples could have civil marriage.
The National Library of Medicine scientific research publications all confirm that sexual orientation is natural, biologically induced in the first trimester of pregnancy, morally neutr... read more

THE SITUATION

In Washington , DC , at a Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007, this man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, approximately 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After about 3 minutes, a middle-aged man noticed that there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then he hurried on to meet his schedule.

About 4 minutes later:
The vio... read more

You've got unfinished business with someone
And unfinished business with someone else
And then unfinished business building up
with everyone in the world itself

Here's an unfinished letter to a complicated friend
And an unfinished parting and a collection of loose ends
And an unfinished train of thought, saying
What does it matter that I'm no longer playing.


I am becoming unfinished
The more I come together
This is all the business
Of getting wise and clever
Older and bett... read more

You Do Not Have Health Insurance

by: James Kwak

Right now, it appears that the biggest barrier to health care reform is people who think that it will hurt them. According to a New York Times poll, "69 percent of respondents in the poll said they were concerned that the quality of their own care would decline if the government created a program that covers everyone." Since most Americans currently have health insurance, they see reform as a poverty program - something that helps poor peo... read more

Thank you for looking at me the way you do

To all the beautiful, kick ass, fierce and full-bodied femmes out there, I would like to extend my thanks to you.

It is for you that I press my shirts and carefully iron my ties. It is for you that I make sure my underwear and socks match. It is to you that I tip my cowboy hat. It is for you that I polish my big black boots.

I know that sometimes you feel like nobody truly sees you. I want you to know that I see you. I see you on the street,... read more

Letter: Gay Marriage Lawsuit
New York Times


To the Editor:

Re “In Battle Over Gay Marriage, Timing May Be Key,” by Adam Liptak (Sidebar column, Oct. 27):

The pivotal exchange in one of the lawsuits now challenging the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage shows that the opponents of gay people’s freedom to marry still can’t give a real answer to the key question posed in yet another court by yet another judge: “What would be the harm of permitting gay men and lesbians to mar... read more

about me
In an attempt to classify my spiritual leanings, someone once referred to me as "agnostic with Baha'i tendencies". Hmmm...

I'm quiet and withdrawn. Mostly. I'm self-propelled (likes to move about urban environments with gentle and invigorating pedal-up and pedal-down motion). I make music. I work in picture framing. And am perpetually playing hide-and-seek with my muse.

world peace today.
