Dear honey,
Guess what - I am in a muddle. The plan that was meant to keep me feeling purposeful may not work out. I may have screwed it up by being too damn slow. As a wise woman once (ha!) said, I have one way of moving, and that is SLOWLY!
SO keep yourself ticking. All of us screw up, get sad, feel no hope. But we are the lucky, loved ones who will somehow, if we keep going, all be okay. You are more than potato fertilizer. That would be the biggest screw-up of all.
love

the whole figuring-things-out-trying-to-make-the-next-change-better process is a purpose in itself. so as long as i'm working on it i'm okay. it's just if i stop that i need to worry.
i know it sounds all cheesy advicey, but maybe it's true.

I stumbled onto this. May I recommend a book? Hope For the Flowers by Trina Paulus. It's short, but it helps.

Oh. My. Word. I have been battling with this for ages. Simply ages. I had these two fabulous courses last semester, and I'd get all steamed up and feel like I could change the world while I was in them, but then once I left, walked home in the cold, and tried to think about it again, I just didn't know what to do. I hate that feeling. But thanks for writing that, and getting me to think about it all again. Maybe this time I can figure out something to do.

It's true, it's so true. I read the other day that the richest 225 people in the world are worth more than the poorest 49% of the world's population <i>combined</i>. Sca-ree. Also, the richest 20% of us are using 80% of the world's resources. I think what we really need to do is change our view of what "developed" is, and stop trying to enforce that on the whole damn planet.

a LOT more people need to think like this.. like how you've written.. out loud.. and we need to fuckin' scream it. multinationalcorporations need to just.. ugh.. realize and repent.. and make things right.. stop chaining children to their work in the name of sneakers and designer jeans.. stop raping the world of its resources in the name of the almighty dollar.. fuck.. stop doing ANYTHING in the name of the almighty dollar.. i feel so ashamed sometimes, living in the system i do, living the life that i do.. knowing that all i can do is talk and not everyone listens; i can't fix things.. it makes me feel helpless and angry.. yarg.. it's just so goddamned unfair, huh?

i love how these message boards have memory now. anyway "what are we doing??"
MAKING MONEY! it makes the rolls on the CEOs go round, as they say.
I have very little faith in institutions to effect political solutions now.
What heartens me are the many seemingly small efforts on the part of courageous and decent people. while the cynics sit back and laugh, and the conrad blacks sneer at the "inferior" human beings.
I might start a book list link on my page to promote some of these efforts. Nice to hear you listen to Ideas. I like that show too. rah rah canada and the CBC.
