I read an article today written by a man who has a broken heart. His name is Hal Crowther and he has not lost a lover, he feels like he has lost his country. He opened his heart to write about his frustrations and disillusionment. I really admire him for doing it and I have faith that the process of opening his heart will bring light into the world.
Others have written and spoken out like him but because he opened his heart the words have taken on added power. I read this piece on the heals of Al Gore’s most recent speech at New York University. He looks to me to have opened his heart also. His words are being delivered with a new vigor and a new purpose.
I was so invigorated upon hearing Mr. Gore and then saddened to read Mr. Crowther’s words. My way of dealing with my sadness is to put links to the words of these two men here in my blog.
With Trembling Fingers

Have you ever participated in a sweatlodge? I have and I am a better woman for it. I was selected to be the Water Woman for our ritual because I was the oldest. I am a crone and take it seriously. This is my space to throw water on you just when you think you can't take anymore heat.
