I "Heart" Cornel

"The courage to love truth is one of the preconditions to thinking critically."

"When you place a high value on truth, you have to think for yourself."

From Hope on a Tightrope by Cornel West

For 2009 --- Dance

Dance, when you're broken open
Dance, if you've torn the bandage off
Dance, in the middle of the fighting
Dance, in your blood
Dance, when you're perfectly free

Rumi

The Peace Pilgrim

She walked over 25,000 miles in support of world peace and died in a car accident. "Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."

Tinariwen

I'm so glad I discovered this group. Their music is inspired. Once you've listened you'll be a fan for life. (Check them out on my Playlist.) I'm waiting for their U.S. tour. I'll keep you posted.

Under Construction

I'm looking forward to making this blog my home away from home where I can sit back, relax and go to the cyberplaces I like the most. Until then...
