Continued conversation on Toward a Sea Change:

Suzanne writes: Re: Where the Bodies Are and Poisoning the Well: These are penetrating – they sound like the real story. I wonder if this is controversial. If it's not, I wonder why people are being supportive of what is going on. |
Kim McDonald replies: My guess is the FACTS are not controversial. I think it's impossible to answer your wondering "why people are being supportive of what's going on." Ignorance? I can't count how many times I've heard on radio talk shows callers actually saying, "They deserve it for what they did to us." How could anyone have such a small mind as to not be able to see that it was not the Afghan people – not even the Taliban – that did 9/11 to us? I just don't get it. That's why it's an impossible question to answer. Someone once told me, in response to my wondering how someone could possibly do whatever it was they did, "If you could think like them, you'd be like them." Thank God I'm not like them. It is incredibly challenging to exist as a non-violently oriented person in a world where violence is still accepted as necessary. How strange that such a world exists – where these extremes are possible – and that I am a living, breathing part of it. We must continue to live peacefully in the midst of the violence all around us, with compassion – even for those who would lead us off to war and kill so many innocent people. The Poisoning the Well piece says: "Notwithstanding its invocation of humanitarian concerns, the U.S. government has shown a criminal indifference to human life. It has sabotaged one of the few truly noble, truly heroic efforts in the modern world – humanitarian aid. It has also severely tainted public discourse, to the point where it is difficult to know what is true and what is not." Sure gives one cause for pause. |

Suzanne replies: Ah, this is such a grown up thought: "We must continue to live peacefully in the midst of the violence all around us, with compassion – even for those who would lead us off to war and kill so many innocent people." Of course. It's what Richard Gere got booed for at the benefit concert in New York. |

Doctress Neutopia writes: Suzanne, I am very touched that you included my poem in your reading list. Those crop circles are amazing. I wish we knew more about them. |
Suzanne replies: I've been trying to press the crop circle community into making statements like yours (I sent it to the listserve I run for them), but they are surprisingly passive in the face of our world situation. The people closest to the phenomenon and most passionate about it don't seem to see it as a salvation now. My thought is that if the world knew we were being visited, we'd be at that different level of consciousness than the one in which our situation was created, which was Einstein's formula for how to solve the unsolvable. What else can put us outside our implosion? |
|
Doctress replies: Suzanne, I feel that our leadership (even within the crop circle group) doesn't listen because they are still in the trance of patriarchal rule. As long as patriarchal concepts rule, then we will not be able to discover the wisdom of the circles...or anything else for that matter. Have you see the circles? I was in England several years ago and walked through one. That is when I became involved with the mystery. I have also studied the Stones which is why I was in Avebury. I would love to know more about the circles. Your insights are most welcome! |
Suzanne replies: I'm a crop circle aficionado – I was in England all summer producing a crop circle documentary (see my crop circle page). I think they are the great secret hope of this so far hopeless time. I never thought of patriarchy as the problem for crop circle awareness, but in a sense it's the problem for everything. (Did you see my great 9-11 feminist piece, More Shock and Horror?) |

Michela Zanchi writes: Thanks for including me in your illuminating page. I am deeply moved by the need to erase poverty in the world, and am very aware that now is the time for information to be shared to support the integration of all polarities into wholeness and oneness as we all ascend to a new level of being, of evolution. We are here now to bring down the light into our frail bodies and let it transform us, our DNA, too, into more conscious co-creators. We are here as humans to manifest LOVE into matter. Love is a tangible energy that is now enveloping this planet and causing the darkness to come to the surface for us to recognize and integrate it and neutralize all of it. As part of evolution, none of us will escape this awakening. Let us help others awaken so that they will embrace themselves with less pain, less misery, less ignorance. Many of us have been through the dark night of the soul already. We all know that it is not necessary for the whole world to suffer to go through a shift. We can now grow and shift with an awakened mind and an open heart through joy, not by repeating the old paradigm of pain and crisis and violence and revenge to push us through. |
Suzanne replies: You are such a juicy person, Michela. I'm not so sure about your conclusion – I can feel these wheels grinding slowly to awaken us, as only the forced nature of the situation could evoke at this time. My old esoteric studies seem apropos, where I learned that humanity climbs slowly up, where the denser undercurrent needs blasting by tragedy to loosen its hold. Hitler served mightily to advance civilization, and at some unthinkable but graspable level, "we needed that." Arghhhhh. How much do we still need? Well, we don't know, and folks like us are pressing to lift things as soon as they can be lifted by the power of understanding and alignment with the light. |

Angel McCoy writes: I'm deeply flattered that you chose to quote me on your site, in the company of so many wonderful words and names. The messages there spoke directly to much of what I've been feeling and thinking since September 11. You've created a valuable and noble connecting place for those struggling to find love and sanity in the bustle of what is happening. I applaud your endeavor, and thank you for spreading a message of love. If you don't mind, I would like to tell people that you've quoted me. I originally had second thoughts about it – it feels too much like bragging, but then I realized that the message your site relays requires that I do so. Otherwise, I become the dead end. I don't want to do that. So, I will send my friends and others to look at your site. |
Suzanne replies: How sweet – and don't we need to be sweet now! It's not bragging, but conspiring, methinks... |

Sharif Abdullah, (included in our Quotes Page) writes: Great Website. I'm looking forward to some hours of reading. I will make sure you are among the first to get the news of the new Commonway initiatives around the "Commons Cafe". (More info on our website.) How can I be supportive of your efforts? |
Suzanne replies: Hi Sharif – Thanks so much for asking. It seems to me that a missing link now is horizontal communication. And the Net – somehow – could support that. I'm a part of several efforts in that direction. Tricky business, this aligning is. So I'm in a questioning mode about that. I do trust the power of alignment – from that small group of thoughtful, committed citizens that Margaret Mead talked about, on to what the Net could support. So how to do this? Well, just for a thought between us – a small group if there ever was one – how would it be, for the conversation on my site, if each person just added something that was currently on their mind (and optionally anything else after that)? Like for me, this morning on TV some government official was explaining how well the English coped with World War II, where for six years they never knew when they were going to be bombed. He was reassuring us that we could manage. Arghhhhh. It's amazing that we are acting as if events have happened that we need to handle, rather than recognizing this as an ongoing siege with not even a six year end in sight. And reassuring me that I can survive hell isn't the good life I want. This is different from the Commons Cafe. I'm not looking – for now – to persuade anybody who doesn't think like me. I'm just so aware that communications are coming at me and there isn't any cross-connecting. I can't prove that this compiling and interweaving will do a damn thing, but my intuition tells me that it could. I love what you say on your site: "This continues to be an information-based site. We have no intention of 'entertaining' you. If you want entertainment, go to the Disney site. If you want to create a fundamentally new society, you've come to the right place." Ditto. |
|
Sharif posted an article to his Common Way list, Avoiding a Generation of Terrorism in America: Ten Lessons From Sri Lanka. Here are some excerpts: "Three weeks ago, the Tamil Tigers attacked and blew up a fuel ship in Jaffna Harbor, a successful suicide attack in one of the most heavily defended waterways on the island of Sri Lanka. You probably didn’t hear about it. Sri Lanka is a world where suicide bombings are so routine they don’t make a ripple in the international news. (And, since Americans did not get killed, the Western press deemed it unimportant)." "What each side says about the other is true. What they say about themselves is not. Each maximizes the sins of the other, while minimizing their own. Both sides commit atrocities. Each justifies its actions while vilifying the actions of the other." "Articulate the "third way" position that is against VIOLENCE, not against either of the parties to the conflict." "Help all parties understand that it simply doesn’t matter who "started" the conflict. The willingness to use violence creates the "aggressor". There are no innocents in modern warfare." "Do not allow extremists on either side to dictate the dialog on war and peace. Understand that the purpose of violence is polarization and separation – refuse to be separated from 'the Other.'" "War cannot end by the consciousness that creates and maintains it. War will end only with a profound shift in consciousness." "More violence creates more killing, not resolution. The only way the conflict can end is by both sides talking to each other." [You can read the whole piece at: http://www.commonway.org/CWI911-17.html#avoidingtop.] |
Suzanne replies: Sharif – This is very good. That you speak from first hand experience in Sri Lanka makes it so important. The opening paragraph is truly startling – that we haven't had a clue while suicide bombings have become routine during two decades of terrorism in Sri Lanka, "since Americans did not get killed, the Western press deemed it unimportant." This is where we have to change. It's a learning that we are a one life. We've never really felt the whole of humanity until this. But no one is exempt now from feeling the pain, as in "We're all New Yorkers," so maybe we can make a collective choice to be different now. The futility of the mind-set that just keeps fighting in Sri Lanka is so graphic, and the consequences so appalling, that it's what we need to be taking in to educate us. "Making War Unthinkable" is something of mine I've posted that relates. |

Vicki Robin, New Road Map Foundation writes:
We're on the same track again – mighty companions indeed. I recognized some of your favorites as my favorites – Geov Parrish for sure. If you have any feedback on what I'm trying to do, given your longer history with salons, let me know. I hope you are well and, indeed, thriving. This year I’m in Seattle, shepherding a flock of countless details for the Conversation Café initiative. Like pixels on a screen, I hope these little dots (matching Cafés and hosts and volunteers and video crews and radio interviews and celebrities and trainings and Galas and juicy questions and other dialogue initiatives and websites and…) create a beautiful picture: a culture of conversation. In part, I have 9/11 to thank for all this busyness while others are out skiing. My life experience tells me that wisdom arises out of asking the right questions in the right settings in the spirit of inquiry, curiosity, compassion and respect. Watching, stunned, those towers – and our illusions – getting hit and crumbling, watching the curling smoke of our fears and needs arising from that rubble, we desperately need evocative spaces for wisdom to enter. Where? How? Just when we need a real, living democracy with town meetings and town squares, I looked around and found a society mesmerized by TV, out patriotic-shopping in malls and segmented into thousands of islands of mutually reinforcing opinions. Where, indeed? How about in public – in actual Cafés? So, with a growing circle of friends, I’ve nurtured these Conversation Cafés into being. The future is up to us and the time is always now. It’s very late – much more than we like to admit has gone awry in our world. Yet there is reason for hope – much more than we know is going very right. Yes, the tide is turning – but not fast enough. The seeds of a thriving, just and sustainable world are sprouting, but they will not survive without each of us pouring our energy into this healthy future. Life is too precious to be a spectator sport. We are no longer merely fans, rooting for the winning team. We are the team. We are the grown-ups. Whatever you believe is true, now is the time to give your respectful, inquisitive and compassionate self to it. May we not let our silence give consent to less than what we know is possible. In the history of the Universe, all times carry the stress of creation. These are our times, filled with war and inequity, ecological crises and extinctions. These are our times, filled with communication and love, intelligence and reconciliation of ancient wounds. So hey, let’s let the good times roll. |
Suzanne replies: Very impressive what you are doing. A big wow! That's something wonderful that all those speakers who tell their same stories for big bucks at conferences and workshops could do – really get into Life with the folks. Sure would like to sit at a table with Margaret Wheatley! You must know what Sharif Abdullah is up to. For sure the facilitation is key. The conductor has to be good. Also the grist – what are you going to chew on? Useful to have something pithy, rather than just mushing along with everyone's goodwill. I've been to a few panels of really first rate folks, but it has felt like common indignation that goes nowhere. My best shot at what would improve the arena would be to talk about radical solution at this critical time – how the hell to avoid the extermination of the human race. What I just put up is a good core, Seven Keys to a Safer Nation. And then I'd add even more dramatic things, like what I'm talking about in my current update re UFOs and crop circles. I also suggest we give ecstasy to the people we are holding whom we want to give us info. This is life or death, so we better think outside the box. I'd probe for thinking like this at this time. If it goes well there, let's talk about what I might do to replicate it here. Sharif already has a Los Angeles facilitator and I'll see what happens in a few weeks. |
|
Vicki replies: Great input. Thanks, Suzanne. Yes, in the absence of pointed topics, good hosting is key. And yes, Sharif is connected with our project. We have a Cafe Collaborative that's working on a January (and beyond) initiative, getting lots of conversations going around similar questions and then reflecting together on the outcome. I like the idea of 'radical solutions' as a thought starter. At the same time, I'm finding that I am very interested in the dialogue process itself – a slower process, more ambiguous, but with spaces for the Universe to speak. So, yes, lets talk replication. I think one reason this is radical here and commonplace elsewhere is that we are such a car and TV culture – so few public spaces. Need to reclaim the commons, real time. |

Allan Savory, who wrote the Five Star piece Ramblings, writes: Sue...many thanks for doing this. I have passed your site on to others as there is so much good information here. Tragically all the mistakes I thought Bush would make, he is! |
Suzanne replies: You point out the need to "address the root cause of social and environmental problems rather than the symptoms." Isn't this the penultimate situation now in which this is the vital directive? How are we ever going to breathe freely otherwise? So how to do this? How about you're feeding something back to me that's on your mind, like my reaction to what was on TV this morning about the London bombing [see my reply to Sharif above]? |
|
Allan replies: I value what you are trying to do. In ways, it parallels my concern and efforts over many years – but coming at the situation from a different angle. Although it is vital to exchange views and open debate across a broad spectrum of society, I believe more will ultimately be needed to permanently address the situation. Let me try to explain... |
Suzanne replies: I feel enormously honored that you have taken the time to give me this history lesson. It is like we are in a giant learning process – an organism is oozing into existence. The magnitude of the current horror has flushed out so much intelligence that at the level where I – and others like me, I am sure – have felt despair at being so alone, well that has had a big amelioration now... [If I ran the world, I'd put people in management, or in any other situation that could profit from planning and conflict resolution, in touch with Allan Savory. A must-read that explains his ideas and work is his Keynote Address to the Sustainable Business Symposium. Not only does Allan have a methodology for how to organize a system, but he also is on to the single thing that the world could do differently that would turn around the ecological degradation that is so threatening to our survival: "The underlying cause of so much violence and far more and worse to come is the state of the environment and resource depletion...Unfortunately we cannot yet break through the ignorance in our governments and educational system about the fact that in most of the desertifying lands it is underuse and not overuse leading to the degradation." To get the idea of the kind of success Allan has had, visit the "Meet our Clients" page on his Website. ] |

Allan writes: Here's a great quote from this article someone sent me: "One thing's for sure. What's essentially (as opposed to incidentally) wrong with our insane world is not the crashing of airplanes into the World Trade Center. That is a symptom. The disease is far worse." |
Suzanne replies: The quote is of course right on. But I don't know, Allan. For me, there's not enough poetry in this piece to carry such a stinging indictment. Without poetry, the sins of capitalism don't equate to this flight of fancy that the towers were – or the phantasmagoria that New York is. Abraham Maslow said, "Capacities are needs." There was art of a civilization highly skilled in its technology in them thar towers, which he castigates saying, "The first insanity is that people should live and work in buildings that are 1500 feet high...If we lived in a sane world, the thought that 12 million people would choose to live and work on an 11 mile by 1 mile Island, piled on top of each other 1500 feet into the air, just to keep the world's financial fiction spinning and steaming and churning, just to keep the pockets of the relatively very few wealthy stuffed ever more and more to capacity while the rest of the world's men and women remain enslaved as wage-earners and deprived of the liberty of property ownership...that thought would be surreal." Let's not destroy the beautiful in people and the dedicated and the passionate, as we rightfully deal with much needed changes of perspective. Maybe it's my mood today – that's just how it struck me. |
|
Allan writes: Great article in the New York Times that spells out in principle pretty well what we need to do not only there but world wide: In Pakistan, It's Jihad 101. |
Suzanne replies: Thomas Friedman is widely read, so maybe his voice will get through. There are some heavy duty transformational thought shapers getting together in the Macro*Memetics Project at the Arlington Institute. I wonder if you'd have a big piece for them. |
|
Allan replies: It will be interesting to see what comes from the Macro*Memetics Project. Sometimes, and I think this is possibly one of those times, the solution to seemingly incredibly complex situations is elegant and simple. Almost everything we are experiencing arises from policies at one level or another – local or national governments, corporate or institutions such as World Bank, FAO, etc. This is simple fact. Having worked on looking at resource policies holistically for many years now with people at all these levels – corporate, government (local and national – US and other nations), FAO and WB and found (as did those bureaucrats and corporate officers working with me in these workshops) that unsound policies affecting resources (ultimately land and thus economies and society) were almost universal. It is no surprise that so much is going wrong at the large complex level. When there is no simple explanation, we automatically tend to attribute it to complexity beyond our ability to comprehend or manage. I repeatedly find myself using the analogy with floods. They are vast, complex and destructive, but they always simply start as small drops of rain hitting dry soil and spattering dust, then damp, then wet soil and finally beginning to run in trickles becoming ever larger till we have floods. The US, other governments and international agencies continue year after year to try to deal with them at the stage of floods and continue to do nothing to tackle them at source or basic cause – high proportion of bare soil over the catchments or watersheds! So I see people attempting to address these macro problems at the flood stage while doing nothing at all yet to address them at the root cause level. I must confess to becoming uneasy when I see people resorting to the use of high tech – GIS – etc., in place of first using simple commonsense. I highlight commonsense because, apart from what I have experienced, I note John Ralston Saul in his book, Voltaire's Bastards, concludes that there are two common characteristics of anything emerging from a bureaucracy – it lacks humanity and commonsense. With regard to the present situation (Bush and his war against terrorism), I foresee Bush missing the wonderful opportunity he has been presented to truly provide world leadership. He will miss it because he will 'win' in the short term and overcome the present threatening individuals and organizations and his popularity with the mass will be so high that he will feel no need to dig deeper. Just as I originally predicted, our strength is our greatest weakness as we will rely almost entirely on strength rather than deeper thinking and actions. I believe we are seeing this scenario unfold daily with the success stories on CNN etc. It is like the Bush administration successfully putting a lid firmly on a boiling pot of water - not the solution we and the world need. Many people will have woken up and will be, as they are, thinking more deeply – but the majority will be pleased with the obvious success, as will Bush. To date I still have heard no word from any source about the basic underlying connection to land and its health and inevitable consequences to societies dependent upon it, or to our educational systems, corporate policies, etc. and their effects on the many countries suffering land degradation such as ours but lacking our wealth to mask the situation. I am afraid much more time will need to pass and many more tragedies before there is a widespread awareness of the connections and ultimately simplicity. |
Suzanne replies: As always, I am struck by how your pictures parallel mine, like we come from some same jigsaw puzzle, where our pieces fit together. You are echoing my deepest thoughts about the implosion we are in with these words of yours: "The US, other governments and international agencies continue year after year to try to deal with them at the stage of floods and continue to do nothing to tackle them at source or basic cause..."And now I feel like you have shaped me into the configuration of one of your puzzle pieces, about desertification. One possibility, as evolution goes, is that big things can come to be from just a little bounce back and forth, and I feel like I've become one of your playmates in the catch game we are playing over this issue. It's on my screen now, where I notice what comes up that might provide more play. Perhaps I can be part of the ground floor of a great contribution your discernment might produce. In the spirit of that bounce around analogy, I'd like to expose a few people to a book written by Joe Simonetta, another of the people with whom I've struck up conversation since 9/11. You might familiarize yourself with our conversation, and I'll have the publisher send you his slim book, Seven Words That Can Change the World. See if you think this could offer some glue for cohering a wisdom council of sorts that could go on the consider the work of the other originals, like yourself, who would comprise this little huddle. [ALLAN'S REPLY IS POSTED IN OUR JOE SIMONETTA CONVERSATION...] |

Ed Elkin writes: Forwarding this compilation, "The Big Brother Files #8: The Dark Underbelly of US History Is Being Exposed," from Mr. Jean Hudon (Quebec), founder of the Earth Rainbow Network and one of the most dedicated networkers I know. I encourage you to send your best to him. Jean Hudon writes: |
Suzanne replies: Hi Jean – You are a trooper. I've seen a lot of what you send out and your efforts are breathtaking. As far as I am concerned, I don't want much conspiracy stuff in my frame. David Icke, for instance, I consider to be a dangerous fanatic – I've had a personal run-in with him to add to my repulsion about what he puts out. I know that there may be dark forces operating, but all of it is in realms of speculation that I'd prefer others who are so inclined pay attention to. Richard Hoagland house guested with me for about a month right after the Mars landing in which he had a Nazi story going about a previous Mars occupation, and I heard him in call after call and conversation after conversation fomenting all this ugliness, a la the dictum that if all you have is a hammer everything looks like a nail. This is energy I don't want to embrace. But, let's consider that you and I are allies in a simple, personal way. I love your idea of "forming a global spiritual community gradually empowering itself to contribute in shaping the future of this world." Here's my current thought about that as far as what I can do. I'm just chewing on it now, having emailed the people I've quoted and with them emailing be back asking what they can do. Here's what I've suggested: "It seems to me that a missing link now is horizontal communication. [Jean – I see you've got some of this going.] I trust the power of alignment – from that small group of thoughtful, committed citizens that Margaret Mead talked about, on to what the Net could support. So how to do this? "Well, just for a thought between us – a small group if there ever was one – how would it be, for the conversation on my site, if each person just added something that was currently on their mind (and optionally anything else after that)? Like for me, this morning on TV some government official was explaining how well the English coped with World War Two, where for six years they never knew when they were going to be bombed. He was reassuring us that we could manage. Arghhhhh. It's amazing that we are plugging holes in the dyke as if events have happened that we need to handle, rather than recognizing this as an ongoing siege with not even a six year end in sight. And reassuring us that we can survive hell isn't the good life I want. "I'm not looking – for now – to persuade anybody who doesn't think like me. I'm just so aware that communications are coming at me and there isn't any cross-connecting to weave the web of oneness. I can't prove that this compiling and interweaving will do a damn thing, but my intuition tells me that there could be some magic in it." What do you think? |
|
Jean replies: Thanks for sharing your site and your thoughts with me. Who knows what may come out of this! We are all sitting at our computers and interacting at our own pace – and according to our own personal interests and time-availability – in a virtual forum out of which it is very hard to derive strong consensual decisions and plans of action. At best we can each individually choose to support any given initiative – sign an online petition, meditate along with others in a global rendezvous of minds and hearts to assist in any given critical situation, and so on. But as far as making a concerted effort to lobby for or against something like so many pressure groups and NGO campaigns try to achieve, this is quite another ball game for which this email and so distant-from-one-another format is not very conducive, in my own personal experience. Ultimately what I feel we need to recognize is that this "cross-connecting to weave the web of oneness" you wish to see is in fact already occurring through these virtual global communities. The noosphere concept described by Theilhard de Chardin is, to me, more than a mere nice imaginative idea, but an actual reality. We do all share very powerful common bonds of love – in a continuous symphonic orchestration of responses to the inner callings of our One Divine Self. This is gradually changing the face of this planet, one soul at a time. This is what I choose to invest my living awareness in. |
Suzanne replies: Like you, I also think "it's happening" without any organizing. But for me, especially now, being activated in the face of the possibility of the eradication of humanity, I keep itching to amp things up. We are gadflies in this world instead of a force, and perhaps the creation of such a thing can be encouraged. In the process, we are invaluable to one another – as we mirror each other it seems to me our own awareness grows exponentially, which will in turn affect everything positively. Maybe it's not what we do in organizing ourselves as a force, but the actual becoming of a more conscious loose knit community. How can it be that we can create an ambiance that works? It is some combination of the right people and the right facilitation and the right editing it seems to me, if there is indeed any chance. Hoping we can make some sparks... |

Jeannie Blum writes: My dear woman..nice to hear from you again. Thank you for sending me the Moyers piece. This fear thing is interesting. When twin towers happened, my husband wanted me to immediately cut my Greek trip short and return to Maui because he was afraid for me. How could I, in all good faith give in to fear if I am to truly live the Tao of my profession? He did not understand. Yet, had I returned, based on his fears, I would surely have succumbed to Dengue Fever which has recently hit Maui, the area of the island where we live. To get him to understand why I then would not return due to Dengue, I had to speak in terms of my 'fears' of getting it again, although I am not afraid of it, because I do not fear death. So here I am, in Greece, on a tiny island, unable to return home due to Dengue, and I know that it is all just as the Universe wants. We cannot fear anthrax, or terrorists. We can just live as best we can, loving all we meet, without racism or hatred or bigotry. It is all we are meant to do. Just love. |
Suzanne replies: You do have your unique journey. It's a well-founded perspective you add. And sharing how we are coping seems to me to be valuable. We create a multidimensional organism that way. I think our gadfly nature, where each person pokes at reality, isn't anywhere near as effective as this intertwined force that we could become. It seems to me there isn't a "right" way – even that idea of not giving in to fear isn't necessarily better than letting yourself feel the impossibility of this moment so that you can be impelled to create change. I can't step back far enough from this. I feel it more so than before, although I have felt the precursor to this, in how dangerous it was in a world so inequitable, where the instability would have to create breakdown. And I also feel this shame of sorts for allowing a world in which there is much suffering. It does keep me feeling somewhat oppressed, but the more the world spins out of control the more I can't detach. A sweet vacation seems like an impossibility, for instance. Even the thought of a juicy love affair I can't picture outside of it happening in the war torn world. Maybe I can find me a nice revolutionary. |
