Happy Fourth of July, Goddess. It's a miserable, foggy day in San Francisco and I slightly envy you your existence in Martha's Vineyard right now. Still, I'm having a lovely time in my own apartment with a bad back, booze, pain pills and trashy sci-fi on the TV, namely a marathon viewing of "The 4400." Highly recommended, by the way.
My musings on current events, current projects, current anxieties and current delights.
I started this under the Bush regime when any grain of sand thrown into the gears of the over-reaching imperial state seemed worthwhile. In the time of Obama, those who seek justice and compassion need to learn how to work alongside as well as in opposition to our milieu. This is harder than some might think...
I'm a progressive political activist who runs trails and climbs mountains whenever any are available. I've had the privilege to work for justice in Central America (Nicaragua and El Salvador), in South Africa, in the fields of California with the United Farmworkers Union, and in the cities and schools of my own country. I'm a Christian of the Episcopalian flavor; we think and argue a lot. For work, I've done a bit of it all: run an old fashioned switch-board; remodeled buildings and poured concrete; edited and published periodicals, reports and books; and organized for electoral campaigns. I am currently an independent consultant to organizations seeking "help when you have to make a fight."
