“The best thing for being sad is to learn something. Thatis the only thing that never fails. You may grow oldand trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awakeat night listening to the disorder of your veins, youmay miss your only love, you may see the world aboutyou devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honourtrampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only onething for it then ~ to learn. Learn why the world wagsand what wags it. That is the only thing which the mindcan never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by,never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting.”- spoken by Merlyn the Magician in T. H. White’s, *The Once and Future King*When Your True Heart...by Diane BodachWhen you find yourself at the bottom of the ocean no one has to say, “Swim!Swim for your life toward the light!”Your arms, your heart, your legs, your lungs, your brain, your eyes, every partof you is fixated on that point of light,and your body works with all the efficiency of which it is capableto propel you toward it.When your true heart reveals to you that which you really want,though a lioness stands at the gate with teeth like snow white daggerspointing up and down, she will not keep you from entering.Ancient chains of clinging, judgment, This is how I do it”,mind and fear slip away like silk off silk.Open to your true heart and the surging tide that knows no seasonwill fill you up with JoyEVACUATIONby Bethany ArgisleWhen you are running for your lifewhen you are surrounded by firewhen air becomes rarewhen motion changes it’s speedwhen you are but a mere seedblown to bitsyour habitatyour life rhythmwe are all wildlifecrispy tornbeyond forlornsouls scorn choicestorched porchespanic in your heartswhen all you knowfragments and ashall the pastwhat is true shall arisehath drawn us closer to the roaring of the Galatic Growlat war against ourselvesat your front doorat forevermorethe smoke is so thickheroes step up to the fire’s ferocityhungry flames rising higherhigher than the mountainshigher than the skyare you ready to fly?are you ready to die?know your circlecalm your switchescalm your snitchquisitionbreathing is a treasurelove is the pleasurethe word blessing has the word LESS in it...Listen to KOWS, 107.3 FM,community radio for the Kindom ofOccidental and West Sonoma2-14-08 ~ www.westcountygazette.com27
