Suzanne & the Black Panthers. ~ Sherri Rosen
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 8, 2012
I came to the Party with that background. I taught people how to read, fill out forms (welfare, social security). I would help them write letters to their sons in Vietnam, and be able to read information concerning them. Then we started the breakfast program. It was Huey's idea that we needed to do more things in the community.77 views

Be Grateful for Newt Gingrich? ~ Monique Ruffin
by elephantjournal.com on Feb 1, 2012
The question is, "Are we ready to look within ourselves for our inner Gingrich? Do we have the courage to acknowledge our own ideas of elitism and our desire to exclude those we see as different or less-than? Have we ever lied to or cheated on those closest to us for personal gain?"61 views

I Know How God Feels.
by Karl Saliter on Jan 27, 2012
I find the rhino more noble than Jerry. There is a perfection in the beast, which the killer hiding behind his gun (and the backup guns all around him) lacks. I believe paying hunters are cowards and thieves. They hide under the strong arms of the professional hunter. They are stealing a false sense of virility, which they wear like the cheapest cologne on the planet. They don the fool's grin, but not in a good way.374 views

Cow Kung Fu.
by HawaH on Nov 23, 2011
Scrambling for a new way to live. Carving trees with tattoos and sewing peacock feathers onto our clothes… spiritual soldiers renaming the birds and peering deep into the ocean to see where all the fish have gone. Plastic floats upon the ocean water... it does not sink, so there is still a chance for us to see it... collect and gather what we have forsaken and lost.219 views

by Dearbhla Kelly on Nov 3, 2011
Philosophers and sages throughout the ages have counseled us that beauty and truth lie in what is eternal and that true happiness is to be found in loving that which is permanent and transcends the particular.

Occupy your heart?
by Writing Our Way Home on Oct 24, 2011
When I look into my own heart, there is anger on the surface - that people are loosing their jobs, and homes, and that we are part of a system which sends wealth to a small few. When I look deeper there is sadness, for all those people affected by this financial crisis. And sadness for those perpetuating the crisis, stuck in a cycle of greed. I am sure they are not truly happy, even with all the filthy lucre in the world.784 views
