Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Hey - all life is a gift, we just have to figure it out on our own. Whatever happened with you family is just what happened - if you did it, you are responsible. if you didn't, you are not. i know that bottomless pit of guilt, shame and utter fear that some one may know who i am. it doesn't have to ...

We are celebrating the release of our colleague.

Some of the most powerful words and lessons have come from men of great intelligence, sensitivity and compassion and because of this I don't believe we are that different. Somewhere along the line things got all f'd up. My personal belief is that a change took place in our human community/society ...

wow, stilltrukin' - you sure hit some soft spots with this one. i don't know what it is, but it is for real.

The hardest thing about living Kabul
Is not the constant dust
Is not the constant threat
Is not the constant lock down
It is having all these people around.

Around all of the time
Lock the door to keep them out
Lock the door to keep me in.

Carry my bag
Carry my lap top
Carry my cup of coffee ...

Hi Judih and Whitebird Sings.

Your words fill me with wonder at the glories of womanhood. So glad you are both in my life.

I am not a poet, or at least not all the time, so I'll venture in here and read your words and be ONE with all.

Peace,

Tilly

Hi. I moved here from Bulgaria so we were neighbors and didn't even know it.

We have to make our voices heard and ensure that other's, and especially women's, voices are heard as well. Each of us has an important mission to carry out and we must never ever give up, as the Dalai Lama says.

Thanks ...

Hi El Macho! I thought you would like to know that yesterday there was a signing of a petition for the safe release of Clementina. It was held at one of our partner organization's office compound and the press was there to cover the event and talk to us all and especially her colleagues from CARE ...

the above link will take you to photos of the BBQ we had at our house for our staff. It was so much fun for everyone. The men all danced with each other ...

Thank you, Whitebird Sings. I have shared this with my friends and colleagues in Afghanistan, Bulgaria and Nepal. it is a timeless piece and no less true today than it was in 1914.

We had the entire staff over for a BBQ today - it was a wonderfully fun event. the men danced and the women gossiped ...

More protests, more anger at Americans ... can I blame them? No, I cannot. We have to stand up and yell - make ourselves heard - stop the violence. Only when we practice non-violence can we honestly speak about peace.

I am desolate, depressed, scared, pissed off. Stop now!

"This universe is a dream that all six billion of us are collaboratively dreaming up into materialization together. When we realize this, we can put our lucidity together in a way where we can co-creatively dream a much more grace-filled universe into incarnation. This is nothing other than an ...

Hi, and thanks for your words.

The main thing we can do is to get the word out, urge and demand that well allocated (and supervised) funds are sent to Afghanistan and have good intentions – being Buddhist, I believe we are all one and if we put our intentions towards peace in the world it will ...

Hi, I have been in Bulgaria for a week. Sorry for the delay in responding.

Amazing how modern Sofia looks after 3 months in Kabul.

I will forward the email that contained the above words to you. It is meant to be passed on to everyone you know.

I don't know anything about Hashim Al-Shibli - is ...

Hi Judih ... thanks for the snapshop of Kibutz. I found it so interesting - yet, in some way disappointing as well. I guess people are people, no matter where you are and there are always those that don't/won't go for the common good. It does sound like there are more of you that do than don't in ...
