    "I am the horizon
    you ride towards, the thing you can never lasso
    I am also what surrounds you:
    my brain

    tincans, bones, empty shells,
    the litter of your invasions.
    I am the space you desecrate
    as you pass through.
    - Margaret Atwood
    It costs so much to be a full human being that there are few who have the love and courage to pay the price. One has to abandon altogether the search for security and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace life like a lover. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying.- From the play, Courting Darkness, by M. Longley

  • "Regrettably, in many cases, the emphasis has changed from the desire to provide a needy child with a home, to that of providing a needy parent with a child. As a result, a whole industry has grown, generating millions of dollars of revenue each year..." - Commission on Human Rights, resolution 2002/92; E/CN/2002/79; page 25

  • "Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included." - Karl Marx
  • "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."- Friedrich Nietzsche
  • "Adoption is a violent act, a political act of aggression towards a woman who has supposedly offended the sexual mores by committing the unforgivable act of not suppressing her sexuality, and therefore not keeping it for trading purposes through traditional marriage. The crime is a grave one, for she threatens the very fabric of our society. The penalty is severe. She is stripped of her child by a variety of subtle and not so subtle manoeuvres and then brutally abandoned." - Joss Shawyer, Death by Adoption, Cicada Press (1979)

Oh My

In checking my daughters college calendar (to make sure I mail her stuff before she leaves the residence halls), I discovered they have a section of their site dedicated to graduation.

I clicked on over and then discovered they had their 2007 commencement ONLINE - video and audio.

I might be able to remotely (even after the fact) see her graduate after all.

I wonder if they will post the 2008 commencement too?

Suz, when I graduated a few years ago they started showing the graduation live on the internet so that friends and family that couldn't make it to the graduation could still be there in the moment. I sure hope they do this at your daughter's school - or at the very least post it after the fact!

I know most schools sell the video too.

Best of luck!!!

Oh Suz I'm crossing my fingers here. I really hope they do. (Even though I'm angry that you're not there) (And I wasn't sure if I should write that or not but it's how I feel)

Awesome! I just checked P's school, and they stream the event. I bet they'll have it, maybe even in real time!!
