I love this saga, I love the Hard Times. It shows how arrogant, misguided and selfish parts of the city council can be. I was talking with a friend this evening and we eventually came to politics...He said that the strategy of the status quo is to wear down the opposition, and that our strategy should be the same, to wear them down right back. Congratulations to the Hard Times people, much love!
Be the still pool. Let your face reflect the glory, the wonder. Be the bud, prepare to blossom. Be the tree, grant shelter. Be the moth, seek the light. Be the lantern, guide the lost. Be the path, open the way for another. Be the wind-chime, let the breeze blow through you. Turn the storms into song. Be the rain, wash away, cleanse, forgive. Be the grass, grow back when you are trod upon. Be the bridge, reach in peace toward the other side. Be the soil, bear fruit. Be the gardener, create order. Be the temple, let the spirit dwell in you. Be the seasons, welcome change. Be the moon, shine through the darkness. Be the leaf, fall gracefully when your time comes to let go. Trust in the circle, to end is to begin. from "In a Japanese Garden" Many Crows ne Rosalind Nelson wrote: > The Strib Variety section has a profile of the Hard Times. > > http://www.startribune.com/stories/389/783778.html > > "Yet, there is a certain sense of mission-accomplished at the Hard > Times; a notion that a ragtag coalition of under employed rebels, backed > by an age-and status-bending carnival of supporters, can indeed fight > City Hall over something so small as a barely profitable vegetarian > restaurant, and something so large as principle." > > Rosalind Nelson > Bancroft-ward 8 > > _______________________________________ > Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy > Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: > http://e-democracy.org/mpls _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
