Joelle, you're saying "we can speak out too, though the words may not come easily, and we may not have answers to the hard questions".
and i suggest "we should speak" Ilse, thank you, i am very touched by your thoughtful and kind words. There is another turkish woman, Filiz, i know that she joined the list recently. And the listers, I really believe that we should be crtitical about the methods we use, these methods shouldn't divide, distance people from each other as we have being doing for centuries..we should not create more "others" more " enemies" more "conterparts". Another important point; we need to find the courage "to speak" ,"to listen" the issues which might be difficult to uncover.... ...we should start somehow, as soon as possible.......and we should help our customers, sponsors to do that..Writing these words, i know many of us are already doing this... Ilse is right many issues that have been like taboo are questioned and discussed now in Turkey..and personally i am very happy and hopeful about this process.... thanks, Funda ----- Original Message ----- From: Joelle Lyons Everett To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, December 19, 2004 8:59 PM Subject: Re: AI, Story tellyng etc. Funda, Ilse, Thank you to both of you for this deep and profound conversation. I think many of us feel helplessness, frustration, and an inability to speak coherently about hard issues like war, terrorism, inability to find work, and feeling insecure in our homes and communities. Your courage and honesty in speaking out helps remind us that we can speak out too, though the words may not come easily, and we may not have answers to the hard questions. I value your words on this list--they are a gift to me.
