Raffi, Although I have been accused of being poetic, I (mostly) just like sticking sticks into wasps' nests. I know it's working when I get to see a few more of your cards.
Christy & Aart, thank you for sharing your wonderful words.

Yowza! Probably have some really great teachers! "De nada", huh? Talk about open space and Nothingness! Now, that's really Something! Yes, come back to me about FIV. I feel more and more that we cannot talk about and experience Spirit without occasional microdoses of the shockingly offensive and profane. For me, I think that if you don't have the profanity piece what you got is something that looks, talks, smells like Spirit but waaaay too tame for me. I'm a greedy guy, I likeSpirit. Lots and lots of it. A while ago Chris "Kairos" Corrigan blogged about a radio guy I'd turned him on to who's life's work is taking people to new places with Spirit using radio. Check out Joe Frank (www.joefrank.com) His Escape from Paradise, Eye in the Sky, and OJ Chronicles are fine starting points. In my opinion, even though Joe has been around some 30 years, he's still FIV-. He does engage in some risk behaviors, but at last glance still negative. Talking about FIV and psh'ers are the closest ways I think I can relatively safely go to those places in this public forum. This Oslist is a grand experiment too, just like ost. And sometimes my experiments have turned off some very important people. And while I feel it is right to go to the profane at times, something else is more important for me-- keeping up the conversation and maintaining connection. Here's to the non-contraction of flatland immunodeficiency virus! warmly, raffi * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
