Bella! You're quoting the Stones!
They are growing on you.  Yes, there has been so much progress.  So many external things that have changed that have allowed me to grow.  I have to remember that when I get frustrated with progress.  Revolution can mean a lot of things....some of them quiet. :)

We can't always get what we want but if we try sometime we might just ....
get what we need. The reflection in your mirror is looking good. Ca88andra is right - we have seen a metamorphosis in you and you sound happy.
I have no idea what my revolution is ... sometimes they just happen quietly or at least that's my excuse.

I went to bed relatively early last night...
it's rather amazing how close our ideas and ideals are, comes from being born during the death of the revolution I guess, I was born on June 7th '68; my parents were barely seventeen, but they had family in a way that's virtually unknown now (at least amongst anglos)...I haven't melted down the gun though, it's a hard fact that social movements acheive more when they are prepared to use violent means if provoked...to acomplish peace, prepare for war...

Okay my lovelies....

No one gets to give me a hard time for not posting if you aren't going to even comment when I do!   What did Isis say about no comments?  Hrmph!  Or something like that....

Tiffany, you really are so sweet to me.

To say my writing is phenomenal....I mean, I don't know how to even respond.  Thank you. I do feel like I've grown so much, and I think part of it has to do with writing this blog.  (Funny to attribute anything good to something called a "blog!")  I hope not to drown anyone, though!  But if that means that what I'm feeling comes through, than that is the ultimate compliment.  You've been such a supportive friend, thank you. 

Yes, dwell on the revolution and write an anthem of your spirit!

Temple, you should be proud of yourself. In the relatively short time that I have been here, the changes and decisions you have made have shown your growth and your writing has remained phenomenal. Sometimes I feel as if I'm drowning in your words and sometimes they sustain and satisfy me.

You ask what our revolutions are and I was going to answer briefly here, but I think it might make a good post, so I will dwell on it and write something in my blog. Take care, wonderful woman!
