no running water? no electricity? yeah, us poor souls on the other side of the world have barrels full of rain/well/river water and sporadic (frequent) "lights off" events. it's strangely humbling, and forever frustrating when you're typing a message to divinecosmos message boards and "ohh! lights off! darn!"

charles,

hopefully i am reading your message correctly and that you weren't offended. i used the term "poor" rather ambigiously here; again, not meant to offend, but "sympathetic". here in the states we often think the whole world lives like we do, when that is surely not the case (nor should it be). unfortunately, i have not had the opportunity to live outside the us, so all is speculation on my part...

anyway, i liked your ps quote. there was another member living in africa, tsandi, whom we haven't heard back from in some time. i'm curious as to how the "consciousness rising" is spreading on that continent...

take care,

art
