Jasmine Blossoms

 

It's a pair of Jasmine blossoms I have growing. This plant loves the hot Kansas summer days and western, afternoon sun, yet also accommodates lots of water. It was torn up by a huge hail storm, once, yet grew back when given the chance. The flowers are very fragrant, with a very calming scent. Every home should have at least one jasmine plant.

Roseburg Oregon Fundraiser For Kyron

It has been almost four years since Kyron Horman disappeared from his school in Portland, Oregon, when he was seven years old. He hasn't been found, and everyone involved is frustrated. Well, almost everyone. Three people involved in the case do not appear to care. These three are Terri Horman, former spouse and sometime step-parent of Kyron, also the last known person to see Kyron; and her parents, Carol and Larry Moulton.

How fortunate for them that there will be a fundraiser this weekend in Roseburg, where they reside, to fund future searches for Kyron. They can support Kyron by getting their cars washed or making a donation. We will hope that they resist the urge to pass out flyers bearing incorrect information. If Terri Horman wants to raise money to search for Kyron, she should pose on a dunking tank and let passers-by throw beanbags to dunk her in a water tank. That would be a lot more productive than putting up posters containing misinformation.

Should Drinkable Water Be A Privatized Commodity?

How badly do you want corporations to own all the potable water? After watching so many of them lie and cheat, do you really think they would be fair in this venture, as well? How high should the price of potable water be driven?

Writing That Transcends Time And Space

Bagheera to Mowgli:

In the cage my life began; 

Well I know the worth of Man.

By the Broken Lock that freed-

Man-cub, 'ware the Man-cub's breed!

Scenting-dew or starlight pale,

Choose no tangled tree-cat trail,

Pack or council, hunt or den,

Cry no truce with Jackal-Men.

Feed the silence when they say,

"Come with us an easy way."

Feed them silence when they seek

Help of thine to hurt the weak.

Make no bandar's boast of skill;

Hold they peace above the kill

Let not call nor song nor sign

Turn thee from thy hunting-line.

(Morning mist or twilight clear,

Serve him, Wardens of the Deer!)

Wood and Water, Wind and Tree,

Jungle-Favour go with thee!

All the Mowgli Stories; Rudyard Kipling

Many Drops Of Water Make An Ocean

Here is some food for thought about the management of collective tasks. An ocean is not measured by the number of individual water droplets it contains. Drops of water fall as rain, evaporate, condense, and eventually rejoin the ocean as raindrops, once again. Each drop of water is needed, yet no drop of water insists upon playing a role other than that of a drop of water. Should a drop of water become tainted with another element, it becomes a drop of something other than water. Should many drops of water become tainted, the ocean becomes polluted. So it is in a collective such as Anonymous. One identity cannot become more present, or appear more encompassing, than any other. The purity we have in anonymity not only provides protection, it provides cohesion. By acting as many drops of water, joined together, we are an unstoppable force. The ocean begins with one drop of water, but we are all drops of water in the collective ocean.
