Hi all,
I have been following the posts of this group and appreciate all of
your comments. Not much about me now but I would like to share with
you a quote from the inside book cover flap of a new book published
last month by Thich Nhat Hanh titled "Anger".

For Warmth

I hold my face in my two hands.
No, I am not crying.
I hold my face in my two hands
to keep the loneliness warm -
two hands protecting,
two hands nourishing,
two hands preventing
my soul from leaving me
in anger.

(He wrote this after hearing about the bombing of Ben Tre and the
comment made by an American military man, "We had to destroy the town
in order to save it.")

Peace and Wisdom to all of us,
Randy
