conversation with my son
by Mommie Dark inmy ten-year-old asked me why someone would want to hijack planes and crash them causing so much death and destruction.
i told him that it was the work of religious fanatics who had been trained to hate and fear those who do not worship their god their way.
he asked why anyone would suicide like that in order to kill so many.

4th of July
by Mommie Dark intomorrow is the official birthday of the usa.
usually, since i'm too lame to enjoy braving the crowds and walking the field, i content myself with staying home quietly and watching the celebration fireworks in washington via television.
this year, though, my extended family is having a big bash to commemorate the wedding anniversary of my elderly aunt and uncle.

change and stress
by Mommie Dark ini've been under medical/psychological treatment for prolonged distress stress disorder and severe depression for several years.
after a runaway ride on the rainbow pharmaceutical wheel, a retro-looking doctor gave me old reliable prozac... and it lit today in high relief for the first time in my living memory.
it was a good thing, martha.. for the first time in my life i felt that today was real, and that this moment was complete and intact and entirely void of dread.. amazing!.

political movement, cult, or wave of the future?
by Mommie Dark in!
http://welcomehome.org/rainbow.html.
i've known some of these folks for nearly thirty years; they do have some of the hallmarks of a cult, but the control is exerted exclusively through peer pressure, and they make almost a fetish of not having 'leaders'.... neotribalism is alive and well...

Street paved with gold
by Mommie Dark inwe have had thundershowers for the last hour, and the sun is setting through the last of the rain.
the wet street is reflecting the sun and the whole neighborhood is glowing; the streets are running golden rivers of runoff, and the sky looks like a molten metallic bowl.
it's changing even as i type this while gawking out the window.
