Spy The Beloved County - The Sequel
2008-10-02 19:52:00 (A follow-up of sorts to this post; by the way, there more stuff over here.)The Murdoch Street Journal (a good place for reasonably legitimate news) reported the following from here yesterday?WASHINGTON -- The Department of Homeland Security will proceed with the first phase of a controversial satellite-surveillance program, even though an independent review found the department hasn't yet ensured the program will comply with privacy laws.Congress provided partial funding for the program in a little-debated $634 billion spending measure that will fund the government until early March. For the past year, the Bush administration had been fighting Democratic lawmakers over the spy program, known as the National Applications Office.I don?t believe that?s correct; as this report from Tim Shorrock tells us??a National Applications Office (NAO) will be established to coordinate how the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and domestic law enforcement and rescue agencies use imagery and c...
The Spiraling Cloud of the Beloved
2008-05-21 20:34:00 A whispering soul within my soulawakens me in thecircling intimacy of the night,the way a gentle windmoves through the softness of evergreen.A thought swerves and scurries away,knowing it is not welcomein the true embrace of lovers.The ear is cushioned next to the heartto hear the rhythm and breathing of the other,aligning with a breath that winds its wayaround the moment like a silken song.As birds rest their wingsin the sheltering scent of pine,the spirit dissolvesinto the answering sighsof the saving warmth of love,cradled in a hidden nest,prepared from floating strandsof longing and desire.The Beloved waits for the open heart,the surrendered soul, and the purity of loveaware it has been createdto offer the gift of innocenceto the flames of truth.In sacred stillness, the sun seems to singas it creates a rising circle of fireto protect such a union.- Naomi
Join the ranks of the beloved elite!
2008-04-23 05:42:00 So, in some sugar induced madness, I decided a good way to spend my time this evening would be to type "social worker" into You Tube's search engine and see what appeared.I should have drank some wine first.There are some pretty angry people out there. And apparently some really BAD social workers. One woman has a series of videos entitled "My Evil Social Worker" which go on longer than your average sit-com.And I didn't stop with the viewing. Oh, no! I had to go and read the responses too. Some of the more favorable:"Social workers and CPS are evil." (Right, I think we established that up there.)"I love the way, you've caught the condenscending tone of voice that Social Workers use!" (Ok, we're condescending. I'm sure we've all had our moments...)"Social workers are the dumbest of the dumb in the American educational system." (Now that just smarts.)"Social workers are often more disturbed and insane than any of the people they 'help' " (I statement agree necessarily su...

2008-04-01 04:33:00 Lying here in the silent darkness,I am with my beloved,who lies quietly within me.We are resting in the peaceof the greatest love I have ever known.My heart is filled with a treasure,and a fortune beyond belief.I am a woman of words,yet, I feel helplessto describe the beautyof my beloved tonight.I feel reverence and gratitude.I am surrendered to loveand the beautiful wayslove touches me,tenderly cares for me,and gives me life.When I give myself to love,I see through love's eyes,speak with love's lips,touch with love's fingers,taste with love's tongue,and hear with love's ears.I let love breathe life into me,and I am adrift in a sea of union.I whisper, don't move,stay in this stillness with mefor a moment,I want to bask in the harborof your life within mine,and mine within yours.When I lift my hand,I feel yours lifting with me.When I arise, I feel you arising within me.When I feel your heart beat faster,mine beats in rhythm with yours.You answered my longing criesto come into m...
Messages from the Beloved Dead
2008-03-08 02:00:00 A while back, my best friend, Chad, my ex-boyfriend, Ron, Mom and I sat around my Grandmother’s bed for an hour or so just talking. She’d requested them specifically. We would all have been happy to indulge her in this holding of court, even if she hadn’t been on her death bed. We laughed ...

LOVER OF THE BELOVED : AISHA
2007-12-02 12:09:00 LOVER OF THE BELOVED : AISHAIt is the most unforgettable race in history, yet there are no spectators.Of the two racers, the younger one draws a line on the ground; the starting line.They are going to begin running from that point. The older one ties his shirt around his belly. A strange contest; he will not become upset if he loses. He looks at his rival with love and proposes a race. Can you imagine it? He is the man whom thousands of people follow; he is the one who split the moon with just a single sign from his hand! On the way to Badr he asks smiling, knowing that they are on their way to the most important battle of all times:"Would you like to race with me, Aisha?""Alright, Messenger of God!"In a blink of the eye the race begins. The Prophet (pbuh) and his beloved wife begin to run. Although they were not there at that moment, millions of people witnessed this joyful race through the words of Aisha. They look with admiration at the page of love created by the Prophet on the ...

JOHNNY, WE HARDLY KNEW YE - - Getting this John the Beloved
2006-12-21 03:45:02 - Resa LaRu KirklandWhile attending Highland High School in the early 80's, I would often see a book in our library entitled, Johnny, we hardly knew ye. It had a youthful and smiling JFK on its cover, and was a memoir written by two of the future-President's aides regarding his first run for Congress in 1946. I assumed the title had come from the fact that this particular Johnny died prematurely, but it actually turned out to be an old Irish war protest song. Oddly appropriate considering that the sixties ushered in the reign of this particular old Irish man, who brought in Vietnam, thereby creating that most useless of species, the Hippy. And oh! What that hath wrought.OK, so he wasn't very old. But to a teenager, he was ancient. And to a proud Reaganite, he stood for everything nauseating, selfish, and cowardly that his decade came to be. The book was drivel, which meant the Hippy Press loved it, the critics worshipped it, and at least one teenager wasn't buying it. He...

Fly, the beloved flag
2002-05-07 00:00:00 It's a potent symbol of unity and progress. It's the only six-coloured national flag in the world. It's also one of the youngest, yet whatever shape it takes - and it's taken more than any other national symbol - it's instantly recognisable to South Africans everywhere.
