Solstice thru New Years 2009 Light-the-World Jam

[Doreen Peri]

banana nut bread
a holiday treat
will bake some tonight
delish! mmm... swweeeeeeet!

(no raisins, no dates
but you'd love it.. tastes great!)

.....

thanks for the reminder... bananas are ready

[stilltrucking]

there it is
family and friends
the reason for the season
a celebration
good times good food
candles and lights
and cookies

"I just want to celebrate another day of livin'
I just want to celebrate another day of life"



I miss the myth too
Kate Smith singing God Bless North America
and a cotton flag with forty eight stars
when all the evil in the world was overseas somewhere


Maybe next year in Washington DC

[Artguy]

I think these holidays would be a good time to fast in honour of those who have no food.

[stilltrucking]

I think the holidays are a good time to honor the hungry by feeding them.
I am going to take your advice and make a donation to the food bank.


I could stand to fast myself
Not sure it would honor anyone
Just do it for myself.

I need to go on an Internet fast.

[Nazz]

yes, internet fast.
that's starting to sound better all the time.
man, the keyboard is addicting.

snow is almost gone now.
white christmas was overrated.
same as the non-white type.
but it's probably the last one
with the whole family together.
mom is such a beautiful soul,
and she is really struggling.
it's almost too much to bear
sometimes.
i haven't been myself.
i'm struggling too.
i try to escape sometimes
but it will take love
to live through.
no other way.

[Nazz]

Ha! "Internet fast"...
not very likely, I'd say.
Daylight growing now.
Daylight growing
slowly, at least.
That's more like it,
what I should keep in mind.
More light and warmth...
eventually.

[stilltrucking]

eventually
peace will break out
the guns will go silent

always a calm after the storm
a truce after the war
a hangover after the party

keyboard addiction yes
but also an illusion
of motion
of movement
through cyberspace

[gmart]

I guess its close enuf,

My new years resolutions, 2008.

I resolve to see what is
not what I want it to be.

I resolve to think before I speak

I resolve to speak out on injustice
no matter the consequences.

I resolve to trust my gut
because its never steered me wrong.

I resolve to seek the truth

I resolve to learn

I resolve to love

Gonna be one hell of a year!
Happy New Year Everyone!

[Artguy]

I resolve to remain unresolved, and to live up to nobody's ideal of perfection.....

[Arcadia]

in celebration spirit
this weekend
I made mex-food for eighteen ex-students of mine
that finished this year High School
(I met them when they were five year´s old
work with them daily for five years
and somehow didn´t lost touch with most of them)
it was great
and yeah, they were very hungry!"

new year´s resolutions?
to take it easy would be good!
gracias for sharing yours!!!!!!

[stilltrucking]

I have resolved to change my chromosomes next year
I am tired of being a chimp chump
I will be more like a bonobo
next year.

American woman, listen what I say
Don’t come hangin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your face no more
I don’t need your war machines

[jimboloco]
