This Peace Pilgrim lady is clearly insane, but I admire her insanity, and wish I had that kind of faith. I remember first reading about Julia Butterfly Hill, and how she lived in a tree for almost two years to keep people from cutting it down. That's completely nuts -- and it's no surprise to find out that Julia suffered brain damage in a car accident before her tree-sit -- but so fantastic, too. I can't even imagine the difficulty involved, or imagine putting myself in that position.<br /><br />I once left the house with nothing but the clothes on my back. I emptied my pockets onto the front seat of my car and started walking. I intended to walk until I couldn't walk any more. I had no direction. I had nothing except despair.<br /><br />I walked several miles until I reached a section of New Jersey so full of highways and shopping malls it's almost impossible for humans to walk through it. I ended up in a mall. Finally I called my wife collect and asked her to come get me.<br /><br />She told me while I was gone my son, who was seven years old at the time, had spent the hours on the front lawn, waving his lightsaber toy around, so the light would guide me home.Chris Rywalthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15766746064219235983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-8354864965410083532006-12-28T07:42:00.000-05:002006-12-28T07:42:00.000-05:00PL - I just want to ask you something, Have you re...PL - I just want to ask you something, Have you read the Bible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-18079560701995314442006-12-28T02:40:00.000-05:002006-12-28T02:40:00.000-05:00You're forgiven, but the karma police have been pu...You're forgiven, but the karma police have been put on high alert.<br /><br /><a href="http://vanishingzero.blogspot.com/2006/12/pretty-lady.html">Here </a> are my answers to the questions you presented on Vox.Kønig Hasemörderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01322254865529472957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-84661487164697070502006-12-28T00:53:00.000-05:002006-12-28T00:53:00.000-05:00Ahhhhh, OK, accept my apologies.

And I'm not a Christian, I'm a Hindu.<br /><br />Look, I can see you're working, and probably even reading, and I'm glad you've got some work and appear to be somewhat more stable. That's WONDERFUL. But you're making a fool of yourself by repeating the same old assertions over and over, by engaging to get attention for yourself rather than to learn anything, and it DOESN'T HELP YOU. <br /><br />I know you have the kind of mind that can accomplish amazing things; other people seem foolish to you because of this, and you feel like you don't get the recognition you deserve. <br /><br /><i>But you need discipline.</i> You need discipline to clarify your own ideas, to test them rigorously, and to communicate them in a manner in which they will be <i>heard.</i> You're not effective any other way. I pay attention; most people don't have the energy to bother, and you don't make it easy for them. <br /><br />If I sound like a broken record, that's because I'm responding to what I'm seeing, and I'm seeing the same things over and over. <br /><br />Try reading Peace Pilgrim, anyway.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-49677944176245195772006-12-27T14:45:00.000-05:002006-12-27T14:45:00.000-05:00That was uncalled for.
