Metta Meditation Modified

May you be filled with lovingkindness (even through all this) May you be well (despite the tempestuous circumstances)
May you be peaceful and at ease (though this may seem remote)
May you be happy (at least in this present moment)

Just Another Night at Café Illumination

After the talk on Operation Cast Lead
Carla Nguyen and I headed over to Café Illumination
Where we began processing what we heard

We sat outside as it was a balmy night
Odd how calm we felt
After the typical brouhaha and sparks flying

We were surprised
When an older man approached us
"Hi, the name's Cal...

I saw you at the Palestine speaker
Damn! -- That one guy got pretty hot
And no one was there to support him"
