Hi ${token1},

Cigars and Cigarettes

Every action hides perception
all perception hides a need
So the trick to knowing others
is to find what thirst they feed

Truly rare's the act committed
that's just evil through and through
Most are deeds based upon fears
and sad and sorrowful world views

Some fear loss will be their lot
will some anticipate attack
Some see love as unrequited
So they run and don't look back

Hasten not to condemnation
don't throw baby out with bath
Never fault a man his actions
'til you walk his earthly path

COMMENTARY:
It may seem strange to you. It may defy explanation. It may seem like evil incarnate, the dis of all disses...but wait, there's always another side to the story. Perhaps if you saw the world the way he sees it, it might make more sense. Perhaps if you lived her life and experienced the perceptions she was taught, it might provide fresh insight into the actions you find so inexplicable. It doesn't mean you have to forgive, or even interact, but at least you can understand. You think?

Walt,
Many of your works have hit home with me. However, today's touched me in a deeply special way. I am principal of a new school this year (miss my old school), and this school requires a lot of work to turn it around. I feel as though I've been fighting everyone--staff and parents--just to get us to do what's right for the children. At the same time, I am trying to complete my dissertation by December 1st. I will be fine, but I am simply tired of the fight right now. Thanks for the encourgaement you give to us!
Peace,

*Joyce
Thanks Walt,

This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Lesser minds than my own, who don't know how to apologize when they make mistakes or take responsibility for them, HAVE been attacking my integrity rather brutally the past couple of days. It has been quite trying to deal with this energy respectfully, as such lower form of life behavior, often "choose" to scapegoat who they fear rather than own their aggression. Your support was very much appreciated.

Thanks again, Joyce
