.... with revolution and a piece of land.
And saddened that the nation I was born into is the cause of so much of the world's misery.
I always knew a little about Fidel, but I never realized how narrow the views of him I'd been given in my life. Now I am in love. And I think Alice Walker is too. It is nice to be reminded of your mentors and heros and people who really have made a difference in the world and tried to do good.
Viva la revolucion!
My goal this summer is that once the sun has set and the 360 degree TV is only useful to feline eyes, I will dedicate my pre-sleep hours to reading the writings and stories of people who have inspired revolution and truly changed the world. Ghandi. Castro, Lumumba, Don West, Mother Jones and Jimmy Carter are all high on my list.
In those hours leading up to sunset, I'll work in my garden and let the teachings soak into me at the root.
"Ignorance is cheap," I saw a sign somewhere saying that. The worst kind of ignorance is when you think your way of thinking is the only way to think.
