Dear Maya:
Love,
CoCo
her life embodied how the human spirit can rise from crushing conditions to mentor, role model and teacher.. she went mute for 5 years after being raped at the age of 9. in that time she found her inner spirit to write and speak for others.. her life course went from working in brothels to teaching in universites.
from broken home to addressing the nation at william clinton's inaugeration.. her poems touched millions of lives.
i know why the caged bird sings; on the pulse of morning; a brave and startling truth:.
Dear Maya:
Love,

went to montana, had a really good time.
flew there, drove back with a friend.
was gone eight days.
Welcome home, Hortensia!
We did miss you!
Thanks for sharing the sights -- been to a few of those spots myself, but in younger, healthier times. We can muse happily over our memories, yours more recently made than mine. It becomes a bittersweet sort of reflection as time goes by . . .
Moving furniture is, strangely, good for both body and soul.
Best.

a few years ago avatar was 'demonized' by the wt.
in reality their argument had an extreme ignorance of hinduism and a poor knowledge of modern langauge (avatar means something else nowadays.... ).
but anyway when i was growing up my parents recorded the 4 supermen movies on to video tape as they were played on tv.
Guy Pierce dissed BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN at our circuit assembly because of its theme, and a WT publication condemned E.T. because the little boy called his older brother "penis breath."
.. the new wbt$ donation arrangement/ jw kingdom hall bank account theft... is a very hot topic right now... the wbt$ is literally going to clean out kingdom hall bank accounts,filled with donations from jws... that theft is going to happen world wide..the wbt$ is going to steal from 7 million plus jw`s... .. we have jw elders here on jwn,that know whats going on... they "serve" in kingdom halls,they are "supposed" to be looking after the welfare of the average jw... they know there is a 4 page letter,only one page will be read to the congregation..the rest will be kept secret... they know the wbt$ is about to steal jw donations..on a world wide scale!!!...
.. i would like to know what you active jw elders are going to do about this??!!...
are you going to let "your" congregation know about the other 3 secret pages?...
Greetings, OUTLAW!

There were only a few comments on this old, long-forgotten thread of mine, but quite a number of reads. It makes me wonder if many other individuals, like me, have typed in Ms. Tan's famous line.
Just curious.
Thanks.

greetings to all who surf shark-infested internet waters.. after i was hit by ransomware the other day, i did research on so-called safe sites.
it seems more and more sites are being infected deliberately by hackers.
i went to a legit-looking site on a famous artist and -- wham!
Thank you, falseprophet!
I'll see to that asap!
Peace.

Good morning, Teary, will-be-apostate and tornaport:
What a wealth of information -- thank you very much. I've learned a great deal from everyone's posts and will act with greater caution as a result.
Blessings, peace and safety as you surf!
