~Muchos Gracias Companero Bejarano ~
I really believe we have barely scratched the surface of our potential compared to how we will grow, develop and mature in the times to come in our spirited social activism.
Remember the power of weblinks!
Einstein stated that imagination was more important than knowledge and Chicanos have always had a kind of crazy ingenuity that has made real inroads in cultural art-forms.
Revolutionary art demands a revolutionary situation.
We will always have to re-invent ourselves as time goes by and Internet technology is key to our collective forward movement via websites, groups, blogs, videos and other manifestations of communications technology.
I tend to focus on what my laser eye beads on. These days a lot of my concentration is on my job as a Counselor/Caseworker at the Downtown Salvation Army, plus, others areas related to homeless people and refugees in general. Forgive me for not doing and reporting more online but time is a tyrant and I have immediate existential surroundings to cope with constantly. .
I wish I was really independently wealthy to go throughout Aztlan, do what needs to be done and go where I want to go,
but now I am only getting minimum wage, though, I dig my job.
but now I am only getting minimum wage, though, I dig my job.
Each of us has our measure of faith, truth and courage for us to exercise to our maximum capacity. May 1st will come and go once again so we must see with eyes for the future. We still have no strong national vanguard organization, though, some seeds are quietly sprouting. We must look to Latin America then gaze at our own empty hands!
Connected realism is at the core of liberating truth. WE must prepare ourselves now for the storms to come I see on the horizons in every direction I look at upon Mother Earth.
I pretty much say stuff the way I see it, the way I want it to come out without any foolish fear of self-exposure. Feed my carcass to the dogs and throw my bones upon the pile. I strive to keep in mind that the essence of power is the dual capacity to define reality and then change it with our own action.
We must have faith in the people, their native intelligence and their keen sense of timing:
2 Chronicles 1:10
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
We give them the power of the truth as we know it and let them come to their own conclusions without our prejudices as we remain open to learning from the truth genius of history: the masses.
We must all come to terms with what is our response ability.
Writers have a responsibility to write, artists have a responsibility to do art and dancers have a responsibility to continue the dance!
Venceremos! Libertad o Muerte!

for Iraq: By Dave Shiflett]
Thanks for focusing our attention in the use of
Yahoo!Groups of reason and communication for news,
truth and action. Let us hope that the people will
demand the end of that war.
Let's also participate in the May 1st "The Great
American Boycott" demostration and those who are
fasting for peace.
Peter, I will post your comment on NetworkAztlan.com
at "About US" by the afternoon/today.
Thanks,
Bejarano
