[Oe List ...] Standing Rock Assistance for our 2nd Generation Presence

[Jean Long via OE]

The young ones heard the message, didn't they!

In honor of their commitment and (as we learned) the pain that comes with
choosing to be "Those Who Care)

The Cost of My Care
   Anniversary Waltz

Given the chance to do life in the deeps,
    to serve all mankind is the gift that I be.
To care for the world is the burden I bear,
    invent with my life 'tis the cost of my care.

Chorus:
Strange awful power is dancing through me,
     buoyantly forging impossible be.
With all my heart I'm poured out endlessly,
     I'm burdened eternally.

Wholly engulfed in unbounded rapport,
     doomed for the world, my life wholly outpoured.
Always encumbered, tomorrow is here,
     molding the future, the cost of my care.

chorus

Burning with wisdom, empowered to do,
      the weight of the world for all men everywhere.
Guardian of all, to all history an heir,
     Absurdly in charge, is the cost of my care.

If you can't remember the tune. read it and do an artform  conversation
after.  Go into ica-usa.org and then Global Achives and then look for
conversations.

I'm sending a check.

in gratitude for your decisions.
