nd. I don't know if it is residual effects of the cancer, the cancer battle and treatment, age, or the crushing emotional weight of Solidarity with my Palestine family every waking (and many sleeping) breaths... but I remain on a 4 day cycle - 4 days of huge energy and productivity... followed by :-( two days of 15 hour per day sleep. So far, it is the best I can do. :-( High wind is projected the next 3 days or so... so that may preclude the White House Free Palestine Vigil... too tough to have the signs... but I expect to give it a try, and see. In any case I'll be posting, reading, studying... regardless... to Free Palestine... AS WE ALL MUST DO. Rachel Corrie was so right. Creation forgive me for not seeing it until now, clearly, as she wrote to her mom from Gaza shortly before the Zionis crushed her to death under a Caterpillar Tractor: "Anyway, I'm rambling. Just want to write to my Mom and tell her that I'm witnessing this chronic, insidious genocide and I'm really scared, and questioning my fundamental belief in the goodness of human nature. This has to stop. I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop. I don't think it's an extremist thing to do anymore. I still really want to dance around to Pat Benatar and have boyfriends and make comics for my coworkers. But I also want this to stop. Disbelief and horror is what I feel. Disappointment. I am disappointed that this is the base reality of our world and that we, in fact, participate in it. This is not at all what I asked for when I came into this world. This is not at all what the people here asked for when they came into this world. This is not the world you and Dad wanted me to come into when you decided to have me. This is not what I meant when I looked at Capital Lake and said: "This is the wide world and I'm coming to it." I did not mean that I was coming into a world where I could live a comfortable life and possibly, with no effort at all, exist in complete unawareness of my participation in genocide. More big explosions somewhere in the distance outside."
