Come let us play in the hay stack!


No more, no more..


In a world of make believe

I would hug you and dance you into dreams

For the faith would be pure from hurt

No harm done to our tiny selves

And the earth would float on a lotus

The giants would arrive

Taking their time as giants are heavy

And all is good in the wild woods

I say: Is that Johnny?

A Johnny come lately?

He would look to the sky and reply

I have heard it myself like a whisper

Then it became a shout

And they ran from the burning theater

Then the screen appeared

So I walked into a different world

I say: Did you meet Lady Jane?

He would look to the sky and reply

All is new in the movies today

I see nothing but great escapes.


Taking you somewhere is a good idea..at least you can be here with me.


I could do many things

Stir the chocolate and bang a drum

Give you something good just for fun

I can be your waiter, your butler, you burger flipper

I could be on time and break the rules

Just for fun I could be a hell of a gun

I'm what you call a person

I am many things at once.


I fight so that we might stand a chance in the future..is it not obvious that the self can not endure wrong after wrong..



Falling in love with trees is not a bad idea.


Your foot needs rubbing..


We are the ones who defied gravity..


Opinions are very interesting..

I am in need of more opinions

Perhaps there is a place where I can find some

The kind that sound true

The kind that make me feel good and right

Opinions that fill me with delight

I hunger for more opinions galore

My stomach aches for this

Fill me and more!


Hot shines on no clicks fine.
 
 
Be the shine.


News Jewish groups applaud revisions to California ethnic-studies curriculum The changes came in response to objections over the original draft for containing anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content.

(Nov. 22, 2020 / JNS) Jewish and pro-Israel groups have applauded revisions to California’s proposed ethnic-studies curriculum, which were approved this week by an advisory board to the state’s board of education. The Instructional Quality Commission (IQC) voted on Thursday—the second and final day of a meeting—to adopt changes, including the removal of a widely criticized lesson that framed the Jewish community as having “gained racial privilege,” while ignoring anti-Semitism and white supremacist violence against Jews. The IQC meeting included two hours of phoned-in public comment on Wednesday. A number of Jewish students stressed the importance of educating about all forms of anti-Semitism and the diversity of the Jewish community. Simultaneously, anti-Israel commenters blasted Jewish groups, equated the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the Holocaust and opposed efforts to make the curriculum more balanced and inclusive. The changes came in response to Jewish and pro-Israel groups expressing objections over the original draft curriculum for containing anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content, in addition to not addressing issues of anti-Semitism or including Jewish Americans. “Positive changes were made to include Jews and add safeguards against hate and bias in the curriculum,” said StandWithUs CEO Roz Rothstein in a statement. “While the curriculum is headed in the right direction, there are still key changes we all have to fight for. Among the most important is a strong definition of anti-Semitism in all its forms, rather than a weak definition that caters to the biases of anti-Israel extremists.” Sarah Levin, executive director of JIMENA: Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, told JNS that her organization was “pleased with the inclusion of Middle Eastern American experiences, specifically the lesson plan, ‘Anti-Semitism and Middle Eastern Jewish Americans.’ ” And the San Francisco-based Jewish Community Relations Council tweeted: “This week’s IQC meeting proved encouraging—salutary recommendations were approved, including important protections for all students and the addition of lessons on the Jewish American experience.” The California Department of Education is expected to post the next draft of the curriculum for public review in December.
