Thoughts of Home

On the Silk Road, Sean-Paul, walks the streets, sees the sights, talks to people, and ponders the meaning of home:

[silkroad/yesim]: That's the funny thing about traveling. Thoughts of home always seem to crystallize when I am away and I understand who I am even more.

On Power

DruBlood talks about power and powerlessness in language that both sides can learn from:

[Privilege and Victimhood]: people who have power [...] have the responsibility of being careful about how they weild that power, and of examining closely how the power they hold in their relationships affect others. This could be a doctor, a boss, a partner in a marriage, a parent...a teacher...any relationship where there is an imbalance of power. It's imperative that the one who holds the power is in tune with the person over whom they hold it...and it's wrong-headed to place that responsibility on the shoulders of the person who does not have the power.
