i keep ignoring the pending war with iraq.

as it looks more and more likely that the US is going to become a rogue state which considers itself above the concerns of the international community i become more and more upset. but i keep ignoring it, hoping it will all go away.

the difficulty of knowing what is true in this web of words is daunting.

i wonder if it will continue to be this complicated in eternity, or if somehow this inability to communicate with each other is one of the things which we get to transcend.

i spent my weekend in the mountains, waiting for it to snow (it never did), and reading a book about the quaker idea of "plain living". i am about as far away from that ideal as it is possible to be, for example i spent this morning trying to recover lost files on one of the five networked computers which are "essential" to the running of our house.

this is one of the 100 times in the last five years that i have wished that just reading a book would make me a better person.
