Darlings,
I thought the world was ending back in 2000, but would you believe we are rocking on the precipice of 2009?! So, if the Earth doesn’t careen off its orbit, whizzing off toward the farthest corner of the universe (which is understood to be due southeast) only to be hijacked by malicious kidney eating aliens (and I don’t mean kidney beans), please join us for ever more circles and songs, prayers and dances, community and explorations of Spirit!

WARNING!!!! Spring is planning to come back!!!! She’ll start shimmying underground February 2nd and we’ll be celebrating, but I don’t yet know exactly what time or where. I’ll keep you posted.

So, the most enlightening bar-conversation I have ever heard was, hands down, the country and western discussion last weekend about the most perfect country song ever written. For your edification and enjoyment (or horror), I’ve included the pertinent verse from David Allen Coe. Feel free to assert an alternate vote for the most perfect country song, but don’t invest much energy into it, because I believe you’ll be wrong.
“Well, I was drunk the day my mom got outta prison
And I went to pick her up in the rain
But before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train”
It’s got it all! Drunkenness, prison, mothers, trucks, rain and trains all mixed up into a tragic little ditty.
See you in circle!
