A paraphrase of Ghandi:
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

from Nina Lindsay's "Plot Twist"
The dreams were like a boat,
the sleep a country,
the night an author
that found us to be somewhat unsatisfactory characters.
Please let me remember.

You gave me a lot to think about today--and it is a day that needed some thought. I spent quite awhile reading that Wiki and learned many things. Life is endlessly complex, isn't it, and filled with surprises.
Gerry, yes indeed it is. I don't know enough about the whole occupy movement to have an objective opinion, but I am encouraged that someone is protesting something in this country! To me it seems long overdue. And the Ghandi quote is good either way :).
..and this is your personal story as well, isn't it!?
Yes, Ming, it is..... which is why I love the quote: it works for a big venue (the world!) or a small one (one person's small story)
