Greg Koskela: The Top Ten Reasons I Am a Quaker

RantWoman LOVES this QuakerSpeak item. RantWoman would not use exactly the same language but feels deeply blessed by this Friend's testimony.RantWoman will put drafting her own version of this on her mean to write list but in the meantime, enjoy!

Data one review: Snake oil?

RantWoman UTTERLY Blesses one Friend frequently written of here for his gift in the realm of Truth telling. RantWoman blesses the Friend; that does not mean RantWoman agrees with everything that splutters out of his mouth.

This Friend's question this morning: "How was the snake oil session" (referring to Adult Religious Education)?

RantWoman "Did you go to any of the weekend's sessions? Could you say more what you mean Snake oil?"

Back to the Snake oil in a moment.

Friend had also missed previous sessions. This Friend saw the part about "What happens about conflict in Meetings?" The gist of his reply: mostly Quakers don't deal with conflict and then when they do they gaslight the noisiest member."

Nooooo! Really?

Friend was also taking exception to use of the word "healer." Exception as in "touchy-feely," "woo-woo," and a couple other terms.

HELLO. We are talking licensed massage practitioner, so touchy-feely is right there. Add more than enough deep spiritual work to use the work healer, not to mention RantWoman's personal experience.

So if Friend were to ask RantWoman..., RantWoman would say "Next time SHOW UP." step outside your comfort zone. You never know WHAT you might learn.

Jotting Today

Jottings vaguely related to today's John Calvi workshop. Planet RantWoman. Readers' mileage will vary.

A quilt made by one of the Quaker elders
who helped welcome RantWoman
(Mostly glad RantWoman just skipped the WCB board. It will keep. Would be good to see some people RantWoman is fond of, but if RantWoman does not go to the meeting harder to add things to her to-do list.. )

Potluck contribution. Need Potluck contribution. If RantWoman got out the door in time, RantWoman could "cook" at Safeway on the way. That did not happen. RantWoman did have a bag of tangerines. RantWoman kind of wanted protein but did not think of her lightly salted almonds. Tangerines it was.

Da bus was nearly empty. Even though the route goes through two bridge onramp rush hour traffic chokepoints, on Saturday morning before God herself is vertical, the entire bus part of the trip took less than 20 minutes, compared to between 30 and 50 minutes at other times of the week. Wow.

The phrase "spiritual obligation"

Healing touch? Holy Crap. This workshop is about conflict and we are supposed to TOUCH each other???

RantWoman partnered with one of her safe people, an elder RantWoman dearly loves and feels no call to go on further about here.

RantWoman was slightly undercaffeinated but RantWoman's brain was still flitting around like a hummingbird on a holiday for basically the first exercise. 

Rub hands to warm them.

Now settle hands onto the receiver's shoulders  

Think of deep love.

Now think of something yucky.

You mean like the slime in RantWoman's refrigerator more likely to evolve into a sentient being than ... ?

RANTWOMAN, STOP IT with...

Now back to... Be grateful for connection.

Side note: touch releases oxytocin for both sides.

When others reported back, the point is connection is stronger after the yucky.

Transition out of exercise:

Imagine a wave of blue washing over a screen.

You mean like the Blue Screen of Death?

The next color due was apple green and all RantWoman could think of was green hi-vis clothing. Possibly the perfect uniform for the crip transit mafia worship auxiliary, but...

Back to the blue screen of death; report back and break.

(Hearing check: not using sound system but turn on passive microphone system in worship room. The system plus hearing loop works for one Friend. It emerges that people hear the workshop leader fine but cannot always hear Friends speaking from the room. Workshop leader promises to repeat what other speakers say. RantWoman refrains from commenting further.)

The second half of the morning was a longer touch exercise. RantWoman received an offer to partner. At first RantWoman equivocated but then RantWoman decided Oh what the hell? RantWoman does not regret the decision at all except for one point: Exercise partner loves scents and no matter how wonderful something else going on is, scents drive RantWoman crazy sometimes. RantWoman has the same problem sometimes in the community when people from different cultures use WAY more scent than RantWoman does. Part of what made RantWoman cry was the lovely tangled with ....
Report back included the following moments RantWoman found memorable and of course other undoubtedly worthy moments that just leaked out of RantWoman's head.

--Mention of a deceased Friend. The Friend had passed away shortly before RantWoman arrived at Meeting for the first time. Not to nitpick about the timeline but it was longer ago than...

--Mention of multiple long-distance "touches" of the mystical connection time.

--Discussion of consent to touch, praying for (whether consent or not, kind of like RantWoman's "I pray for you" Twitter list.)

--Something about the grace of God breaking through.

The goodness workshop was lots of personal work. RantWoman thinks the personal work might get its own post.

useful phrase "stewardship of gifts."

From the end of the afternoon's goodness workshop, people most able to work around trauma share two traits:

--Emotional Flexibility

--Sense of own goodness

Five elements (of centered life):

1. Giving and receiving love

2. Using personal power for common good

3. Taking stands of conscience

4. The 5 rules one keeps (RantWoman was feeling pretty snarky here. So...)

5. Direct experience of the divine / sense of awe about creation.

Things that tumbled out of closing worship:

Thoughts about growing up in Meeting and life today x 2

A comment RantWoman registered as from sort of a frequent flyer whose nom de blog RantWoman omits; RantWoman remembers the comment but did not register the content.

One Friend about the importance of continuing connection. The metaphorical part of this got squashed in RantWoman's head until a later conversation.

RantWoman: who had partnered with a retired nurse: it's flu season and we should not overdo touch. RantWoman is glad for many people she does not know at the workshop. RantWoman would so have appreciated hearing more people's names say in a general go-around and not just some of the people who spoke, a small percentage of the people there.

Stay tuned for reading from John's books at Adult Religious ed.

Oh, and whine from RantWoman about eBooks vs print.

Data: flip charts

RantWoman's Meeting is having a weekend partly about conflict with Quaker healer John Calvi.

RantWoman herewith dumps several strands of data about the subject of flip charts and accessibility measures. Yes, it opens talking about something besides flip charts. RantWoman promises Friends will get to flip charts.

1. RantWoman considers it an important accessibility measure for one Friend in a key role to get over the Friend's inclination not to attend because of , because of, SHOW UP and listen to the whole community, not just pastoral care committees.

2. There is a sound system with a movable mic!!!!! Please Excuse RantWoman for not having it in her to write all the saga of how Meeting comes to be experimenting with sound systems for Adult Religious Education, for Meeting for Business, and for this event. If RantWoman were to write the whole story from RantWoman's point of view, there would be some pretty SHITTY moments from several directions. Hold that problem in the Light. Meanwhile, as a result partly of RantWoman hitting a wall about accessibility measures at community events there is a sound system.

3. This event listed two organizers. RantWoman sent them an email awhile ago asking to talk about accessibility measures for the event. RantWoman meant beyond the sound system. RantWoman did not hear back until the day the event started. RantWoman also did not find time to follow up even to inquire whether the planners might have delegated accessibility to someone else. Enough said.

4. Today came a text: there will be flip charts. Can we just photograph them? RantWoman's first reaction, No.  Photographing handwriting is not a recipe for happiness. Sometimes people decide for different reasons to type up what gets written on flip charts. Sometimes RantWoman listens to a lot of "This one here and that one there" because presenters like to point and gesture and not read. RantWoman's take:

--Gee it would have been nice to know before today because maybe RantWoman would have looked up some videos with tips for presenters.

--How about we just handle in the moment? (And RantWoman will accommodate everyone's desire for calm by clutching Ambassador Thwack the White Cane and Anger Management Consultant, sitting with one of her meeting supervision dolls, giving herself the option of dissipating mechanical energy by taking notes in Braille, and choosing just one item from the daily menu of reasons to fly off the handle about something or other.)

--In the moment, John said the flip charts would only contain things offered by Friends out loud. RantWoman's recording clerk reflexes kicked in though the notes here are imperfect and RantWoman has imperfectly contained tendency to editorialize.

5. (opening worship and reference to things that are "Mean and Stupid" in our national environment right now, reference to Friends being better at taking their Light to others than handling their own conflicts.) Query:  In one word, speak of conflict at this Meeting:

The words RantWoman got written down; interpreter bookkeeping brain is aware of missing a couple: misunderstanding, mistrust, intractable, heartbreaking, underground, longstanding, stressful, challenging, deep, deflating, complicated, ongoing, personal, looks enough like "pettiness" to remind RantWoman of why scribble font is unreliable, OPPORTUNITY, sad, plus two scribbles RantWoman cannot read and "email" which did not make it out of RantWoman's mouth.


The evening offered other data  collection moments. RantWoman is clear to stop and sleep because she will not be able to tpe further without editorializing and ... and . Hold matters of verbal excess in the Light.

Data: touchy

RantWoman needs to dump data about touch. RantWoman thought of hyperventilating. RantWoman was knowingly willfully planning to go to a retreat where touch is a key part of the work. This is RantWoman!

--RantWoman spends a fair amount of time around blind people who all bump into each other all the time. RantWoman finds this tiring. RantWoman expects others also find it tiring, irksome, more of a test of RantWoman's path to spiritual enlightenment that anyone wants.

--RantWoman feels REALLY stifled when someone who assumes that embrace will be soothing tries to soothe RantWoman by embracing her. Please BELIEVE RantWoman. Do NOT argue with RantWoman's experience. Just BELIEVE RantWoman.RantWoman THINKS she has been heard about this by several people but does NOT feel heard by one Friend in a specific role. This blog contains numerous other hold in the Light data points about said Friend who offered yet more data today. Enough said for now at least?
   Um, no. Apparently not enough: RantWoman is aware that a very large and astoundingly obstreperous four-year-old keeps showing up in the picture. RantWoman keeps asking God whether the four-year-old can maybe possibly get along without being quite so obstreperous. Somewhat to RantWoman's surprise, the answer keeps coming back "No, and here about 17 more reasons why." Okayyyy, RantWoman does believe in a god who can handle such issues, but....

--RantWoman gets served up WAY too many opportunities to hyperventilate  about "grab the Blind Person and Bless Them." Probably searching on Grab on either of RantWoman's blogs will find multiple examples.

--RantWoman sometimes gives people sitting next to her in meetings permission to tap her on the arm if "Annoying Blind Person Behaviors" are getting in the way of something but absolutely does NOT give people permission either to touch her without her permission OR to tell other people it is okay to touch her without her permission. RantWoman has formed an opinion that the latter may have occurred and is aware that saying so is inflammatory. Cope.
     The no touch without specific permission standards goes about 700 zillion fold for people who had the opportunity to try this on a committee, never even tried it, now do not even remember and ....  YES, RantWoman is aware that she is hyperventilating and not necessarily prepared to listen to others' characterization of RantWoman's experience. RantWoman IS refraining from one inflammatory comment she was clear belonged in email
    There are specific people with specific titles attached to these behaviors. Yo. The BEHAVIORS are the problem which is one reason RantWoman is splattering her reflections all over her blog .Maybe if topical people were more on the ball about answering email and responding with open heart and questions to requests for help in phone conversations, RantWoman would feel less call to splatter matters all over her blog. On the other hand, maybe RantWoman is supposed to take to heart that part from George Fox about "be patterns, be examples" and just realize "be examples" is not the same as be GOOD examples.

But, yes, John Calvi has a gift, and RantWoman will see what more needs to be done with anger.

Riffing with Trevor Presidential Words as Bad Reggae Song

And the Lord spake unto RantWoman but the Gospel according to Autocorrect does not DO KJV.

And the Lord spake another honorific: President Gropeasaurus.

Meanwhile RantMom too is trying to pray for the current Oval Office Occupant.

And the Lord responded: Reggae song.



And further more...

And furthermore, the Twitterverse is righteously and rightly upset: it IS ABLEIST to refer to the Oval Office Occupant in any terms that further stigmatize the mentally challenged, the senile, the mentally ill. Ditto for applying psychiatric diagnoses without 1. Actually having the appropriate credentials and 2. Conducting and actual psychiatric exam. SUCH an easy target. Restraint is NO DANG FUN and it is what God requires of us!

Women's March Seattle 2018, sort of

RantWoman recognizes that most of her readers crave visuals. Tough. RantWoman is expressing gratitude for enough functioning visual neurons to pull some cool #womensMarch2018 signs out of photos a number of Facebook friends from different parts of RantWoman's life have posted.

We are the Granddaughters of the witches you couldn't burn

I am with her (arrows pointing all around)

With Fierce Love We Create a world that works for all

Digression: RantWoman also feels obliged to whine that Facebook does not provide posters a way to add alttext to photos. RantWoman will just have to cope, and to express amusement about the "image may contain.." screen reader messages generated by its photo scanning / facial identification software.

RantWoman could not go to the #WomensmarchSeattle because she knowingly willfully intentionally helped schedule a #blindness event the same day. The event well. The Emcee just has a great presence and RantWoman has greatly enjoyed watching her develop that gift.

RantWoman also thanks the transit gods. RantWoman needed to travel on routes heavily impacted by the march route. RantWoman had minimal issues both going and coming. Equally important RantWoman got home in time to see the beginning of the Orthodox Epiphany March starting from a church near RantWoman.

RantWoman is proud of her city and proud of diverse faith communities, especially the ones sharing houses of worship.

Okay so old building physical accessibility is often a challenge, but people are working out the space usage. They are. They are.

Minutes corrections 12 2017 as important to RantWoman

RantWoman posts her point of view here in a spirit of humility edits she hopes will make it into the official minutes for 12th month


2017-12-01:
Campus Discernment Committee

The Committee presented a report on its work to date, as per their committee charge. Friends expressed appreciation for the committee’s work. Friends were encouraged to learn more about Gethsemane Lutheran and other congregations that have made decisions about the future of their property. [add: A friend requested and a member of the Discernment committee agreed to post the document found on the link to the Gethsemane item on Campus Discernment Committee’s public Google drive. The document describes several other congregations and the housing programs they partnered with.] A Friend asked what the meeting can do to prepare for and participate in this discernment process as the committee continues its basic research. Friends spoke to the challenge of preparing spiritually.

 

2017-12-02:
Finance Committee

The Committee presented a report for the first four months of the FY2018 (July to Oct). Most expenses are in line with budget, with a few exceptions as we adjust to our new lease arrangement (attorney’s fees [to review rental documents], remodeling expenses, wifi service, etc.) These expenses are all within the range of what we expected and should even out in the future. The balance sheet shows …(information Rantwoman considers sensible but is not clear to put on this blog)…

Friends asked questions about [the possibility of one of our tenants qualifying for a city free Wifi program], advertising for additional [short-term or regular] renters, [(parking issues are one barrier)] as well as the Quaker House budget (which is managed separately). Friends expressed appreciation for the committee’s work in transitioning rental spaces.

Someone else reminded Friends of the opportunity for year- end contributions to UFM.

 

2017-12-03:
Minutes

The minutes from the November Monthly Meeting were laid over until January, with a few substantial revisions proposed in the interim. [Add as led: considerable back and forth developed between two Friends. In contrast to numerous recent instances of Friends standing to silence a speaker and RantWoman not even necessarily realizing people were standing, a third Friend rose, USED HIS WORDS, and asked everyone to speak one at a time and to wait for the Clerk to recognize them. There was further clarifying conversation and Friends agreed to lay over final approval of the minutes until January.]

Not just the search string

Warning: while this post includes some truly awesome African American Church Lady hats, there are many reasons to find this video extremely disturbing. If you are worried about being too disturbed, DO NOT WATCH the video. Confession: RantWoman started finding it repetitive and has not watched the whole thang either.

If RantWoman were half as pure at heart as she aspires to be, she would post only the search string
Key Peele Satan Uncensored
and make readers take responsibility to go look the  ^&!@#$@ video their own darn selves.

RantWoman is nowhere near that pure. Plus RantWoman wants to find the video easily herself.

Funny??? Trump Goes Nuclear on Twitter

RantWoman's (and the world's) cup runneth over. Sixteen tweets in one day. Highlights in the clip below

It would have been more than enough to stop at one, the nuclear button pissing contest with North Korean dictator Kim Jung Un.




Digression in the realm of "so not nostalgic: topic. "nucular" winter
https://youtu.be/JCgXGfQZXyo

And Carl Sagan et al weigh in
https://youtu.be/0KhFJGEKcPs

(RantWoman, PLEASE leave snarky tweets about dealing with global warming to...)

Holy Crap! RantWoman has already been tweeting about how we just will not be able to afford a military buildup thanks to the new tax bill. Is the fear mongering over the Korean peninsula enough also to blunt enthusiasm to modernize the US nuclear arsenal, so tragically getting out of date?

Never mind! Just stick to North Korea for now.

Correlation does not equal causation.

The Orange one tweets about the size of his button and all kinds of confidence-building measures break out:

--The North Korean pairs figure skating team will compete in the Seoul winter Olympics.

AND

--North and South Korea have held direct talks for the first time in two years. In other words, something has been stuck since the Obama administration.

God..? Are you JOKING?

Self-soothing: Locusts and Wild Honey - Songs for Celebration by the Monks of Weston Pr...

RantWoman's sense of the Divine absolutely requires a divine sense of humor.

First consider this absolutely gorgeous music from the monks of Weston Priory



Next, consider that hopes for a gorgeous male singing voice are about the ONLY reason RantWoman could even consider needing a different gender identity. Alas, RantWoman has never gone looking but does have a sense that if she cannot carry a tune to her satisfaction as a woman, that ability is unlikely to come along with any hormone shots.

Groupies hung up on all the patriarchal imagery, COPE. RantWoman has bigger problems, like the President's proclivity for using Twitter to threaten nuclear war or her persistent need to elder those around her for mansplaining, ableism, and just free floating "being a jerk." Perhaps for tonight we should simply listen to music and leave the linguistic exegesis and literary elaboration of the circumstances exercising her for another day.

Light Dawns? Thought Bubbles at least

Welcome to tonight's excursion to Planet RantWoman. There is a just past full moon. There is much to say. The itinerary includes several windy paths. Cope. Otherwise you will not be getting your money's worth out of the tour.



Dawn Seattle Jan 2 2018

Please do not argue with RantWoman about "money's worth." If you insist on arguing with RantWoman, RantWoman has several options for adding video. RantWoman does not recommend adding video, but could possibly consider adding electronic voice audio track for readers who like to listen rather than read. Caution: RantWoman reserves the right to be insufferable and record at the speed she listens at.

RantWoman has voices in her head.

RantWoman has voices in her head. This means:

--RantMom has done the aural implantation expected of every mother ?

--GOD is talking?

--RantWoman's brain is still trying to function at vision plus speed only with audio tracks and calamitously underpowered pattern sorting and lots of different audio streams clamoring for there nanoseconds of attention. (Earth to RantWoman, YOU may be feeling underpowered, but there is every indication that other people still feel overwhelmed even at this level., really. Okay sure. And not everyone can respond the same way but everyone can do three things and people can do enough different things, people can handle it...)

--RantWoman should hurry out for some psychotropic medication, something with a prescription, not the secondhand weed effusions endlessly clouding bus stops and doorways?

Uhhh, tonight it means both the headphones and the USB port are working on an office computer. Also, RantWoman has tuned the text-to-speech options on the devices she is using to scream along fast enough to keep RantWoman awake.

I didn't tell you about my day Digression: It was a harrowing day out in the world. RantWoman lost patience with scheduling and dispatch for the chariot service nominally available after an exciting fall of power to the people interactions with transit planning. RantWoman decided the book shelf delivery task she wanted to accomplish could be done by regular bus.

Apparently Ambassador Thwack the poorly comported white cane took offense at being asked just to lurk in one of RantWoman's bags and cope with the stresses of unaided travel with fog and blur; the white cane went AWOL on the first bus while the shelves were being transported. RantWoman called Customer Service. SOMETIMES Metro Customer Service can identify which coach a lost item is on and suggest ways to rendezvous and collect one's item.

Today RantWoman could not provide the charming customer service professional enough temporal coordinates to help him identify the coach and suggest meeting times for the stop nearest her abode. RantWoman opted NOT just to wait at the bus stop and ask every driver on the run. Sometimes the best option is just to go to Metro Lost and Found the next day. (RantWOMAN, that part about mentally referring to this professional as "MR. Potato head? REALLY???)

RantWoman has auxiliary backup canes at home but was not carrying an extra today. Mercifully, by the grace of God and other attentive travelers, RantWoman made it home without either plowing into anyone or getting run over. At home, RantWoman has discovered that one of her backup canes seems to need its inner bungee cord replaced. Usually there should be two strands findable at all the joints and it should snap into extended position easily. The cane most like Ambassador Thwack has at least one joint with only one strand of cord. When RantWoman tries to extend it to work, it's performance is lax and desultory at best. RantWoman WILL ask whether someone at the local blind store restrings canes. (Sigh. No.) Otherwise, as soon as Ambassador Thwack comes home, the backup goes into the Free Matter for the Blind box and off to MO for a new bungee cord.. But Onward. RantWoman has voices in her head and thought bubbles to spill out.

Remember a Meeting for Business awhile ago presenting information about new tenants? If not, it's okay. The itinerary includes the RantWoman Eye view anyway.

--Meeting for Business ended with people worshipfully standing in hopes that RantWoman who cannot necessarily tell whether people are standing would shut up. RantWoman also did not realize until later that the Clerk just left the room. RantWoman has been trying to explain an idiosyncratic point of view about respect for the clerk ever since. Sometimes one is just called to speak Truth and to trust that the Clerk can handle it.

RantWoman deeply respects the Clerk on MANY counts and understands that RantWoman being called to speak Truth may not LOOK like respect. RantWoman has faith that between the Clerk and others in the room there are paths, and paths, and paths... (Okay, there is that part about GOD Speaking in a room full of people some of whom are not even sure there is a God, a minor irregularity but definitely on the itinerary.)

--Minutes do not explicitly record, but RantWoman has a sense that she was supposed blindly to accept that impacts on staff would be minimal or were already well handled. RantWoman subsequently had a conversation with staff. The subject of large UPS deliveries came up, as did UPS delivery persons, and dollies full of boxes and stairs. But RantWoman is getting ahead of herself.

--RantWoman got an incomplete picture of some possible construction issues from what was presented out loud. RantWoman deeply laments that no one else seemed to be paying enough attention to ask some of the questions on RantWoman's mind, but a grocery story parking lot conversation and some email finally satisfied RantWoman that no one had gone out of their minds about the construction issues.

--Not so the wheelchair accessibility. RantWoman asked a question because she personally knows homeless people who use wheelchairs. RantWoman can tell Friends which bus routes to ride to meet different homeless wheelchair users almost every day. RantWoman has two family members, neither homeless, who use wheelchairs. Asterisk. The family members became wheelchair users partly because of poorly treated workplace injury, the kind that UPS delivery persons with insecure employment could also be vulnerable to. But again, RantWoman is running ahead of herself.

Initial reviews of RantWoman's question about wheelchair accessibility: oh, that's the tenant's problem. RantWOMAN WHY can you not just leave things up to our tenants?

Why indeed? Stairs? No wheelchair accessible entry. A not entirely comparable service delivery model for wheelchair users. No easy way to adjust wheelchair accessibility, despite a young Friend's enthusiasm for some guerilla ramp-construction. Oh, and some other bumps and glitches, site characteristics on the pedestrian route from the nearest bus stop. But other than all that everything sounds fine, just fine especially when accompanied by endless repetitions of RantWoman there is no problem. There is no problem. There is no problem.

To repeat RantWoman knows homeless wheelchair users. RantWoman can tell you how to find more homeless wheelchair users. RantWoman sometimes makes referrals to wheelchair users for services. RantWoman would like to be able to include new tenant. RantWoman further knows many wheelchair users who probably would be too happy to take up a project cataloging wheelchair accessibility issues....

RantWoman also takes note of legal language from WA state and federal statutes about public accommodation and non-discrimination. Legal language merits its own post. RantWoman's point, our new tenant COULD at some point ask us for help improving the physical accessibility of their service delivery approach. They could ASK and RantWoman thinks Meeting should cooperate.

But other than that, no problem. No problem. No problem.

Well, no problem except more don't send email and we cannot really listen in person and it's not even clear at least to RantWoman who is supposed to listen in person.in the first place. But emails do go around. RantWoman expresses vexation about UPS delivery persons and back issues moving big dollies full of packages up and down stairs. RantWoman learns that there are some big UPS deliveries as the new tenant's office gets set up but then the flow of shipments falls off.
Somewhere in the email going around, RantWoman received nice email from the people currently helping tend our grounds: one of the things they do is help keep the new curb ramp the city put in clear of debris and generally to keep entrances on the main floor clear. THANK YOU for the work and for the information.

RantWoman also has a conversation about guerilla ramp building and herself suggests attention to process. RantWoman walks around building and looks at some wheelchair accessibility / ease of freight delivery points: things are fine as far as RantWoman can tell for other tenant, but there are still Big Problems, fuiled for just nust as site characteristics that probably need to get addressed in the future.

There. Now RantWoman has filled the internet more or less with what is on her mind. It would be AWESOME to hold things in the Light especially things that cannot instantly or easily be fixed, improved.  RantWoman is trying to decide whether repeatedly being told there is no problem is somehow evolution, improvement over a conversation some years ago where every time RantWoman brought up something to do with disability it was declared off -topic. Let's just say RantWoman is reserving judgment.

In Light and Faithfulness.

RantWoman
