Now it's four. I wonder if there's some kind of universal unconscious thing at work here?<BR/><BR/>Maybe it has something to do with walking cheerfully upon the Earth.<BR/><BR/>More seriously, I wonder when the day will come that I should have known I was a Quaker when I realized that my African and Latin American brothers and sisters constituted the majority of Quakers in the world.Paul Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03483071863453025925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10737238.post-1137693212143372082006-01-19T11:53:00.000-06:002006-01-19T11:53:00.000-06:00Mm, I like that, and I too think it would be an in...Mm, I like that, and I too think it would be an interesting excercise.

However, it would have helped a lot if I had known any Quakers back then - I couldn't find anything on non-violence in the local library besides a single book on Gandhi. I had to make it all up on my own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10737238.post-1137626453400438992006-01-18T17:20:00.000-06:002006-01-18T17:20:00.000-06:00Don't be shy, Friends.
