David,

It is always nice to see someone I have met in person on this sig. And 
your advice is welcome, esp. as the few times I have met you, you have 
impressed me as someone that is peaceful. I have definite plans to reach 
my goal. 1) I plan to continue my meditation. 2) I plan to start reading 
different items on peace, like the works of Peace Pilgrim. 3) I am going 
to start doing more good deeds and acts of kindness for others. 4) I plan 
to try to lay aside all my unhealthy hatreds and dislikes. This will mean 
forgiving a few people for transgressions against me. But I feel it must 
be done 5) Finally, I must address some issues within myself and with 
people I have cared about now and in the past. I realize alot of people 
(Kaye among them) would recommend I let go of such things. But there is 
one situation that happened last fall I want to rectify, and I do not 
think I will feel at ease until then. Having finished an Alternatives to 
Violence Project workshop today, I am confident I can, if this person is 
willing to listen.

I plan to take whatever knowledge I learn and use in my teachings within 
my religion. Being pagan, the folks in my religion do not always do as 
they should. There is alot of fighting, rumour mongering, and so forth, 
and unfortunately the methods currently employed sametimes only escalate 
tensions. Too, I plan to fight any form of discrimination when I see it. 
AS for involvement in organizations, I am already tied up, what with 
religious obligations and then there's Chautauqua. But one point I would 
like to get clear on this sig. is that no one should play petty games of 
evening things up. I have very rarely done that, most people I respect 
don't do that either. The same goes for rumour mongering et. al.--
