"I must live my arguement" Albert Schweitzer

Hi Everyone
I apoligize if I haven't responded to your emails, petitions or kept my groups up properly over the last few weeks. I've been ill and am still not feeling well; therefore, not online very much. Please be patient, and I'll be back to my old self soon.
Love you all,
Keep up the good fight!
peace,
Diane

and keep it filled with oil;
Don't say you'll act tomorrow,

Tomorrow's already gone." - Rumi

Dolores P. (170)	April 22, 2007: Earth Day Blessings "You see that pale, blue dot? That's us. Everything that has ever happened in all of human history, has happened on that pixel. All the triumphs and all the tragedies, all the wars all the famines, all the major advances.....it's our only home. And that is what is at stake, our ability to live on planet Earth, to have a future as a civilization. I believe this is a moral issue, it is your time to cease this issue, it is our time to rise again to secure our future." --- Al Gore, Inconvenient Truth
