so friends,
we've decided to decorate our toilet room in post cards. we're thinking wallpaper of various from around the world.
send us one from where you're at. send us one from where you've been. send us some whacky one you find on the sidewalk... in your sock drawer... in a random garage sale... or one you'd throw away.

Battle Hymn for Children: in the name of peace we make war.
I just can't stop running this through my head... over and over and over. And haunted by what we do to children. And hopeful that I'm one of the ones leading by example to the path of peace. Lyrics Below, and video underneath.
Battle Hymn for Children - The Faint
teacher
bring me to heaven
or leave me alone
why make me work so hard
when you know i work slow?
don't make us watch you scrape
more powder on the walls
show us a laser
take to space
or let us go
we got violent games on pause at home
you've seen this angst take shape
don't hide those guilty eyes
you gave us guns for toys
we trained with cross hair scopes
then in the name of peace we make war
sergeant
i don't remember how you said to deal with guilt
i'm haunted by families
even ghosts of soldiers kids
is it God against god
and the pawns are people?
if they're both the same god
then the battle's over
details
preacher
am i gonna make it?
am i going up?
am i forgiven for the humans i dropped?
it's not like a game once the guilt piles up
if i knew what i know now
it's easy to say i wouldn't go
i had violent games on pause at home
you know how hate takes shape
don't hide those guilty eyes
you gave us guns for toys
imposed beliefs then pride
we were taught that God prefers the U.S.A.
just like the billboard sign -"this is god's country"
if it's true that god roots for the U.S.A.
is every bomb we drop in god's name?

Sara, Sara ... so easy to look at, so hard to define.
here's to my favorite Dylan song.... and my favorite song with my namesake...
I laid on a dune I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach.
Sara, Sara
Whatever made you want to change your mind
Sara, Sara
So easy to look at, so hard to define.
I can still see them playing with their pails in the sand
They run to the water their buckets to fill
I can still see the shells falling out of their hands
As they follow each other back up the hill.
Sara, Sara
Sweet virgin angel, sweet love of my life
Sara, Sara
Radiant jewel, mystical wife.
Sleeping in the woods by a fire in the night
Drinking white rum in a Portugal bar
Them playing leapfrog and hearing about Snow White
You in the marketplace in Savanna-la-Mar.
Sara, Sara
It's all so clear, I could never forget
Sara, Sara
Loving you is the one thing I'll never regret.
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Staying up for day in the Chelsea Hotel
Writing "Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for you.
Sara, Sara
Wherever we travel we're never apart
Sara, Sara
Beautiful lady, so dear to my heart.
How did I meet you ? I don't know
A messenger sent me in a tropical storm
You were there in the winter, moonlight on the snow
And on Lily Pond Lane when the weather was warm.
Sara, Sara
Scorpio Sphinx in a calico dress
Sara, Sara
You must forgive me my unworthiness.
Now the beach is deserted except for some kelp
And a piece of an old ship that lies on the shore
You always responded when I needed your help
You gimme a map and a key to your door.
Sara, Sara
Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow
Sara, Sara
Don't ever leave me, don't ever go
I laid on a dune I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always so close and still within reach.
