I adored The Waltz!5
If anyone could get me a copy of The Waltz before Sunday, the 1st, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks so much! My address is LFahrman@aol.com, and just use the subject line: Michelle I love you all!

A joyful discovery of the vivaciousness of Life5
Pits? What are pits but a way to overcome the joyless soul-deadening obstacles modern spirituality brings us in contact with. The "pit" represents options, options not seen when hidden in the mainstream construct's ideal of good (represented by the 'cherry') The "pit" has uses far more immediate than the 'cherry' (i.e. using it as a projectile in a blowgun) and can produce more lasting results (shooting said blowgun into the head of your boss means that he probably won't be giving that promotion to that layabout Jenkins in Accounting).

Erma shoes a way out of the cherries of life and makes us all say "What am I doing in the pits if I'm not out there making the pain of others greater than my own?"
