I felt so sad this morn with a new empathy and awareness. I act lighthearted and may need to be more sensitive to the hurt some sisters carry...Serious.

..It is not just the post-war-trench that make us humans hurt deeply. In America the informative "news" is difficult to find. We do get cen-sored from the world's greater varied citizen's hurts.

My thought: At the sea in my truck listening to the CBC radio, I learned that in Bosnia there were 20,000 strategic rapes (war-crimes) that were sanctioned by the government against the Moslem women. Tears did flow, but that's okay if it opens the emotional seat of where human tender emotions lies. I was not aware on a deep level until tis morn. The sun rise, birds, and silver water was glorious...however...

Karen Wells from Alberta Canada did a piece, "In The Summer." 'The Sunday Edition' interviewed rape victims during that horrible war.

I'd heard of "Rape Camps" and have wondered how a military, police, or even on a casual date anywhere, a male could force himself...on another. I'm naive and sometimes believe I've been told every conceivable human depraved violation...?...But no...I was awakened to an aspect of painful Trauma...equivalent to a females war-violation...or worst.

Police officers systematically raped 20,000 women at knife point! A mere nine men were prosecuted as of this date. The lady victim testimonials were heartbreaking. The women were beautifuly defiant, and insisting thousands of war-criminals must be prosecuted. It is a Herclean task, but, they speak!

These stories are not about 'me' they insist. I agree. They demand a better sane world. The chased down violaters were often extremely Mentally-Ill. People will go mentally insane!

You can't run. Ya' may try to hide. I thank Canadian Mary Wells for a very sad, but enlightening story. I am more aware and more sensitized. I was sad and blew my nose in a hankey with a sincere hurt realization for sister victims of that kind of Trauma and who carry broken hearts. I only know love can heal. Let us learn. Maybe I express that for myself? We need empathy.

I felt I may have been too "loose" at times here- as I am prone to mentioning innocent 'sensual' affections. It is healthy. The Hymns To Inanna, yesterday, when I mentioned the female body, I could have been bordering on an insensitive and naive numb...

...to any victims who's troubled hearts are needing soothed. I admit.

Victims of crime are everywhere. Those Sumerian fertility Psalms about radiant Lady of The Evening, then, were more wholesome. Inanna was a Great Priestess. She was in the sky and on the Earth. A Queen Goddess of Heights and the Depths.

Diane Wolkstein translates those old tablet Sumerian polytheistic text-- "gods of war" and the "goddess of wisdom." What a goofy and contradictory 21- century. O, Song of Solomon! Help us.

The American visits a New Church to learn. The custom of the past was to visit a synagogue when Romans were hanging liberals onto trees naked. Turn the money tables over! Okay. Also: for punishment, I heard, a loin cloth wasn't even worn by Caesar's nailed victims. Sound like our DOJ's Abu-Grave? The R.W.A. legal Phariseas (sp) and hypocritical journalist scribes THEN were loyal. The 1st century Republicans served as the ushers passing the offering coffer-plate for schillings and dinero's. Collections. Politico's say "Gimme more and more money and a no purgatory to you." NO!

SO-Mea-Culpable and need to forgive?

Under the spreading blueberry bush

I was a visitor hidden under a blue bush;

The visitor is too scruffy a old damn man,

With whiskers all white on grinning cheeks.

I go to church to say I sin on this Sunday;

I hear the preacher yell and shout Hoola;

I run inside on time to toss a penny in a plate,

And take a few loonies out for money to buy wine.

I just visiting my neighbor. Ya' got a Ceasure Romain Lettuce Salad. I am an evangelical? I recomended Tragic Legacy to be read at the mid-week book reading service. I love this blog and this seashore. I'd go to a Tupperware party and buy a plastic bowl for wild berries and Sirop d'erable PUR= Pure NS Maple Tree Syrup. If invited.

I apologize. I know to marry a blog is not a "traditional marriage." Hail Mary full of grace and bless Elohim for the liberality of not censoring me? "Parrhesa" is old gospel free speech.
