• Violence against women is not random or anonymous. In West Virginia, 88 percent of sexual-assault victims already know their attacker. In my hometown, Alicia McCormick, an advocate for our domestic-violence shelter at the YWCA, was killed in her home by a man doing handiwork in her apartment complex. That one of my greatest advocates could fall victim to something she fought against her whole life was a tragedy that moved me to action.

• Round a turn of the Qin Fortress winds the Wei River,
  And Yellow Mountain foot-hills enclose the Court of China;
  Past the South Gate willows comes the Car of Many Bells
  On the upper Palace-Garden Road-a solid length of blossom;
  A Forbidden City roof holds two phoenixes in cloud;
  The foliage of spring shelters multitudes from rain;
  And now, when the heavens are propitious for action,
  Here is our Emperor ready-no wasteful wanderer.

• We live in a world of energy. An important task at this time is to learn to sense or see the energy of everyone and everything -- people, plants, animals. This becomes increasingly important as we draw close to the World of the Fifth Sun, for it is associated with the element ether -- the realm where energy lives and weaves. Go to the sacred places of the Earth to pray for peace, and have respect for the Earth which gives us our food, clothing, and shelter. We need to reactivate the energy of these sacred places. That is our work.
