Dear RN (Renaissance Network list), Sept. 11 I am back home, with access to the computer I use for RN messages. (BTW, I had some trouble downloading messages that came while I was away and so all messages sent between Aug. 18 and Aug. 31 are lost.) The big news now is the killings going on in East Timor; I will send you two messages on that today, with a heavy heart. I just want to take a moment to say, too, that there are, in amongst the discouraging news, reasons to take heart and I hope to be able to share some of those reflections with you before too long. But for now, I think it is most important to share with you information on how we might use the spotlight of attention on East Timor to be in solidarity with those who have been struggling long and hard for peace and justice there. all the best, Jan Creo que el mundo es bello, que la poesía es como el pan, de todos. (I believe the world is beautiful and that poetry, like bread, is for everyone) Roque Dalton Jan Slakov, Box 35, Weymouth, NS, Canada B0W 3T0 (902) 837-4980 --- CDR (Citizens for a Democratic Renaissance) home page -> http://cyberjournal.org ~================================================~ To subscribe to the cyberjournal simply send an empty message to: <•••@••.•••> ~================================================~ To keep posted on the democratic renaissance send an empty message to: <•••@••.•••>.
