AwakeningLulu A. ConnWhen consciousness first reaches outto bring us from our drifting cloud ofsleep, it is like the sunlight upon the floorof a woods, dancing in patterns of spark-ling happiness, now and then arrested bya shadow of seriousness.Flitting reflections of other days anda certain expectation of the days to comecast their pattern upon the mist, as if thewind stirred the leaves and allowed alittle more sunlight to penetrate.Then full consciousness grasps uswith shocking force. The delicious drift-ing of sleep and the irridescence ofwakening cease.Purple PatchRadical groups are like leaky faucets.Inconsequential if the drain is open, butextremely harmful if the drain is cloggedwith selfishness, greed and hatred. Littledrips of dislike and propaganda can soonbecome whirlpools of treachery.The most effective weapon in dis-solving this clog is not greed, hatred andselfishness in return. The catharsis is asimple word. called tolerance. A simpleword that so few people practice.Norma BrownAll men accept the presence ofnatural law, but all through the agessome men have not been satisfied withjust knowing that such laws exist. Theyhave wanted to know why wood floats,they have wanted to know what makesus laugh and cry. In order to answertheir questions, they have developed atool known as schooling. With this toolwe can pry the lid off the secrets ofeducation. With this tool, we can chip"way the veneer that covers the surfaceof education and help ourselves to theriches which lie within.- J.
