[Adta] Conference

[MHChang at aol.com]

Here's a quote from a favorite website quoting well-known writer/activist  
Barbara Ehrenreich. To me Ehrenreich sums up my experience at the  conference in 
Brooklyn. How amazing that we do this dance in relationship to  others, that 
we bring others along with us in our dancing!
 
>From _http://FreeWillAstrology.com_ (http://FreeWillAstrology.com) 
 
"The urge to transform one's appearance, to dance outdoors, to mock 
the  powerful and embrace perfect strangers is not easy to suppress . . . 
The  capacity for collective joy is encoded into us almost as deeply as the  
capacity for the erotic love of one human for another.  We can live  
without it, as most of us do, but only at the risk of succumbing to the  
solitary nightmare of depression.

"Why not reclaim our distinctively  human heritage as creatures who 
generate their own ecstatic pleasures out of  music, color, feasting, and 
dance . . . we need much more of on this crowded  planet, to acknowledge the 
miracle of our 
simultaneous existence with some  sort of celebration."
