“When the doctor has a heart-problem, he goes to the “heart-specialist”. The “heart-specialist” goes to the “skin-specialist” when he has a skin-problem. The “skin-specialist” goes to the “psychiatrist” when he has a mental-problem. The “psychiatrist” goes to the “priest” when he has a spiritual problem. The “priest” goes to the doctor for the “annual medical checkup”. All TRUE. SOLUTION… End the INQUISITION by EDUCATING Humanity HOW to USE the ONELAW in Normal Daily Life. And, to make the HOME again the True Center of Government.”

“It's only now when words are said
that break my heart in two,
I wonder how you can endure
all I've said, all I say to you.”

“I cried, all right. I sat there at my desk and I cried for her, for me, for both of us, for all of us. I can't remember hurting any more in my life than I did then. Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right … but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?”
