The Amateur Activist: January 2014
http://liberatasblog.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 19, 2014. Because signing Internet petitions isn't enough. Witness Against Torture just uploaded these videos to YouTube. Ret Maj. Todd Pierce speaking. Been so busy at work all week that I haven’t had time to unpack and share my impressions of last weekend’s Close Guantánamo events in D.C. Friday, January 10. I took a vacation day so that I could attend the screening of Doctors of the Dark Side. I had the pleasure of meeting and saying a few words to him before the film. Waterboarding, i...

The Amateur Activist: January 2015
http://liberatasblog.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 17, 2015. Just One of the Usual Suspects. This past week has been so hectic that my Megabus journey to D.C. seems like ages ago. Before too many more day pass, just want to record my trip to our nation's capital to. Protest the 13th anniversary of the arrival of the first detainees at Guantánamo Bay. Despite the recent release of about a dozen prisoners, 127 still remain, most of them held for over a decade without criminal charge. WAIT! There was a great deal of focus on Shaker Aamar.

The Amateur Activist: April 2015
http://liberatasblog.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 2, 2015. There's no loneliness where she's gone. Did we fail her in some way, I wonder? Why did she feel she had to go through it all alone? Perhaps she was very depressed and - in a downward thought spiral- believed that even we wouldn't care. We would have. I cannot imagine her pain and loneliness. But I believe that there is no loneliness where she now dwells. What do you think? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Liberata's books from LibraryThing.

The Amateur Activist: July 2015
http://liberatasblog.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. Jesus Cures My Paralyses. This morning this Gospel passage came to mind during silent worship:. Who can forgive sins but God alone? 8221; At once Jesus perceived in his spirit that they were discussing these questions among themselves; and he said to them, “Why do you raise such questions in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and take your mat and walk’? 8221; Mk 2: 1-12 (NRSV). I see a similar symbolism behind the ...

The Amateur Activist: The magic will go on
http://liberatasblog.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-magic-will-go-on.html
Saturday, May 31, 2014. The magic will go on. It was hard to distinguish the tears from the sweat this morning. Another rockin' Zumba class led by the incomparable Julie White at Unique Phyzique. Only the most fun fitness studio in PA if not the world. However, hugs and fond farewells followed today's class, the last until UP opens its doors at a new location in the (hopefully) near future. Speaking of which, today's cool-down was "Magic" by Cold Play. And indeed, the magic will go on. What do you think?

The Amateur Activist: October 2013
http://liberatasblog.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 13, 2013. During Meeting for Worship this morning we remembered one of our beloved members who recently passed away. Louise was a birthright Friend. The Spirit spoke eloquently through her words and actions, especially during the last few years when her delicate health forced her to become a shut-in. We rarely saw her, but she would send Spirit-filled greetings and messages to us in response to cards and phone calls. With the native inhabitants of the land. They that love beyond the world...
