Dear Sara,

Never even thought of you as being from " a red state " . I just don't think that

way. I also do not blame everyone who voted for Bush for all the wrong and the

wrong to come.( in my opinion, of course)

Yes, this fire warms at such a time when we sit unbelieving in front of the

photos of so much suffering. It is good to share our feelings and know we are

not alone.WE feel we need to express ourselves somehow to someone.

Glad I am still on this list...

As I have often mentioned, I am from one of the " red states " (Georgia.)

And at times I have had to listen to things I did not agree with or else

delete them on this list.

However, I am so glad I am still on this list.

There is a lot of compassion here. And so much wisdom (a la Alice and Toni.)

What a terrible thing has happened in Indonesia.

I am glad I am here. Where else would I find such heartfelt thoughts. On TV?

Cnn, Fox, Msnbc? I think not.

Anyway, even though I supported Bush in the 2004 election, I can not say all

is perfect there.

I am glad I am here with you all. And my prayers go out to those hurting.

Please know I am with you , even though I am from a " red state. "

I am glad that I am around the fire with all of you.

Love,

Sara

Yes, Toni.

As you said, we need to express our feelings to someone. And I am glad for

Jung-F. As you say, so much suffering. And what can we do but pray and care

and, unfortunately watch on

TV at a great distance.

And thank you for not judging me because I am from a " red state. "

Love,

Sara

Whoa. I'm not so sure those of us in red states are making purple.

But I think somehow we do have to make purple... That will take a lot of love

and understanding for one another.

Love,

Sara

Well, way I see it, there are " blues " in every red state and " reds " in every

blue state, so near as I can figger, purple is the color. *G*
