It goes without saying that those who overdo the "eat, drink, and be merry" lifestyle may not necessarily be really experiencing peace. It may seem obvious to many except the one who is imbibing. The damage inflicted is more than obvious to the outside observer. |
Have you ever traveled solo in a foreign country for months on end, or even considered doing so? Sara Wheeler considered this, and went. "Travels in a Thin Country" relates the author's trek through the country of Chile, where she starts in the north by Arica all the way south to the part of Antarctica managed by Chile.

“CROSSING TO PENNSYLVANIA” So, we were crossing another state border, entering into the state of Pennsylvania. Our first planned destination was in that state, a place called Bushkill Falls. |
“TRAVEL IN LOCAL SPACES”
“OTSELIC RIVER” The river runs past us, to a destination unseen. Just as we come right up to the edge, its water teasing us, it shies away, meeting us briefly before it makes its escape, branching off into other rivers and changing its identity. |

What is the world today supposed to be? What is it about, and why? Is there any reason to even care about asking these questions anymore? What is a church of the streets, anyway?
The “First Church of The Streets” is a means of answering these questions. It is non-sectarian in the sense that it doesn't rely on any one religion to satisfy these answers. Neither does the church of the streets negate religion for comfort in secular classic philosophy. With it not being constrained to any particular dogma, the church of the streets can employ any or all of these methods. It is also free to use those schools which are considered too foolish to answer anything by so-called higher thinkers, such as popular culture. Just as religion and philosophy seem to give comfort to many in times of uncertainty, to many, popular culture is a refuge and an oasis. In this respect, it is as much a part of the church of the streets as anything else. History Starting in 1998 I started posting my poetry and short stories online. My first website was an inclusion of these writings. When I completed my first two novels, I made them available online, in their entirety: New Earth Works. The E-zine was a natural extension of this activity. It went online in March 2003. It includes observations, as well as expository thinking. Since this is an e-zine of many ideas, outside submissions are welcome. Any topic is welcome, providing that one attacks issues and not people. title="Click to Comment or Contact Us">© 2003-2006 All writing, music or photography presented on this site is the property of their respective and individual creators.
