A refuge for book lovers, poets, dancers,
radicals,
city monks, and kind friends
No doubt, the rain of good books has collected here
So, stop in and say hello
Drink and refresh yourself
Find some inspiration and
share with us your own joy at being alive,
however you say it
'…resistance, at
root, must mean more than resistance against war.
It is resistance against all kinds of things that are like war... so
perhaps, resistance means opposition to being invaded, occupied,
assaulted and destroyed by the system. The purpose of resistance, here,
is to seek the healing of yourself in order to be able to see
clearly... I think that communities of resistance should be places
where people can return to themselves more easily, where the conditions
are such that they can heal themselves and recover their wholeness.' -
