The 2012 Autumnal Equinox occurs today at 9:49 am CDT (14:49 Universal Time), September 22.
The world of humans is in such a state discord and imbalance today.
In contrast, the perfection of the natural world is highlighted by today’s balance of day and night.
Nature is our greatest teacher.
Please do whatever you must to experience it.

From Frank Manning: The start of my favorite season. Do we all love best the season in which we were born?
James Prindle told me late Friday afternoon: “You lost the bet.” When I first started talking with James on the phone I bet him that he would never see the inside of a prison. Today Judge Carter denied James’ motion for a new trial. No surprises here. What judge would ever admit that he had presided over a depraved travesty of a trial! Carter also confirmed that James would have to spend 22 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. An object lesson in injustice in America today. What a shameful abomination!
The really bad thing is that the jail in Memphis began preparing James for transfer to prison. He is not allowed to interact with the other prisoners in his pod. He is allowed out of his cell only for one hour in the morning and one hour in the early evening. This is utterly barbaric.
I am a sore loser. I still say James will never see the inside of a prison. Mike Scholl, the competent and caring attorney we now have for James, will file an appeal with the Appeals Court. We hope he will be able to have James kept in the Memphis jail until the appeal is heard. We will prevail.

To be honest it doesn’t take me by surprise. Tennessee is a state that truly does NOT care for its children. Putting an innocent kid in prison or leaving childrens with their abusers is something that Tennessee does very well
31 children whose cases Tennessee DCS had at least studied died in first six months of 2012

Is DCS doing something to help James’ little sister or they are going to let her be a victim again, we need to remember her rapist is free.
so sad, truly there is not justice.
