I found this blog post by searching for "The Fifth Sacred Thing". In the comments of a Pagan blog (I'm a Pagan, but a very,VERY different kind from Starhawk, not so much feminism and Goddess, more ancient Egypt and many goddesses and gods, and definitely NOT "flowers in the barrel of guns".)<br /> I pointed out more-or-less what you said (but less clearly and in reference to Gandhi) and someone responded, "Ever Read Starhawk's 'The Fifth Sacred Thing'?" I had heard of it but not much, so here I am. I suspect the commenter was being sarcastic, but I can't tell. Thanks for the review. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510763115118800825.post-42259989375768945922011-06-08T11:10:34.069-04:002011-06-08T11:10:34.069-04:00It was a throwaway line in a review, not a deep do...It was a throwaway line in a review, not a deep down dream.

Giving up on our dreams before we even begin to seek them out is the entire problem. I have the same dream and it's what I'm doing right now - we had to get a bit creative figuring out how to fund such a life-long adventure, but we're making it work and it's amazing. You may believe that non-violence is impractical, but no lives are being saved by cynicism either, my friend.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099605680291827813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510763115118800825.post-60072017708276155432009-06-19T08:38:43.799-04:002009-06-19T08:38:43.799-04:00Oh, I'm sure professional hippies make a good ...Oh, I'm sure professional hippies make a good living.That Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05514310999129694443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8510763115118800825.post-43423913789879547702009-06-18T18:13:44.402-04:002009-06-18T18:13:44.402-04:00Ack.
