hi. we are the jmdl underground. you don't know us. nor are we interested in letting you know who we are. there was a time when we were living among you but even then we knew we were not made to share your warm sunlight fresh air red wine and sweet freedom. we had to hide behind locked doors under false names. we had to send our children to far away schools and spend our weekends in bed. we knew that each moment could be our last one. we were waiting for the knock on the door. we lost our friends our jobs our faith. there was no spark in our eyes. not a smile on our faces. we knew it was time to leave our lives behind and vanish. and so we did. we left your world and went to live underground with the maggots. there were times when we couldn't even speak to eachother for the fear of trusting anyone was much too risky. but we had no choice. we had us and nothing more. we began healing eachother. we taught eachother how to grow our own food. we were 6 feet under your pavments b! ut we were free. we were safe at last. we began sharing ideas and thoughts and feelings that for many years were kept as a dark secret. we no longer had to bow our heads and fear our neighbors. we had a world of our own to live in and this world is where we are now. we're very happy here at the jmdl underground. we use the methods you've given us in order to talk to eachother knowing that whatever the key you press may be you'll never find out what we are talking about. we exploit the list you've inveted for our own needs knowing that however hard you'll try listening to us you'll never hear a thing. we study the information you share with eachother and do with it as we please knowing that no matter what strings you pull you'll never hunt us again. we help our friends who are still hiding in your world in any way we can to free their minds and join us here at the amazing joni bitchell underground list and every now and then we griev the ones that were lost and gone. we no longer desire to go back. this is our home. (dedicated to all the wonderful wonderful wonderful women and men who still have to write to eachother private messages and not to the whole list in fear of being treated like weirdoes or joni enemies and especialy to those who wrote me after my last mail. you know who you are and you know you're the best. if you feel it's too late for you to write to the whole list every now and then all those outstanding and witty and oh so funny mails you do - please go on writing to me and to all the "you know who you are" friends we have here. you're not alone, you'll never be alone, and i love you more than you can imagine) nuriel _____________________________________________________________ Free email, web pages, news, entertainment, weather and MORE!
