I wish I could feel the serenity of that beautiful garden - maybe someday again I will. As I wrote previously Joni did give us some of her thoughts about Sept. 11th which I hesitated to relate to the list because 1) I didn't feel right about repeating her before she made an "official" kind of statement in an interview, song, etc., 2) we may not have heard her entire viewpoint on the subject and I did not want to cheat her by relating it before perhaps not having all of her thoughts on it. I will give a hint, though, ;-) and say that the viewpoint she expressed is very unique and not at all geo-political in nature, either way, but she did place accountability in a non-political sector. I will also say that her viewpoints may be "politically incorrect" in certain circles, even though those viewpoints are not political in the traditional sense. I hope we do hear more from her soon. I also wonder if the listers from Toronto heard anymore from her on the subject and have anything to add. Kakki
