Thank you Cheryl, for the text of Thanksgiving! I think that we "non Americans" take after the most of traditions you invent over there... but not Thanks giving - and by the image of that tradition through all Americans movies I get the expression that if just one - that should be the one we ought to import from you...

Open Space gives birth to infinite possibility - Harrison calls magic. To all you magicians...thank you - on this day Abraham Lincoln declared "Thanksgiving". I'm thankful for all the magic...what was, what is and what will be. Cheryl Honey Community Weaver Lincoln's Declaration of Thanksgiving as a National Holiday, 1863 We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven, we have been preserved these many years in peace and prosperity; we have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us. It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice, by the whole American people. I do therefore invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United States, and also who are at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands, to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November as a Day of Thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the heavens. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Rapp" <john.r...@peithene.com> To: <osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu> Sent: Thursday, November 24, 2005 12:25 PM Subject: I give thanks today for ... > Harrison Owen, and all of you, who make me believe, just a little bit > more, in a world that can work (better) for all ... > > Happy Thanksgiving, > John > > * > * > ========================================================== > osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu > ------------------------------ > To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, > view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: > http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html > > To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: > http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
