- FROM YALE TO JAIL The Life Story of a Moral Dissenter
- David Dellinger
- an inspired/inspiring bookreview by Noam Chomsky.
- (Lifted by Prime Anarchist from Fortkamp catalog
- 1-800-43-peace rosehill@iw.net
- Typed in by Data Entry. The AnaKlerk.)
-
- The son of a well-to-do Boston lawyer, David Dellinger
- seemed cut out for a distinguished career in law or gov-
- ernment. But rejecting his comfortable background, he
- walked out of Yale one afternoon during the Great Depress-
- ion, in his oldest clothes and without any money, to ride
- the freight trains, sleep at missions, and stand in bread
- lines. Dave lived among the poor in Newark, was bloodied
- in the freedom marches through the South, and led
- countless hunger strikes in jail. Always, he reached out to
- his antagonist to find common ground.
- Dave's memoirs shed new light on many of the most
- crucial events of the 1960's. His inside account of what
- happened in those years, and of the people who shaped
- that decade - Martin Luther King, Jr., Abbie Hoffman,
- Bayard Rustin, A. J. Muste, Dorothy Day, Jerry Rubin,
- Joan Baez, and many more - is an indispensable chapter
- in the story of our time.
-
- *Before reading this book, I knew and greatly admired Dave
- Dellinger. Or so I thought. After reading his remarkable
- story, my admiration changed to something more like awe.
- There can be few people in the world who have crafted
- their lives into something truly inspiring.
- This autobiography introduces us to one of them with the
- simplicity and integrity that have characterized everything
- Dave has done.*

- The Invitation
-
-
- by Oriah Mountain Dreamer (a Native American Elder)
- ((not sure what tribe))
-
-
- It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
- I want to know what you ache for,
- and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
-
- It doesn't interest me how old you are.
- I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love,
- for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive.
-
- It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
- I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
- if you have been opened by life's betrayals or
- have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!
-
- I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own,
- without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
-
- I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own,
- if you can dance with wildness and let the ectasy fill you
- to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be
- careful, be realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.
-
- It doesn't interest me if the story you're telling me is true.
- I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself;
- if you can bear the accusation of betrayal
- and not betray your own soul.
-
- I want to know if you can be faithful
- and therefore be trustworthy.
-
- I want to know if you can see beauty
- even when it is not pretty every day,
- and if you can source your life from God's presence.
-
- I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine,
- and still stand on the edge of a lake
- and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes"!
-
- It doesn't interest me to know where you live
- or how much money you have.
- I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair,
- weary and bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done
- for the children.
-
- It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
- I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me
- and not shrink back.
-
- It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
- I want to know what sustains you from the inside
- when all else falls away.
-
- I want to know if you can be alone with yourself,
- and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

- STATISTICS by Aaron K. (prime note: oops. two submissions.
- This one I was late getting to)
-
- "It has been taught very poorly", our teacher says
- as we silently nod in all knowing agreement that
- he is far too right remembering the question we got
- right on our assignment, that he marked wrong
- that he refuses to admit
-
- Soaked from surprisingly fierce wind driven early morning rains
- whose vigour I'd felt not worthy of my coat
- I sit in the air conditioned room and watch a classmate pickup
- and put on his jacket questioning yet again the sanity and
- intentionality of whomever sets the temperature
- Who're ignoring today's forecasted twenty degree drop
-
- Labouriously working through ever excruciating detail of an
- example which, having unusually studied for class, I find,
- as they like to say in math: trivial
- Watching the red glow of light emitting diodes on the
- digital clock, trying to catch the numbers change
- without the prof noticing
-
- classmate returns from blowing his nose
- I'm still wet and our best linear predictor is incapable of
- understanding the logic of the temperature gods and their
- reasons for trying to give colds to hundreds
- of students on the week of mid-terms
- Sniff, Sniff.
-
- I used to like math.
-
- "It has been taught very poorly," he said.
- Today was not an exception.
