hello everyone.
i'm editing an anthology about community acupuncture and would love to read what you have to say about this. the end product will be a little zine we all can have in our clinics. sort of like a "little red book" format, with pieces by all kinds of practitioners, patients, volunteers, and anyone who is involved in this movement.

submissions should be no longer than 1,250 words (about 5 pages, double spaced).
write about:
* what does CA mean to you?
* how/why did you get involved?
* how had it changed you/ someone you know?
* the politics behind the movement
* revolution in health care
* small social enterprise
ETC
also accepting illustrations, comics, poems, related to the theme.

please send your submissions by January 1st, 2009 to:
BCA
c/o Maria
1212 C SE Powell Blvd.
Portland, OR 97202

Make sure you have a copy of your stuff, as i won't be mailing it back to you.
Thanks!

By the way, that's a pretty funny picture of you Maria.

All true religions seek to gain access to that level of consciousness which is not ego-bound.</

Wonderful idea!

Zang Fu does NOT

Zang Fu does NOT need that kind of encouragement!  He's challenging enough to deal with in cyberspace--can you imagine his words in print??

zang fool

Actually, I think that it would be entirely appropriate if the Fool was represented in a print anthology based on the amorphous, non-monolithic entity called CAN.

The symbolism of CAN for me - right now in this moment of history, goes far beyond acupuncture, plumbing the depths of the 232 year old American experiment.

Great article today in a local homeless newspaper - Real Change which CommuniChi supports - really brought home to me the coming dictatorship (if it's not already here) in America. What does this have to do with ZF and CAN? Free speech and direct action.

CAN's struggle for justice in health care is intimately connected with the larger struggle for justice for all people. ZF - in my mind, is on the front lines of that battle, proving perhaps that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Of course, this is just my opinion and I welcome your thoughts in your return. And isn't it great that we can have this discussion -even if at this very moment, some giant neo-con data mining program is zeroing in on our cyber identities...in which case, see you in the gulag (but they can never take away our inner freedom and commitment to truth!)
