SEDITION/PROTESTS This blog is written purely from COMMON SENSE.  I read some writings on sedition in general and from the angle of India and if you want to explore these writings they are found on the web. There are better authorities on this subject than me. When I read that a minstrel (from South India) wrote a song about his thoughts and dissatisfaction with the government of his state including the CM and at 2 a.m. was taken from his home and charged with sedition.  SEDITION???? In a Democratic Country???? My words was “You got to be kidding.” I went on to state to my friend SEDITION!  I who live in the oldest Democratic Country, USA with all the protest, verbal discontent, marches, and the like, 80% of the country would be imprisoned serving big time sentences.  I could NOT wrap my mind around how a Democratic Country the largest in the world touted around the world from the Prime Minister to other governments referral of India is working a two ...

MIRACLE Last week I went on retreat to my favorite place Our Lady of Lourdes Basilica Poondi, South India.  This for me is a place to rejuvenate in mind, body and spirit it is my “little piece of heaven.”  For several years I have been having dizzy spells that occur mostly when I lay down, get up or tilt my head a certain way.  They would occur for a small period of time then disappear.  This year the occurrence was almost every day and began to be worrisome too me.  I had dodged the “go see a doctor” mantra from friends and family but this retired nurse began self-diagnosing and I ran the gambit from cancer to a tumor. I in the last five years in India never needed a doctor for I went back to the states to be operated on for cancer in 2011.  As anyone knows to pick a doctor you at least want to have some kind of rapport and understanding, which I found in a Franciscan Doctor and Nun who happens to also be a Surgeon.  Doctor Sister’s d...
