...With stitches

Miarrie

IN TORONTO earlier this year,
Sajid Rhatti, 23, and his 20-year-
old wife brawted over whether
Katey Sagal, who plays Peg Bundy
on the Married with Children TV
show, is prettier than Christina
Applegate, who plays her daughter.
First, the wife slashed Rhatti in the
groin with a wine bottle as they
scuffled,* but she dressed his
wounds, and the couple sat down
again to watch another episode of
the show. Moments later, the brawl
erupted again, and Rhatti, who suf-
fered a broken arm and shoulder,
_ stabbed his wife in the chest, back
“and legs before they implored
neighbors to call an ambulance.

In May, Jams Von Arx, 41, who
had been on probation for child
molestation in Wausau, Wisconsin,
was jailed after he refused court-
ordered sex therapy designed to
induce interest in adult erotic
images. He argued that such thera-
py is unconstitutional because it
requires him to masturbate, which
is against his religion.

Obasi, 29, of Shreveport,
Louisiana, was recently brought,
bleeding from the eyes, to Parkland

William and Hermita Doyle
were placed on probation in
Waynesville, Missouri, in
December after pleading guilty to
allowing their three teenage daugh-
ters to dance nude at a club near an
Army base in nearby St. Robert.

A Virginia Beach husband and
wife were sentenced to six years
each in prison in April for having
their daughters, ages 13 and 14,
take photographs of the couple
having sex. The husband, who is in
the Navy, said he wanted to take
the photos with him during sea duty.

ARIES (March 21-April 20)

HEAVENS ABOVE

ITS ENERGY is so unbe-
lievable that it forms all uni-
verses and because its ener-
gy is within and behind all
universes, systems and
fields, it is aware of each
sparrow that “falls,” for it
IS each sparrow that falls.

There is no division between
the mental, the spiritual, and the
physical.

If you think there is, then you
do not sufficiently uriderstand the
spirituality of the flesh or the phys-
ical reality of your thought. No
blame.

In the miraculous spontaneity of
SUN, there is a discipline that
utterly escapes the one who perpet-
ually cries out for discipline and a
knowledge beyond any that we
know.

In the spontaneous playing of
the bees from flower to flower,
there is a discipline beyond any
that we know, and laws that follow
their own knowledge and JOY
that’s beyond command for true
discipline is found only in spon-
taneity.

Spontancity knows its own
order.

The seasons come each year as
they have for centuries upon our
planet, and they come with a mag-
nificent spontaneity and with a cre-
ativity that bursts upon the world
and yet they come within a highly
ritualized and disciplined manner.

June 21 marks the Summer
Solstice, the longest day of the
year. For Celtic people it is tradi-
tionally a day of ritual celebration.

Harpist Rita Costanzi and my
friend, singer/storytefler, Treasa
O'Driscoll, who reminds me of
Marilyn Monroe (with whom I was
once acquainted), often perform
together. A reviewer has written of
their unique blend: “These fine
performers graciously moved us
with images that stirred the davk
and unredeemed places within, so
that light could enter, | had the
sensation of being covered ina
delicate lace, the kind joy casts
over you.”

Their June 21 program, “Sun
That Shines From Human Hearts,”
is a tapestry of poetry, music, song
and story. Works by Beethoven,
Debussy and Alberniz are included
along with Irish songs and extracts
from James Joyce.

Call Treasa Driscoll at 987-
8723 for details.
