Ka Lian made me cry - I'm a star!

I showed my film, "The Golf War - a story of land, golf and revolution" to my best buds at the K School - it was a screening for other mid-careers. I had a nice turnout of good progressive buds with an army dude thrown in the mix. I was planning on doing work during the screening but I hadn't watched the film in so long, so I ended up being mesmerized by it. It was interesting to see if after a few years - definitely saw the limitation of our footage/film stock availability, but the story is still so powerful.

During the Q & A, I broke down in tears as I described how the guerrilla who was assasinated is the namesake for Kalian - I hadn't screened it publicly since she had been born. Fortunately, everyone was very supportive. Pamela brought me flowers, and I got lots of great hugs afterwards - something that isn't very common at the K school - I felt very loved and it felt good to have that community since I miss my homebirthin'/yoga/mickey folks back in the bay area. I also felt so good about myself again - in terms of the positive feedback about something I had done - wow, I really missed that staying home with my kids - not that I didn't get good vibes from yoga students or in other ways, but that work/creative/political fulfillment was definitely missing.
