"If you have come here to help me, you are wasting your time...
But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine,
then let us work together."
-Lilla Watson
"My humanity is bound up in yours, for we can only be human together."

"The only kinds of fights worth fighting are those you are going to lose, because somebody has to fight them and lose and lose and lose until someday, somebody who believes as you do wins.
In order for somebody to win an important, major fight 100 years hence, a lot of other people have got to be willing -- for the sheer fun and joy of it -- to go right ahead and fight, knowing you're going to lose. You mustn't feel like a martyr. You've got to enjoy it."
-- I.F. Stone
"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved."
-William Jennings Bryan

Breaking the Ice!
As this is a brand new section, I figured I’d post something here in order to break the ice a bit, so it’s not quite so intimidating being “the first”. I do hope others decide to post here as well soon, though!
I’ll start with a brief introduction… my name is Nanette and I live in a household that consists of three old ladies… one of them a cat. Well, maybe I’m not so old, but still ;).
Human Beams started in 1998, with the idea of communicating across nations, cultures, religions and other false barriers, and owes its existence to the excellent and dedicated work of different volunteers over the years, who have had the same vision. The names and faces may change, due to the constraints of time and jobs and so on, but the vision remains the same.
We have plans for expanding over the next year, putting out a small print edition, updating and adding new areas and much more besides, all on no budget at all (heh). As usual, it will be challenging and exciting and will hopefully take us further in reaching our goal of saving the world ;).
You’re welcome to come and join in anywhere.
