DISCOVERY

That the South Austin Barn Dance has been going 18 years
That many benefits benefit from this land-based initiative
That a musician gives more than harmonies
That truth may be a song-but her voice carries
That sharing and co-operation are antidotes
That South Austin is an Independent Republic
That goodwill is not an industry but a way of life
That smiles translate across all borders-age,sex,yes
That fear is anger internalized(a reactionary ride)
That love means more than cliche(lives deep inside)
That words may be bridges,lyrics,bandages,panaceas
That one is always a beginning
That open mike works for every one
That responsibility means ability to respond
That every moment makes things better
That chances are for taking /love is in the making
and even if it does not rhyme/there is always someone waiting
to carry your discovery on-to other lines and times..Write ON!
