Rejection

is really all not that bad. 

I just had a spate of rejections thrown my ego's way as I pitched away to the media on the telephone - but then I get all these really sweet people who are very kind and talk even for a few moments about what I am pitching.

a very very good thing I'm pitching to the news media.   

And I've realized that they are not rejecting me anyway.  Just another aspect of God rejecting God because the Gods of small things have very little time for anything but small petty things.

And whoever is reading this and I know many of you randomly read this blog- please make sure to sign MoveOn.org's petition to help the monks in Burma who are finally uprising against the military: 

After decades of brutal dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising. In the past few days, hundreds of thousands of peaceful protesters, led by Buddhist monks, have flooded the streets of Rangoon. But yesterday, the military started shooting monks and journalists.

This is a true emergency. Avaaz.org and MoveOn.org have launched a petition demanding Burmese generals negotiate rather than crush the demonstrators. They're focused on getting United Nations Security Council members--particularly China's Hu Jintao--to intervene. Thousands of people from all over the world are adding their names every hour -- will you sign? Click here:

Have any of you read Island by Alduous Huxley?  Burma is very much like Huxley's fictional island.
