Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream (Book) - 1/9/2008 9:00:23 PM
So graciously you sent in the post an autographed copy of this book once you published it. I was so grateful, and have ever since truly looked to it for inspiration. If anything, for grounding as well! How true it is that our lives have innately begun to be so fast-paced, our wheels aren't even touching the ground. To experience the ground as a wheel, in such a beauty as you do, is only something a talented writer like you could express. My (new) husband and I greatly enjoyed going over it when we moved in together. Absolutely beautiful and WORTH buying. There aren't many poetry books worth buying, but this one is.

I was surprised and honored to receive this gift which will be in my library for years to come in which my grand children and great grand children can see and read the works of two exceptional poets and admire the excellence in the photography that multi-talented Joseph has captured with his camera. I can only humbly say thank you for this gift that will transcend the ages. May God bless both of you with a long and fruitfull life. George Carroll

And when I view Diffused Infusion, it totally rocks my world! The photograph accompanying this is imagery beyond the universe! AWESOME pattern of light! I use total recall and I have a photographic memory. Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream is stored in my memory and I will access it often. I will share Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream with my company. I have it proudly displayed upon my coffee table where my seven cut-crystal prisms hanging in my wall of window looking west to the base of the Wet Mountains just eighty acres away, where the monks train at a retreat at the Trinity Ranch, reflect their colors of the rainbow upon Joseph's and Alexandra's Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream. Thank you OneLight, Alexandra and Joseph for Universes Beyond the Visible ~ Elements of Dream. This book I will always, for as long as I am on this plane of life, will cherish, and when I leave, remember, I have a photographic memory and my spirit will merge what you have so graciously given me. I love you both. Blessed Be. Love, Sage

Thankyou Alexandra and Joseph for this glorious gift. May you continue to enrich us with more gems from pen and camera. Blessings, Vesna:)

Echoes from Within (Book) - 1/26/2006 1:32:51 PM
I’ve always been a fan of Haiku poetry, and this book contains many marvelous compositions by a remarkable poet. And, I’ve always believed in the ancient ‘Circle of Life,’ as does Joseph Randell, the author of this book, who truly pens Haikus from deep within his poetic heart and soul. It was very hard to pick favorites since they are all very good, but here are two of mine: Child Within Wake me up to Life, Cries the Child Within ~ Help me breathe again. Gifts Colours of my Soul Splashed upon Life’s canvas bright ~ Gifts I share with you. This poet has shared his wonderful gift with us, and I highly recommend this book.

Republican Chronic Syndrome ... (Article) - 11/16/2009 12:59:49 PM
Joseph, You are 100% correct in this article. From age 18 to 22, I was a member of the Young Republicans (elected Vice President of my local group)I also ran for City Council and worked fearlessly for Ronald Reagan. As I got older, I became aware of the facts you state in this article. I also became aware that I was voting for corporate interests instead of my own interests. I moved from Republican to Independent also and voted against Bush senior. I have voted Republican for some local candidates but on a national level, that's another issue, I find my ties are closer to the Democrats. I agree, we need to vote for the person and not the party. Thank you for this honest and informative article.

Right-wingers target U.S. Veterans! (Article) - 11/12/2009 12:34:11 PM
I don't think that any HONEST person can say that Obama hasn't done anything to help our veterans. There are, indeed, places our government should go - helping our veterans is one of those places and Obama, in this case, has gone where no man has gone before. (At least in modern history.) Give credit where credit is due. There are plenty of places to go if you want to condemn President Obama - this is not one of them, in my opinion.

Right-wingers target U.S. Veterans! (Article) - 11/11/2009 9:19:37 AM
Dear Georg, In less than ten short months, President Obama has: *Requested $15 billion in increased funding for the Veterans Administration over 30 years -- the largest increase in history! *Signed into law the "VA Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act" which will provide the VA with advance funding-the #1 legislative priority of almost every Veterans Service Organization. *Provided $1.4 billion in additional funding to the VA under the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" that is going directly to improving VA hospitals and clinics around the nation. *Expanded VA-healthcare enrollment opportunities for more than 250,000 previously excluded Veterans, and continue to raise this number towards a goal of 500,000. *Launched a major Veterans Employment Initiative that is designed to make the federal government into the model employer of America's veterans. There is still more work to do and, given President Obama's record of supporting U.S. Veterans, I am confident that he will get the job done.

Right-wingers target U.S. Veterans! (Article) - 11/11/2009 7:41:37 AM
Dear Joseph, right wings, left wings, center wings and no wings at all, there has been not a single President, Congress or House of Representatives that has given a speck of any promise made. The only thing we ever got was a bombastic, meaningless words about how proud they was of "our" soldiers. Repulsion comes to mind. Georg

Right-wingers target U.S. Veterans! (Article) - 11/11/2009 7:10:50 AM
I see what you are saying, Joseph. My late father was a veteran of the Korean War. His benefits was a constant struggle to keep. The radical right can wave the flag all they want but to truly support our veteran, they need to provide for them. I received an email from a member of the radical right who stated,"Why throw our Tax money at people, God is here to provide for them." I totally agree that God will provide but it is heartless to put off on God what we are able to do ourselves. Would you yell to a drowning child,"Hang in there, God will save you" or would you attempt to save the child yourself? I have given it on talking to the closed minded people, I expect I will get a few messages about why we DON"T NEEED TO SUPPORT OUR VETERANS and that they can care for themselves. I reserve my delete button for such people. This is also why they are now at 22% in the polls.

Right-wingers target U.S. Veterans! (Article) - 11/11/2009 6:02:04 AM
Are those the same right wingers that spit on our veterans returning from Vietnam, or are they the right wingers who burnt American flags, and waved Communist North Vietnamese flags in our streets while calling our returning soldiers baby Killers, Joseph?

Constitutional Violations ... (Article) - 11/11/2009 4:08:56 AM
Ah…so that explains why Barrack Obama is a total failure.

Constitutional Violations ... (Article) - 11/10/2009 2:46:23 PM
Then why did no one take it to court? If Bush violated the Constitution, prove it in a court of law. If he had done these things, the ACLJ along with the ACLU and many other watch groups would have done so long ago. These are all lies spewed by Bush haters and will only convince other Bush haters. There is no proof of any of this. There will be proof of Obama/Reid/Pelosi and companies violations though - mark my words. This is especially true if they manage to push through this unconstitutional health care plan.

Constitutional Violations ... (Article) - 11/10/2009 9:43:57 AM
These first two should have been enough to impeach but the right wing has excused them. Now they search and search for any and all excuses to call President Obama into question. The right wings credibility is already destroyed and they destroyed it themselves. I. The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution and Coverups in the Iraq War II.

Rights of American Citizens ... (Article) - 11/8/2009 6:08:03 PM
This is crap. There are too many watch groups to ensure the Constitution is not violated. We'll see what happens when Obama Care is passed - if it's passed.

Unemployment Rates … (Article) - 11/8/2009 1:32:02 PM
Yeah, maybe it's because it's the Congress (when controlled by Dems) that cause the unemployment rates to rise (always) - ya think? So you think the Dems Health Care plan will help the economy? You guys are grasping at straws. You need those straws to drink your Kool aid. Good luck with that. You'll learn - on second thought, I doubt you ever will. God help us all.

Unemployment Rates … (Article) - 11/8/2009 6:45:14 AM
Below is what I call Republican optimism.-LOL I agree with your numbers, Joseph. I think the Health care reform will help more employers to save money and in turn hire for workers. The concern on the right wing is the loss of money by the health care CEO's.

Unemployment Rates … (Article) - 11/8/2009 3:17:45 AM
I think you might be right on this one Joseph. With government controlled “healthcare” most Americans will probably be dead in a few years. Then they’ll be lots shovel ready jobs at the cemeteries for the survivors. The only question is… Will the survivors (Congress and the special people who were allowed to keep their health care) know how to operate the shovels.

AMA and AARP Support … (Article) - 11/7/2009 4:05:18 PM
Hopefully Congress will remember just WHO these organizations REALLY are and WHY they support health care.

Republican Hold-up … (Article) - 11/6/2009 6:16:18 AM
Veterans, and soldiers, suffered greatly in the eight long years of the Bush Administration, from lack of proper armor to fight a war, to deteriorating conditions in military and VA hospitals, to massive yearly cuts in veteran benefits. And I saw very few protests from all these now concerned citizens in those eight miserable years.

Republican Hold-up … (Article) - 11/6/2009 5:29:41 AM
The right wing claims to be "pro-military." They are just "pro-war.' The veterans mean nothing to them. My family has served in every war in the civil war. The last Republican to treat them with any respect as a veteran was Abraham Lincoln. Every Republican since then has tried to cut their benefits.

Republican Hold-up … (Article) - 11/6/2009 4:25:45 AM
A sudden concern for veterans...how nice. Ghee, it would really be nice if they had some concern for our troops in combat in Afganisan...and now also The United States. Maybe that guy that was under "gunfire" can provide his expert military opimion on the matter.

President Obama Delivers ... (Article) - 11/5/2009 1:40:01 PM
The wait of the world is upon this man. If the right wing desired good for this country and their children's futures, they would shut their mouths and only open them to pray for this man. President Obama was elected President of a nation with more problems then a nation who had seen eight years of destruction during occupation. George Bush was the occupier of this nation not the leader. He ran through our treasury for his own benefit and handed the money to the wealthy. He declared war (Illegally) and abused the Constitution. Now the right wing complain that President Obama does not have the country in 100% perfect condition. How soon they forget or I might say plead denial.
