Young Kwai Chang Caine: I loved him.
Master Kahn: He was my master.
Young KCC: How did you know where he was?
Kahn: There could be only one place for him. His favorite path in the foothills. We found Master Son's body, in a comfortable position. His back resting against the boulder. Staring down at our valley. His face glistened in the frost. But his lips were black, from the poison of the wild berries.
Young KCC: Everyone loved him. Why did he take his own life? (Master clasps his hands together.) Yin and Yang?!
Kahn: The Yes and the No. In him, the No conquered.
Young KCC: But I sensed that he was in harmony.
Kahn: Perhaps he looked into our valley, knowing that soon he would have to leave it. But instead of the beauty we observe, he saw ugliness.
Young KCC: How is that possible?
Kahn: He looked with his eyes. As we look with ours.
RIP

Inter-Faith Food Shuttle Budget Crisis
The Inter-Faith Food Shuttle needs your support!
In 2008, the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle received $100,000 from the City of Raleigh to fund our programs and provide services to low-income citizens in Raleigh. Just this morning we were informed that the $100,000 we expected to receive for 2009 has been cut and the Food Shuttle has been completely omitted from this year's budget! With $100,000 last year, we were able to provide food to 24,325 Raleigh residents each week and distributed 3,727,595 pounds of food during the year. Simply stated, our services are not possible without the City of Raleigh's support.
Tonight Jill Bullard, Founder, along with our Board of Directors and Food Shuttle staff, will stand before the City Council to request inclusion in this year's budget. Yet, we also need you to let your representatives know how important it is that we continue to drive hunger from our communities. Here's what you can do:
* Meet tonight at 6:30p in front of the City Hall 222 W. Hargett Street. Tonya Post, our Director of Programs will be there to meet you.
*Call and/or write your City of Raleigh Councilor in the next 5 days to let them know food is a basic right for all citizens and the Food Shuttle needs the support of the City of Raleigh to feed people in need! Click on this link to locate your Councilor: http://raleighnc.gov/portal/
Please see the attached document for an overview of programs and people we serve in the Raleigh area.

Thank you for your time and continued support!
