I thought it might be interesting to post some 'Leaving the Seed' stories. Here's mine:
I was 26 years old. I had just had my 7 year Seed anniversary. I got a card that that said, 'Seven Years is a Long Time. Congratulations, we love you.' (I still have the card). I was living with Cliff, Corky, Brad, Dave - who else? Hard to remember. I had spent a year of so working at a print shop, before that I had worked with Bobby at a lawn service, before that I had taken a year off to 'help out' at the seed, and before that I had worked about 4 years at Broward General. Anyway, I felt that I was going no where. I was doing my best, but my needs, desires, passions, weren't engaged. I loved the people I was with, and I truly wanted to be a part, but I felt increasingly marginal and isolated. This was 1985. I had pushed down my disillusionment with the Seed for a number or years, but on this one occasion I couldn't avoid it. I hung out with one of my house mates until about midnight, watching TV. Went to bed, woke up at 3:00 am and thought, I have to go - now. I loaded up my car with whatever I could grab, eased it out of the drive, and started north. Later, change of heart, tried to call Cliff/The Seed to tell them I'd made a big mistake. Actually fell asleep with the phone in my hand. When I woke up, I knew I was right. I called my family in Ohio, told them I was coming home, ask questions later, got in my car and left the hotel. That was it.

That wasn't Zip Print in Pompano, was it?
I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul.... No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life -- our desire to go on living -- our dread of coming to an end.

Oh yeah? Is Rex back on the city commission? I heard he was making another run for it. Good man, Rex.
The more BORING a child is, the more the parents,
when showing off the child, receive adulation for
being GOOD PARENTS -- because they have a TAME
CHILD-CREATURE in their house.
