On my way home from a USAF Tech School (Knoxville, TN) in November, 1999, I decided to swing through Nashville to visit my friend, Tashahara. I left her home at around 4-5pm, and knew I had many mountains and hills to drive over, before I got to Toledo. I wasn’t prepared for what I saw, however, when I rounded the corner at the top of the 1st big hill. Across a small valley, on a much higher mountain, the sunlight of the already set sun skimmed over the horizon to illuminate only the tops of the trees at the top of that mountain. If you ever want to try to find it, it’s traveling North on I-65, somewhere between Nashville, TN and Louisville, KY. I had my Walkman, and started describing as best I could what I saw, how I felt…and my wish that I could have stopped to enjoy it. It turned into sort of a story that I don’t know if I will ever finish. I have the end, but I keep pushing it back, with a few added/inserted sentences, every few years.

Sunlight on the Tops of Trees

It’s late November. Driving home from Tennessee. With all the rest, my mind does wander, winding, roaming down the road, this highway blessed. I crest the first of many hills, and my trance is broken. For, through it, sees my eye, atop a mountain in a nearby land, sunlight on the tops of trees.
My soul gives pause, and awes at this greater, nobler mountain’s crown, thus donned at dawn, then bathed in bliss all day, ’til just before sundown. There crowned again, except that now, chapeau royale tipped the other way, it’s dancing jewels dazzling bright, for so sunlight on the tops of trees will play.
I long to stare, yet dare not, for the road demands it’s due. So do I give. Yet, all the more, my soul looks toward the view for that sustaining moment telling, to which my soul did awake. But not sustained for me, for homeward must I go. So will I think myself a young man who did roam this same path on foot long ago, yea, at the brink of twilight, halting when he sees the sunlight on the tops of trees.
Having been, thus, there halted hence, he sees a stump on which to rest his eyes on the magnificence of the scene. And swelled in his breast such an awe that he felt his heart might break forth from his chest, and that his lungs inspire so as to part his sides. His legs, like the great cats spring forth with pow’r upon their prey, so might his mighty young thighs catapult him across the way to where sunlight on the tops of trees signifies the end of day.
“But such is the stuff of so much fantasy.”, he thought. Though strong, he was yet weary from the long day’s longer travels. “To think to traverse this valley below in one lone leap is surely delusion and dream, foolish of mind, folly of mine”. And so, to rest–he would sit…and sift through the sieve of this moment’s relief, the grains of time that had passed through the glass of his life up ’til now. Each granule a step, each breathing of breath one grain less that is left in this life. Both the grandest and grainiest of steps moving ever closer to death, but, first, toward this crest where life and sunlight on the tops of trees shall prove more resilient than even bitter death’s best.

He knows not how to satisfy the land, and yet he breathes. He deeply breathes the air, and swears it is the same as that which came by breeze from where he sees the sunlight on the tops of trees.

I’ve skimmed through the books at the Barnes and Noble on the mathematical and physical concepts of nothingness, or, as I want to bring the term to be recognized as, nonexistence. Skimmed through only ’cause there isn’t much new I already haven’t read about. Few books on this topic have copyrights marked inside the twenty-first century. Many books are redundant. Same old same old, ‘ya know?

MILK SKIMMED
A provocative GLBT Historical Society roundtable about what was left out of Gus Van Sant’s movie. February 19, 2009 in San Francisco.

Milk is a powerful fable about human rights, self-invention, and a movement’s proud vitality. Critical acclaim, box-office success, and awards underscore the film’s relevance. Still, the movie sidelined many prominent activists for gay rights in the 1970s, including lesbians and people of color, who stood with gay hero Harvey Milk. “Milk Skimmed” will explore alternative stories. It will also speculate on what Milk tells us about queer representation in popular culture today.

Featured panelists include:

Dr. Tomás Almaguer, Ethnic Studies Professor and former Dean of the College of Ethnic Studies at San Francisco State University, has authored Racial Fault Lines: The Historical Origins of White Supremacy in California (UC Press, 1994) and the widely-reprinted article “Chicano Men: A Cartography of Homosexual Identity and Behavior.”

Gwenn Craig was one of the co-chairs for No on 6, a key organization working with Harvey Milk for the 1978 defeat of the “Briggs Initiative” to strip educators of their civil rights on the basis of sexual orientation. For the past 30 years, she has continued to fight for the rights of queer people, women, labor, and people of color.

Dr. Joshua Gamson, Sociology Professor at University of San Francisco, authored Freaks Talk Back: Tabloid Talk Shows and Sexual Nonconformity (Chicago, 1998) and The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, The Music, The Seventies in San Francisco (Holt, 2005).



Ruth Mahaney, White Night Riots veteran, is a pioneer in the teaching of Women’s Studies, first in 1972 at Santa Rosa Junior College, and later as Women’s Studies Coordinator at Sonoma State University. She has gone on to teach Women’s Studies and GLBT Studies for 18 years at San Francisco State University and, since the mid 1990s, at City College.

“Milk Skimmed” is the kickoff event of TALKING BACK: QUEER HISTORY FULLY EXPOSED, an exciting new series at the GLBT Historical Society that will challenge us to appreciate the spectrum of our collective pasts and to actualize a more expansive future for all.

The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Historical Society collects, preserves, and interprets the history of GLBT people and the communities that support them. For more information, visit www.glbthistory.org.

I lived on skim milk and I like drinking milk for breakfast.But my mom wants to change and I never tried soy milk ever in my life.

For those who were on skim milk,when you switched,what is the best tasting one?

I like 8th Continent, Vanilla is the best flavor
Soy Dream Vanilla would be my second choice.

http://www.8thcontinent.com/8thContinent.aspx

I had gone to buy skimmed milk with the idea of trying it out as it contains the least amount of fat…But There were no "skimmed milk" available…but saw packets of "evaporated milk"…are they same ? Surprisingly these evaporated milk had no calory value printed on that…
any inputs on that ?
thanks and best wishes in advance…

Evaporated milk is milk that has had half of it’s water removed. So ounce per ounce, it WILL have more calories that regular milk.

Evap milk comes in two varieties: a regular (full fat) and a skim variety (little fat). Sounds like your store was out of the skim variety. Even then, regular evap milk has less fat than, say, half and half if you use it to whiten yoru coffee.

If you are in the USA, nutrition facts are required to be on the label by Federal law.

We buy semi skimmed milk but i do not drink it coz it makes my stomach rumble. Which food i a good source of calcium apart from milk. and which is suitable for lactose intolerants. Please no silly answers

Rice milk, Almond milk, goat milk, and soy milk are all alternatives to cow’s milk.

As for calcium: spinach and other leafy greens are great sources of calcium. Also, many people who are lactose intolerant CAN digest aged cheese without difficulty. Aged cow cheese, as well as sheep and goat cheeses are all good options, and delicious I might add.

Regardless of which foods you use to get your calcium requirements, I will also suggest supplementation with Citracal.

I thought it may be helpful to you to know that you may not be subject to a life without dairy. Having said that …If you are lactose intolerant, it means that your body is not properly or completely digest lactose. This is indicative of an enzymatic imbalance in your digestive system. Incidentally, if you are of Northern European descent, then you are likely genetically pre-disposed to lactose intollerance. Supplementing your diet with digestive enzymes that includes "Lactase" may dramatically reduce your incidence of intollerance, or may (over time) completely resolve the issue.

Good quality digestive enzymes can be purchased in any health food store as well as the internet.

Wishing you bountiful health!
