    logo_sedonahumanlibrarySedona AZ (September 5, 2019) – Human books will share their stories on Sunday, Sept. 22, during the third annual Sedona Human Library™ event, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Sedona Public Library. Hear stories about transforming adversity and overcoming self-victimization after being bullied and stereotyped for their religion, gender identity, sexual preferences, body modifications or spiritual talents and skills.  

    Hosted by the Sedona International City of Peace, Rotary Club of Sedona and Sedona Public Library, the goal of the event is to dissolve prejudices and develop new ways of relating.

    “Gaining understanding of each other is especially important now,” said Margaret Joy Weaver, Board President Sedona International City of Peace and Event Manager. “The event provides the opportunity to ask questions of curiosity, to engage in dialogue and possibly shift your understanding and compassion.”

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
