Volunteer Translators

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

i noticed recently throuhg myspace that the group is looking for volunteer translators. I couldn't help but think of the following email that was sent to me recently and after reading Randy's ever beautiful poetry on nature, I thought I would share this with you all.

I don't speak languages other than english, but if anyone ever needs help translating the (often) unintelligible Australian "Ockerisms", Id be glad to help.

Love & Light

Rhonda
