I believe in reincarnation and that we've lived thousands of lives before the one we are living now. I always thought how interesting it would be to find out what life I had lived before this one I'm living now. I'm now a broken-down, world-weary, 54-year-old going through midlife crisis.<br

As the recent editorial by Kathy Nyland ["A neighborhood consumed by talk of trash," May 30] pointed out, if Seattle is to reduce and divert waste, city officials must stop relying on landfills. It is time that our community entered into a larger discussion about sustainable living.
It has been said that Chekhov sat with quiet eyes at the gateway of the soul. But in "Prayer for My Enemy," playwright Craig Lucas dares to go within, guiding the audience through a private tour of the decaying layers of contemporary American society.

But it is always revealing.'PRAYER FOR MY ENEMY'Intiman TheatreTuesday-Sunday through Aug. 26Tickets: $10-$48, 269-1900 or www.intiman.org

Subsequently the many letters and e-mails written by citizens of Queen Anne and the arts community influenced the council vote.
