It's the nylon in the fabric combined with the low humidity conditions this
time of year.  I work in an office with nylon carpets and metal file
cabinets.  We spray the carpet with a solution of fabric softener & water
(1:5) and it seems to help.  Also "slapping" the metal to dissapate the
charge works too.

The healing of our present woundedness may lie in recognizing and reclaiming
the capacity we all have to heal each other, the enormous power in the
simplest of human relationships, the strength of touch, the blessing of
forgiveness, the grace of someone else taking you as you are and finding in
you an unexpected goodness.
