My sister Susan’s suicide three years ago was the result of her evaluation of the way things are,and her choice to not put up with it any longer.She looked at the same universe Dr. King saw,and she did not view it as bending toward justice at all.”Each to their own,” as we sometimes say.However, ourContinue reading “November, 2024”

Life seems to have such repetition about it, flowing through the ages, as though we all share someone else’s motivations and memories. My questing seems to be someone else’s forwarded to me—someone I am not related to in at least the two generations preceding my birth. The things that call to me did not callContinue reading “October 28, 2024 – A”

Netanyahu and Trump represent the failure of life,with the Palestinians being to Netanyahuas immigrants are to Trump:The only way you can be safeis to kill all your enemies.You can’t kill enough of them fast enough.If they are going to live at allit has to be somewhere far, far, away–say on separate moons of Mars.Life firstContinue reading “October 27, 2024 – A”

Jesus did it.Buddha did it.Name a knowerand they did it.And they allContinue reading “October 23, 2024 – A”

No one can be anything.The list of things I cannot berivals anyone’s,and all of us have an incredibly long one.I cannot be an opera singer, for instance.Or a ballet dancer,or any kind of singer or dancer.I can’t ride a bullor shoe a horse.Play football, baseball, soccer, ice hockey…You get the idea.But.Everyone can be who theyContinue reading “October 22, 2024 – A”
