Here is a link to an artist whose work I feel is very important...

Listening to this CD, was like listening to music from the future.

Let me know what you what you think.

British Doctors To Prescribe Arts & Culture to Patients: “The Arts Are Essential to our Health and Wellbeing”

For a long time, I have considered Lewis Lapham to be the voice of America's conscience. On the eve of one of the most important points in the history of the United States, Lapham, former editor of Harpers and now editor of Lapham's Quarterly, has published a searing truth-telling essay entitled, "Of America and the Rise of the Stupified Plutocrat."

Here is the link:

Lewis Lapham: Of America and the Rise of the Stupefied Plutocrat

"Our way of life is incompatible with the continuance of life."

This sums up the important reflections by Kristine Mattis in her article, "Eco Crises: Doom & Gloom, Truth & Consequences."

Yes, this implicates each of us.

LAUGHTER ON THE STREET

They call her Stranger
Not because she is one
She’s well known hereabouts

Stranger

Because

She’d tell a joke and end it
with “there’s no line to punch”
and burst out laughing

Because

She’d start a story and in no time
she’d announce “to be continued”
and burst out laughing

Because

She’d issue commands general like
only to shout “At ease! At ease!”
and burst out laughing

Because

She’d make loud purring sounds
taunting the guys to “Pet me! Pet me!”
and burst out laughing

Curious

I sidled up to her
calling out, “Hi Stranger”
and burst out laughing

Curious

You calling me Stranger mister?
what do they call you?
and she burst out laughing

Curious

“Stranger Still,” I said
smiling as best I could
and burst out laughing

Curious

She laughed and laughed
our eyes meeting there
both laughing and laughing

(to be continued)

To be honest...

I’d rather be

in another time

a different place

somewhere else

than here and now

as things have become

Artificial intelligence

machine learning

deep learning

they cannot do this

Facebook, Twitter,

Instagram, Pinterest

and all the rest

cannot do this for me

This is why I’m eager only

for sleep and the dream’s

transportational realities

reconnecting me nightly

with the soul’s geographies

soul’s time explorations

gifting not with empty hope

but with new eyes, new ears

and curiosity for the new day
