Random Awesomeness

Announcements, rants, affirmations and all else that doesn’t quite fit into the other categories are posted here. From poetry that probably won’t be made into a song, to in-the-moment expressions of thoughts and feelings that probably won’t make it into a story. I will share here, whatever comes to mind and heart. Occasionally, I also may take creative writing pieces from my past, revise and revive them to post here.

8/15/18: These Things

One of these things is not like the others, One of these things just doesn't belong, Can you tell which thing is not like the others By the time I finish my song? ----- Joe Raposo, John Stone and Bruce Heart ----------------------------------------------------- We walk among these things. These things presented as great art. It's a [...]

8/14/18: Naked Logic

While preachers preach of evil fates Teachers teach that knowledge waits Can lead to hundred-dollar plates Goodness hides behind it's gates But even the president of the United States Sometimes must have to stand naked ------ Bob Dylan ------------------------------------------------- "Take your clothes off." "Excuse me?" "I'm naked." "I can see that. So what?" "So take [...]

8/2/18: Sure, Not

I know we've come a long way We're changing day to day But tell me, where do the children play? ------ Cat Stevens No answers, only questions. More and more questions. Certainty is now the enemy, and truth (or even speculation) becomes a political position. Thus all ideas fail to fully come to market, mincing [...]

7/16/18: A Right to Privacy.

As an artist, I am moved to express what I feel inside. As a human being, I am asked to honor my connection to others. As a member of a society, I am told to be aware of difference. As an individual among many... I am. --------------------- I am contemplating all that has happened recently. [...]

7/7/18: My Net Neutrality

Ever since I started this blog my dear reader, (October 8th, 2017)... I've been a bit conflicted about how I want to use the other aspects of my so-called "internet presence". I hadn't really thought about it much, before now. Since the early days, I've been just doing whatever came to mind. I'd occasionally get [...]

6/28/18 On Relationship (Part one, Online #$%#@!&… )

My therapist recently asked me what a healthy relationship would look like in my eyes. Ha! Do I have a frame of reference? How would I know what one of these things looked like if I've never HAD one? Very soon, I'll be coming to the end of a very disappointing year of paying for [...]

6/27/18: The Morning Practice (The Other, This… That!)

That this is the other thing. This that is all there is. Is THAT all there is? ------ So, my dear reader (you still there?) as of yesterday's post, I am now done with what I've been writing under the working title of... Predators and Scammers and now, it's time for the editing. YEA! Please [...]

5/4/18: Obeisant Anesthetic

I love the movies. Movies are of this world and yet I become immersed in another. An other, entirely created world. Bound only by imagination, movies take me where I had no idea. I had no idea I could go. There. Anything can be shown in movies now. The impossible is made to look real. [...]
