I dance. We dance. This body resistance. This old man in my sea. This silent stranger that speaks more with silence than all words. In youth the old man sleeps. In mid life the old man rouses my attention. This body resistance is my inner earth, my gravity. My soul lites as moths to the [...]

Oh wistful night of a million suns. Spawn dancing shadows from nameless orbs. Through stellar darkness light years are thrown. Perchance dark grace our sun or moon And primal night fire my heart drum. Oh wistful thoughts of a million souls Spawn dancing shadows from nameless histories.

Gathering together within we move sometimes apart, sometimes mingled but always we move together. We who are not yet the murmur of leave’s praise for wind or morning shadows setting the world afire with renewed hope. We who dance together silently with words filling the night with songs.

An acquaintance of mine told me several years ago that the Republicans passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Being from Louisiana, I thought that was not the way I remembered it. I was 8 at the time so I thought I would go back and look at the historic data. On face value he [...]

Did I tell you I bought a sailboat? Did I tell you I live in Caribbean night? Adrift, enveloped By big bosomed women. Inviting, beautiful. Women that do not know my name And invite me to do the same. Adrift, enveloped By dark tropical seas. Inviting, beautiful Seas that do not know my name And [...]

In this case, evil is not meant in the sense of religious evil or theistic evil but in a humanitarian sense. Religion and God(s) have always found a way to justify war. War is evil because it is not a zero sum game. Only those that have emotional distance from war can treat it like [...]

What is it we do not like about Marxism? Is it the lack of motivation to create real value? What is the practical difference between a government based economy and a credit based economy?
