| I found this in an old box that has been sitting unopened for 15 years. There were some interesting darkroom equipment in it and a lot of old letters One was a folded orange with adolesent handwriting on it, all printed words all lower case The one that struck me is #35 "... i guess freedom freedom is simply being able to chose your own kind of cage..." written in the mid-seventies by someone at Oak Ridge High school | | |
| There is a force calling me back
Is it just an automated, self-serving message-- or is it here at this time in my life for another, higher reason?

The call goes out to all, and a few, the few respond, because of some
need in them, something triggered by even self-serving auto-bots.

Ok, so the other day I wrote a poem in Spanish
It may sound a bit odd, since I don't really know Spanish.
It may also seem odd because I do know a couple of other languages well enough to write a poem in them.

So, without further ado....
la lluvia
ha lavado todo el fealdad del aire,
el polvo
sucio caliente de un verano de la vida...

en la obscuridad, el frío se ha apresurado rápidamente adentro...

y ha
comenzado a pensar que la luz del sol nunca fallará ,
y que el
invierno se había convertido en un perro sin dientes,
"¡Despierte!"
ella cuelga la palabra en el aire frío, "Estoy aquí...."

extension of August; short sleeves and shorts and not one jacket pulled
out of storage...
No frost, no snow, most of the leaves still green....

...so along comes a person who, not having invented a theory himself (
or herself) becomes obsessed with the theories of another.
So the student studies every nuance of the theory, and refines his thinking, and becomes an Authority with a capital A.
The personality is quite different that the 'free-thinking' explorer
who came up with the idea-- instead he is dogmatic and inflexible....
