Even More . . .

. . . hours

An idea is conceived
Amid so much 'who knows what'
Whether forced
Or just flowing
Bringing contentment

Then building upon
That initial idea
With a flourish
Or lyrical twist
That you hear
Gives a character to it
And promotes growth
Not unlike raising a child
Or meeting the love
Of your life


The Hours

In progress with Jay Graboski and Dave Kelly

Express . . .



“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.”
— Victor Hugo

"One good thing about music: when it hits you, you feel no pain."
– Bob Marley

"I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me, like food or water."
– Ray Charles

"Music is a world within itself, it is a language we all understand."
– Stevie Wonder

"When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air. You can never capture it again."
-Eric Dolphy

"I say, play your own way. Don't play what the public want - you play what you want and let the public pick up on what you doing - even if it does take them fifteen, twenty years."
-Thelonious Monk

Face . . .

. . . it, we ALL would really be better off . . .


(from http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/democratic-bill-lays-groundwork-remove-trump-office-n779171)". . . House Democrats are on a mission to educate the American people about a little-known power of the 25th Amendment — the ousting of the president.

Led by freshman Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a group of growing Democratic co-signers has put forth a bill that could force President Donald Trump from office if he were found mentally or physically unfit.

Although it was introduced in April, the bill has gained steam in the past week as Trump's tweet storms have grown in ferocity.

"Given Donald Trump's continued erratic and baffling behavior, is it any wonder why we need to pursue this legislation?" asked Rep. Darren Soto, D-Florida, a co-signer. "The mental and physical health of the leader of the United States and the free world is a matter of great public concern."

If successful, the law would create an 11-member bipartisan commission known as the Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity, which would medically examine the president and evaluate his mental and physical faculties.

Rankin hopes to take advantage of Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which allows the vice president to remove the president if he or she has the consent of the majority of the Cabinet or "such other body as Congress," if they believe he cannot "discharge the powers and duties of the office." If all goes according to plan, the bipartisan commission could provide that consent after a medical examination of the president. . ."

Dread . . .



. . .  creeps up from behind
Overshadowing my customary optimistic demeanor.
It's a surprisingly potent force
Wielding power far exceeding that possessed by mere men.
A knot in the stomach causing uneasy nights
Turns to worry and preoccupation with situations indescribeable
Yet very real and yes very possible.
But are they probable? Maybe.
And are they really bigger than me?
Fact is, they do originate with mere men.
The voice of reason from the lips of angel
Reassures me that no matter what that dark force brings
It cannot destroy what we, the angel and I,
Have built together.
So forward I go.

Elections . . .

. . . in Syria??
 “Force is all conquering, but it's victories are short lived.”
― Abraham Lincoln 

“Peace cannot be kept by force; it can only be achieved by understanding.”
― Albert Einstein

"Non-violence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man."
Mahatma Gandhi

“I was not designed to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.”
― Henry David Thoreau

“In the present case it is a little inaccurate to say I hate everything. I am strongly in favor of common sense, common honesty and common decency. This makes me forever ineligible to any public office of trust or profit in the Republic. But I do not repine, for I am a subject of it only by force of arms.”
― H.L. Mencken

“. . . the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.
― Karl Popper

“I find I am much prouder of the victory I obtain over myself, when, in the very ardor of dispute, I make myself submit to my adversary’s force of reason, than I am pleased with the victory I obtain over him through his weakness.”
― Michel de Montaigne

“Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know more.”
― Confucius
