Eating . . .


. . . at your wagon-wheel dining table was an experience
I must admit
It was striking
It was lovely
But the dining was challenging
A bit

And not only were we nourished
By the delicacies you prepared
We learned some things of life
During the meal that we shared

Not all on this earth are equal
Some have much
Others are poor
Like the diners at your table
Who ate well
While some like me
Found their food fell to the floor

Marching . . .

. . . onward . . .


I had the pleasure to add a piano melody to this movement from Jay's 'Ahora' suite, which is creatively simmering to perfection under his watchful eye (and ears).  With some motivation ("What's my motivation Mr. DeMille?") and the free time to devote one's undivided attention without the pressure of other commitments, the process of feeling the music and using one's imagination to add a melody that positively supplements the beauty of the basic music is at the same time intriguing, challenging, gratifying . . . and fun!

Civility . . .


So Petrov says he has nothing against gay people.  Two cabinet ministers and his very own cousin are actually gay.  But he will not abolish the anti-gay law because of the people and their religious beliefs. Is this REALLY why he will not abolish the anti-gay law?

So while Clare is resting in Michael's cell, she has had an arduous day, she falls asleep.  As Michael wrestles with all the facets of his actions and the repercussions upon his loved ones he obviously finds them too much with which to cope.  He takes Clare's scarf and hangs himself from the prison bars in the window of the cell.

As the somber U.S. and Russian Presidents gather to announce their progress in peace talks, and sadly too, Michael's death, they allow Clare (who made the trip as representative of the United Nations) to make the announcement of the latter.  After the 'proper' announcement, Clare takes a pregnant pause and lets Petrov have it challenging him to abolish this 'stupid law' to the astonishment of everyone.

Petrov, of course, denounces the peace plan.

Was Clare correct in speaking her mind to the press and the public about what she felt was an injustice resulting from ignorance or narrow-mindedness, or should she have simply SHUT her mouth?

(based on House of Cards, season #3)
