Salubrious . . .

. . . required . . .


Things once all agreed
Nice and neatly to be
Of a sudden turn
Changing unsettlingly
Now a disrupted calm and
A well thought-out plan
That at earlier time
Brought a united stand
Has turned somewhat murky
Casting haze and a greyness
But with time, truly hoping
For comforting stasis

Stakes . . .

(from Joseph and His Brothers by Thomas Mann, translations by John E. Woods)
". . . Jacob's son was almost as weary from standing before Pharoah as he had once been when he had had to play the mute servant  for the old couple in the garden cottage. But young Pharaoh - despite all his tender feelings for gnats, chicks, the little mouse, and the son of the worm - apparently had no sense of this particular problem, for his was a royal and rather forgetful tenderness.  Neither he nor the Mother-Goddess on her high throne even considered - were in fact probably incapable of considering - asking him to take a seat, however much his legs might feel like it and despite several charmingly inviting taborets with which the Cretan loggia was furnished.  It was taxing, but when one knows what is at stake, one gladly puts of with a good many things and stands one's ground - a phrase that has rarely or perhaps never been more apt than on this long-ago occasion. . .

Frustrating. . .

I try so hard (at least by my standards) to watch the calendars of the few artists that I would like to see when they're in town and wouldnchaknowit when I fall down on the job one of my most favorite-est people sneaks up and comes to down TOMORROW night when I can't even MAKE it and just when I've reconciled myself to the fact that I will have to see some of these performers in venues where I will have to stand but I know I can do it to see a really good act because I have done it when I saw Fishbone (twice, actually) and would do it again to see Fishbone and of course would happily and most certainly stand through a show by Ani DiFranco anyday that is anyday that i CAN make it which is not tomorrow because i CAN'T! 

FRUSTRATING!

Now that I am grown up. . .

. . . at least SOMETIMES I feel like I'm grown up . . . 

. . . I need to take a stand on the future of my country.  Even well into adulthood, more politically- vocal elders of mine voiced opinions about 'wasting' a vote or 'throwing away' a vote that would elect 'his' opponent.  Well it's time for principle.  At the core of any political disagreement, it seems that many debaters actually agree on issues like waste in government,  a bloated and expensive campaign process or inequality in one form or another.  And not matter how many good things the current President has accomplished (for those concerned with facts), he could have done much more. Be aware that we also have, in addition to the BIG TWO,  Socialist, Libertarian, Green and Liberty parties involved in the election.  Educate yourself, heaven knows the network news is NOT going to help you out there.  And vote your conscience and your heart.

Ten reasons to vote for Rocky Anderson (Liberty Party):

1. The promotion of the public interest through the defeat of the systemic corruption that has caused massive failures in public policy.
2. An immediate end to the on-going wars.
3. Essential health care coverage for all citizens.
4. Urgent international leadership by the U.S. to prevent against the most catastrophic consequences of climate disruption.
5. Adequate revenues to balance the budget through fair taxation.
6. Treatment of substance abuse as a public health, rather than criminal justice, issue.
7. Control of the Federal Reserve by the Treasury Department and Congress.
8. A balanced budget (or a surplus) except in times of war or major recession.
9. An end to the legal concept of corporate “personhood;” a constitutional amendment to overrule Citizens United.
10. An end to the stranglehold on our government by the military-industrial complex.
