Working . . .


Two hour aloe baths run by James
He answers the telephone when it rings
Dinner and caviar in the sun or rain
The glass and mimosa trees make it all the same
Four vintage autos
Summer house and a private plane
So much to desire
Would be nice but you won't hear me complain

I'll keep on working
Working that's how my life has got to be
I'll keep on working that's how it must be for me
I'll keep on working
Working until my work's all through
To be with you
To be with you

It's off to Ibiza now for a weekend fling
To have the ability to do these things
Italian designer names in my sleeves and cuffs
In spite of such easy means life can be so tough
Four vintage autos
Summer house and a private plane
So much to desire
Would be nice but you won't hear me complain

I'll keep on working
Working that's how my life has got to be
I'll keep on working that's how it must be for me
I'll keep on working
Working until my work's all through
To be with you
To be with you

But one mane's treasure is not to all the same
These things of value like prizes in some game

Do you think the measure of any man should be
How much and how man things he as materially
What price for your sanity how much will you pay
Will these things be here awhile will they fade away
Four vintage autos
Summer house and a private plane
So much to desire
Would be nice but you won't hear me complain

I'll keep on working
Working that's how my life has got to be
I'll keep on working that's how it must be for me
I'll keep on working
Working until my work's all through
To be with you
To be with you

Image . . .



(from https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/3956.Christopher_Hitchens)
"God did not create man in his own image. Evidently, it was quite the other way about, which is the painless explanation for the profusion of gods and religions, and the fratricide both between and among faiths, that we see all about us and that has so retarded the development of civilization."

Listen . . .


. . . to Grandpa . . .



(from https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/wwii-vet-97-took-knee-support-nfl-protests-photo-goes-n804576)
". . . The photo of a 97-year-old WWII veteran kneeling in solidarity to show support for protesting football players has gone viral on Twitter. . . . Brennan Gilmore posted the photo of his grandfather, John Middlemas, around 7:30 a.m. Sunday before National Football League players knelt during the national anthem. . . “My grandpa is a 97-year-old WWII vet & Missouri farmer who wanted to join (with) those who #TakeaKnee: ‘those kids have every right to protest,’” Gilmore wrote as a caption on the tweet. . . “Grandpa has really been an ally to the civil rights movement for many years. He’s an amazing man always on the side of justice.” . . . Gilmore and his grandfather were discussing the recent comments Trump made against NFL athletes when he decided to share the message, he told NBC news. . . Middlemas is a Christian who has always valued social justice, Gilmore said, and taught his family about leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. . ."

Modern. . .

. . . times . . .



I am finally entering the 21st century with regard to my reading habits by accepting the wonderful gift of (without any shameless promotion) an 'e-reader'. I knew that it was inevitable and only a matter of time;  a time which has now come. The prospect of reducing the presence of physical 'things' in the house is definitely a concern for the future and now I have taken one giant leap in that direction. It is a somewhat satisfying feeling making such a major change to one's habits dispensing with the archaic and embracing technology and its many benefits.  On the other hand, the regular usage of a laptop and cell phone (now combined with the reader) gives me a sneaking suspicion that, with all the electronic options for scheduling, documenting and communicating that are now available to me (in great abundance) I may be moving too quickly in the other direction.

Live . . .

. . . recording of OHO's original song Plunge . . .



At heaven's door we pick the lock
When all we had to do was knock
Though Alice she rattles her train of chains
The fetters are inward all the same

Take a look as you fall
Passing through another wall
Here is where the corn is cut
The wind comes down
Get off the pot
Get off the pot
Get off the pot

It's your world the way that you live
Eats the smile right off your face        
You're not in Kansas anymore
I am the sheath I cry for more

Biding trends and waves of shock
The turbulence it turns me on
Nonetheless we're born and rocked
By divas, drunks and Barbie dolls

I signed up for high-wired acts
If I lose my balance just cut me some slack
I'm holding out for what can be
Emc squared possibility

Experience to be alive
The abstract now is literalized
You have dreams and nightmares to explore
Get the goods
Get off the floor
Get off the floor
Get off the floor


Plunge

Nature . . .

. . . cannot be changed . . .



(from John Adams by David McCullough)
". . . To Adams nothing had changed about human nature since the time of trhe ancients. Inequities within society were inevitable, no matter the political order. Human beings were capable of great good, but also great evil. Thus it had always been and thus it would ever be. He quoted Rousseau's description of th "that hideous sight, the human heart," and recounted that even Dr. Priestley had said that such were the weaknesses and folly of men, "their love of domination, selfishness, and depravity," that none could be elevated above others without risk of danger. . . How he wished it were not so, Adams wrote. Thucydides had said the source of all evils was "a thirst of power, from rapacious and ambitious passions," and Adams agreed. . ."
