[Note to my 'note' yesterday- To be clear, the 'break' that I am taking is from daily blog postings. I will, in all likelihood, continue posting things as the spirit moves. Here's hoping you'll stay with me and as always, please let me know what's on YOUR mind. Please don't stop listening to the music! Ciao.]

. . . There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.
- Brene Brown

(from Harpo Speaks by Harpo Marx)

". . . Being at liberty again, I gave this serious consideration. I asked Chico what he could do to break me into his field. I couldn't have asked him at a better time. He was then working at a beer garden in Yorkville but he had just been asked to play in a nickelodeon across that street, where the piano player, a kid named George Gershwin, had been fired because customers complained his music hurt their ears. . .

[Note: this will be my penultimate blog, for now. After 12 years of daily consecutive blogging, I intend to take a break, take stock, catch up on other things, and then who knows what?}

(from Harpo Speaks by Harpo Marx)
". . . It was all part of the endless fight for recognition of foreigners in the process of becoming Americans. Every Irish kid who made a Jewish kid knock under was made to say "Uncle" by an Italian, who got his lumps from a German kid, who got his insides kicked out by his old man for street fighting and then went out and beat up an Irish kid to heal his wounds. "I'll teach you!" was the threat they passed along, Irish to Jew to Italian to German. Everybody was trying to teach everybody else, all down the line. This is still what I think of when I hear the term "progressive education." . . . "

With Mirrors . . .

https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/smoke-and-mirrors

Can you hear all that I say

Beneath all clever wordplay?

Don’t think that I’m insulting you

That I don’t want your point of view

Working from limited base

So easily losing your place

Why feign a blatant expertise

With no obvious philosophies?

Do you know

What you want

To accomplish here?

Will you go

To the length you say you will

Or is this just all

Smoke and mirrors?

You may just set precedent

with every signal you’ve sent

Why don’t you learn the protocol

To no longer suffer this at all

Say what you mean if you mean it

Do what you feel in your heart

Make it real when you’re speaking your mind

Impressions churning and spray

Like repairs flowing away

Pushing downstream ferociously

Uprooting each obstacle you see

Consciousness . . .

. . . of stream

Phttps://dnr.maryland.gov/streams/Pages/OurMDStreams.aspx

Positivity to temper, accompany, and inundate the empty hours; facilitating a transcendence from this mere mortal coil with all its toil, trouble and injustice.
