About Me |
|
| "To maintain a belief while refusing to give due weight to reasonable and relevant objections is to show that you are more concerned to maintain that belief than really to know whether it or some other is, after all, true." ~ Humanist philospher Professor Anthony Flew~ I am a sedulous seeker; a bohemian intellectual on a quest to free my spirit in order to find my soul.
"The term 'Bohemian' has come to be very commonly accepted in our day as the description of a certain kind of literary gypsy, no matter in what language he speaks, or what city he inhabits .... A Bohemian is simply an artist or littérateur who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art." (Westminster Review, 1862)I am an avid reader and one of my favorite quotes is from the works of Gandhi: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever." In 1933, Django Reinhardt was playing in Paris at the Hotel Claridge. Then later the Quinette of the Hot Club played all over Europe until the war broke out in 1939 and Django returned to Paris. |

"Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge." ~Alfred North Whitehead~ "...The greatest bulwark of capitalism is militarism." ~~Emma Goldman~~ From: The Anarchist Encyclopedia: A Gallery of Saints & Sinners When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. ~Jimi Hendrix~ |

I'd like to meet:The creative, the artistic, the painters of words, anyone passionate in their beliefs, the champions of great causes, people with open minds, and anyone courageous enough to live their ideology; especially the beacon lighthouses of humanity and those that give hope to the oppressed.I am a firm believer of the arts and the inherit knowledge of the creative process. Art transcends the human consciousness, deceives the ego and liberates the soul. Through art, life becomes frozen movements in time; immortalized eterinity. As Eckart Tolles writes in the Power of Now, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience." I believe the beauty between each of us is the ultimate art form; to love, to be human. "Love must be the mother of the arts, not architecture, not structure, not function. True art always involves the observer in the participatory gesture of being, or what we call love." ~Adi Da Samraj~ Poets, writers, artist, humanist, compassionate hearts and leaders, who as Dr. Angelou says, "enliven their creative voices...to try to create a love...a climate where, you belong to everybody and every body belongs to you". ~To Music by Rainer Maria Rilke~Music: breathing of statues. Perhaps: silence of paintings. You language where all language ends. You time standing vertically on the motion of mortal hearts.Feelings for whom? O you the transformation of feelings into what?-: into audible landscape. You stranger: music. You heart-space grown out of us. The deepest space in us, which, rising above us, forces its way out,- holy departure: when the innermost point in us stands outside, as the most practiced distance, as the other side of the air: pure, boundless, no longer habitable.Translated by Stephen Mitchell Featured Artist "Eve of Destruction" is a protest song written by P.F. Sloan in 1965. Several artists have recorded it, but the best-known recording was by Barry McGuire. Political influence: "Eve of Destruction" was used as a rallying cry by supporters of the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which changed the voting age from 21 to 18. DISSENT MAGAZINE “Political dissension is doubtless a less evil than the lethargy of despotism: but still it is a great evil, and it would be as worthy the efforts of the patriot as of the philosopher, to exclude it’s influence if possible, from social life. The good are rare enough at best. There is no reason to subdivide them by artificial lines. But whether we shall ever be able so far to perfect the principles of society as that political opinions shall, in it’s intercourse, be as inoffensive as those of philosophy, mechanics, or any other, may well be doubted.” ~Thomas Jefferson~Source: The Thomas Jefferson Library TJ to Thomas Pinckney, 29 May 1797 Rebels With A Cause
Listen to Jack Kerouac speak. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The introduction of a new kind of music must be shunned as imperiling the whole state, for styles of music are never disturbed without affecting the most important political institutions ...The new style, gradually gaining a lodgement, quietly insinuates itself into manners and customs, and there it...goes on to attack laws and constitutions, displaying the utmost impudence, until it ends by overturning everything.Plato Republic ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 1930's was the extreme opposite of the greedy hoarding monopolies and flaunting flash of the previous decade of the "Glided Age". In this decade, the "gliding" was that of the Dust Bowl; reflections of everything parishable in the vastness of a "wasteland". Y. P. Harburg and Jay Gory revealed this plight with
Brother Can You Spare a Dime . (Harburg has said of his narrator in that play, that he isn't bitter, "He's bewildered. Here is a man who had built his faith and hope in this country. . . . Then came the crash. Now he can't accept the fact that the bubble has burst. He still believes. He still has faith. He just doesn't understand what could have happened to make everything go so wrong" (quoted in 1971, Green 69)."It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution
before tomorrow morning." ~Henry Ford~ |

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." "The War Prayer," a short story or prose poem by Mark Twain, is a scathing indictment of war, and particularly of blind patriotic and religious fervor as motivations for war.
