Lighthouse Wife
I married a man of the sea.
Salt lives deep in his bones.
The horizon rests in his eyes

and never fully left behind.They told me the war was over.
The uniform folded.

The world moving forward
as if violence were a season
that knew how to end.But…Read More

Fair play to the U.S of A for giving the world such devastating music (Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, New York Dolls, Blondie are faves), but my beloved nation (er…Wales) has its moments.

It has to taste unsavory indeed. No one wants to be led especially them. ;))

It’s the dangers of being in a herd of hateful bullies…they always want to be the one in charge. And they’re all being played like an organ. Those with any sense of decency are stepping off that fence these days. 🤦♀️

You wrote this so well that it will apply wonderfully to other madmen after the present madmen are gone.

I sometimes wonder who is more mad…the madmen leading or the madmen supporting them? Would the leaders have risen to the top without the ones lifting them up? Aggravating in the extreme. Reasoning has left the room. Thank you, Brandon

There is wonderful quote by Bertolt Brecht that I wish people would sit and ponder on: “Don’t yet rejoice in his defeat, you men! Although the world stood up and stopped the bastard, The bitch that bore him is in heat again.”

It is strange how for some people their desire for easy, quick answer to complex problems fools them until reality sets in and they discover what their lack of understanding smacks them upside the head. I always found this pithy quote from MaoTse tung appropriate: “Nothing is hard in this world if you dare to scale the heights.” -Curt

Failing to look too far down the road will often result in a crash or a near crash. Immediate answers aren’t usually complete. Thank you, Curt

This is the second great piece I’ve read on here today…..perhaps it’s got something to do with a bunny.
