Saturday Afternoon at the End of the World When I was about 11, in the early 1950’s, I’d be given a couple of quarters, to go spend Saturday Afternoon at the movies. One quarter was for admission, the second was good for popcorn, a soft drink, and a candy bar. For this hard to come […]

Dear Lord, Please Save Us All from “Experts” An expert, in general, is a peculiar type of … of what? They are expected to know what they are talking about. So, in a sense, the expert has/gets to define/represent the area of their expertise. Usually, there is a “field” of interest, in which the expert […]

Anthroposophical Madness*** ***[ Tiger-Saucy, the last fairy teacher of shamans has noted that the Eight Gates of Faerie come in four pairs, one of which is sanity&madness. The other three are: living&dying; remembering&forgetting: and, waking and sleeping. The Egyptian priest spirit-helper reminds me that there is a relationship between these four pairs, and the classical […]

Ordinarily, in the end of winter, March Madness appears. That celebration of college basketball is in public venues and on television. Woven in and around this are NBA games, and then playoffs. All over the world soccer is played again and again, in public venues, and on television. Spring brings professional baseball’s “spring training”. We […]

I had an idea once, not a bad idea so much, as it was an unrealizable idea. I wanted to get to meet either Senator Warren, or Oprah Winfrey. I wanted one of them to call the other, and the two of them – successful women, one black and one white, to act in concert.I […]

I’ve been thinking a bit about the logic of the situation, in the sense of how much truth are we getting. When I was growing up in Montana, around the time of the Korean war, I was taught how to tell if a politician was lying: His mouth is open. The Pentagon Papers established that […]

Faith should be rewarded, and the books below could be called gospels of the second coming, if our Idea […]
