Harlem

A shot of the famous Apollo Theater, where Jimi Hendrix and a young Michael Jackson performed. Story has it that MJ was terribly nervous about going onstage to the point of trying to back out because audiences were known to be quite hard on anyone they didn't like: Boo shouts, things thrown, chairs...

No News is Good News?

Got lost in the Bronx, trying to find the right highway to NY Presby. Hospital. I saw the high rise housing projects I had read about years ago - how barrenly mud-colored and grim they looked in the early sun rays..I had seen other public housing in the city but they didn't appear as hopeless...

Finally, finally, must face the mirror of who I am...

No getting around it - I am a muckraker, a rebel with causeS, a hippie with more long hair than I can control, haha and a soul possessing an unintended knack for pi$*&ing off people...Oh well, beats keeping my mouth zipped - or burying my passions in a graveyard never visited..

Wow, Look at This - Powerful, Wise and True!

Continuing on the democracy versus theocracy debate, I came across this amazing quote by Benjamin Franklin: "When a religion is good, I conceive it will support itself; and when it does not support itself so that its professors are obliged to call for the help of the civil power, 'tis a sign, I...

Early Farewell

Big THANK YOU'S, much love & many Hugs to All the Kind and Caring Souls who have commented on my recent "dark" posts. I have read your words and re-read, been enlightened, buoyed and so deeply touched... Preparing for this huge trip to NYC is hampered by a bad cold I've been fighting which of course...

Destiny's Course - NYC Bound!

I illusioned being a stage actress since I was young girl writing and constructing plays out of a wild imagination, discarded appliance boxes for the stage and scenery and a gang of neighborhood ruffians, self included, lol - later, dreamt on or off Broadway, New York City, roles in which to feed my...

Mirror Lessons

Heavy hair I possess, now falling past my midsection - becomes tangled too easily, no matter my efforts..and oh, let a night go by without the brushing ritual; sleep doesn't always wait when I've worked harder than usual and the morning is a pain in the rear - or thereabouts...yeow, the yanking,...

Farewell

My Father, God rest his soul, was a Brave in the fullest depth of truth - he fought young and ignorant of the reasons for the militaristic actions he signed on to in the Korean conflict; a blind patriot who gained sight through the wrenching season of disillusionment and regret later.
