 Dark Interludes

Facts or fiction. Love will bewitch us.  A old friend of many years send me a letter with kind words of love at a desperate time in my life.  I was dead in heart and mind. Her offered abated me to return to the hopefulness  and the possibility of love. I devoured her words and I felt a wealth of joy being reborned.

Her letter

             Dear Johnnie

I was so glad you came to see me at Eastern Michigan University.  I enjoyed our three days together. Felt like the old days of High School. I loved how you held me without demands. You made me laugh and very content. I have known you for six years now. I know I’m not perfect. I want you to know. I love you. I have always loved you. You have always flattered me with kind and sweet words. You respected…

Once upon a time

I found you at the mall walking and  I kept an distance from you. I was just looking at a sweet dream lost. I wondered did you remember me? We were lovers once and our love wasn’t enough.

I was going to save the world and you were going to because a artist and stand tall for the cause of hope and peace. I remember our long drives to the states borders touching the Michigan lines. Us staying in cheap motels, talking and making love till the morning light. Somehow we knew. Love was just a flicker of a lighter. The flame become hot very quickly and  fade away to taverns tales for drunk men.

For a second I remember your beautiful face and…

Politics is separation
From party to party
From man to man
While spirituality is:
The unity of man, Oneness

With respect, humility, understanding
With honesty and compassion
For all people…

Masterpiece (revisited)

Jemverse

10 of 10 in ‘The Autumn’ series from Jemverse

I stepped inside a masterpiece
with reds and oranges and
yellows liberally added
by Nature’s abstract hand

I didn’t know which way to turn
for there was wonder everywhere
so I simply turned in circles
to absorb the glory there

“He’s our fault—that’s how I see it… We’re the ones who let that happen. We should be looking at ourselves.”

Art of Quotation

Interviewer/Esquire:  Trump is a businessman, but he is such a creature of the entertainment world. It feels that the entertainment industry is more entwined with politics than ever before.

Robert Redford:  “I just think he is who he is. You can’t blame him for being who he is. He’s always been like that.

He’s our fault—that’s how I see it.

We let him come to where he is. I’m not so interested in blaming him; that’s being done enough by others.  I’m more interested in: How did this happen? We’ve lost our moral foundation, which allows us to go this far over. So I don’t blame him. I just think he is what he is.

We’re the ones who let that happen. We should be looking at ourselves.”

“While we’re here, we should try to improve the world.”

Art of Quotation

“I feel like it’s important for the reason I survived to tell the world, to tell the next generation what to look out for to have a better, secure, free life,” he said. “It’s important for them to learn how to behave with other people, with other nations, religions. We’re different, but we’re all human and there is room for each and every one of us in this world. It should be in harmony instead of hatred, racism. … We are all born; we’re all going to go. While we’re here, we should try to improve the world.”
