Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks.
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way.
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles –
and rocky sure-foot trails.
The worlds like an endless
four-dimensional
Game of Go.
ants and pebbles
In the thin loam, each rock a word
a creek-washed stone
Granite: ingrained
with torment of fire and weight
Crystal and sediment linked hot
all change, in thoughts,
As well as things.
Gary Snyder
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
— BY THEODORE ROETHKE
The scientists are in terror
and the European mind stops
Wyndham Lewis chose blindness
rather than have his mind stop.
Night under wind mid garofani,
the petals are almost still
Mozart, Linnaeus, Sulmona,
When one’s friends hate each other
how can there be peace in the world?
Their asperities diverted me in my green time.
A blown husk that is finished
but the light sings eternal
a pale flare over marshes
where the salt hay whispers to tide’s change
Time, space,
neither life nor death is the answer.
And of man seeking good,
doing evil.
In meiner Heimat
where the dead walked
and the living were made of cardboard.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o’clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
— Eliot
I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.
My tongue, every atom of my blood, form’d from this soil, this
air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their
parents the same,
I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
— Walt Whitman

Well, as they say in Minneso-o-o-ta, “Well, OK then.” Unfortunately too many of these mentally defective people are in charge of things they shouldn’t be in charge of….like state governments (California)… and are ensconced deeply in the federal bureaucracy.
Your new web site is gorgeous
I wonder if any of these kids will see themselves in this video and experience a wakeup call? Unlikely, probably, but it would be pretty shocking to see yourself this way and discover how alarmingly accurate the voiceover is. Of course, most of these people (trigglypuff, for instance) will just attack the editor for noticing.
I know it is not nice to laugh at the mentally ill and i probably will go to hell for laughing at trigglypuff every time i see it perform but there are a lot of Trigglys counterparts out there being used by the violent left.
I like the new site, it loads faster and easier to navigate but i miss the intro pictures that accompanied the articles
Free speech is our right.
We will not comply and you
cannot silence us.

Congrats on the new look. This video is sadly, hilariously depressing. I watched it twice.
What some decent citizen (there by relieving myself of the responsibility) should do is start to do is document this and send physical copies of everything to
The CEO
The Chief Legal Counsel
The Head of Human Resources
The Chief Investment officer (/treasurer etc etc)
And ask:
Are you sure you want to take the known risk of hiring this person.
And follow it up.
These future Chief Diversity Officers and SVPs of Human Resources will do just fine.
