Welcome. What you will find here will be my random thoughts and reactions to various books I have read, films I have watched, and music I have listened to. In addition I may (or may not as the spirit moves me) comment about the fantasy world we call reality, which is far stranger than fiction.

A Minute Meditation
"I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, 'Mother, what was war?'"
-- Eve Merriam, poet and writer (1916-1992) --
Has this ever been better said?
Will this dream ever come true?

yes, the three R's we need to master in order to survive: racism, religion, and responsibility(for the planet)...
