I've been blessed to have been in great company for the past few weeks. I have also entered into community with some world class folks.

A unifying element I see in all: A passion for knowledge. Language, craft, work, family.

Also from a recent show:

Now's the time (to lose credibility?)

Here's some Feist:


Here's some Kanye:


I've been told to write a poem. I've been asked to get "my shit" "together". I've been nurtured. I've been blessed.

I've seen greatness. I've lived. I've cried with remorse. I've been ashamed.

Why all this now?

I set white flowers, burned incense, and played loud loud music. I've fallen in love with a song. I've been forgotten and replaced. I long for.

(Bitterly, goddammit) Here's some Facundo:

I heard a rumor in El Paso Texas, of all places, today that Barack Has Cancer?!?!

Again, to die for an idea. At the end, two lovers kiss as they are set in concrete.

I would need an embrace that I could feel in my entire body, but then again as a great friend once said: "if you are stuck in one room for eternity, it doesn't matter if you have with you one book or a million"

I NEED to read strunk and white.

post-Marlboro thought?

"There is a connection, hard to explain logically but easy to feel, between achievement in public life and progress in the arts. The age of Pericles was also the age of Phidias. The age of Lorenzo de Medici was also the age of "Leonardo da Vinci. The age of Elizabeth also the age of Shakespeare. And the New Frontier for which I campaign in public life, can also be a New Frontier for American art. For what I decry is a lift for our country: a surge of economic growth; a burst of activity in rebuilding and cleansing our cities; a breakthrough of the barriers of racial and religious discrimination; an Age of Discovery in science and space; and an openness toward what is new that will banish the suspicion and misgiving that have tarnished our prestige abroad. I foresee, in short, an American that is moving once again. And in harmony with that creative burst, there is bound to come the New Frontier in the Arts. For we stand, I believe, on the verge of a period of sustained cultural brilliance."
