Isn’t prevention merely a deception? Doesn’t it mean there is only a delay?
The hard truth is WE WILL ALL DIE most by disease. What’s the big deal? Get ready for it. Don’t panic. Be calm.
The music track below will not be for everyone. And there were several tracks I considered by this artist. Diamanda Galas with here 7 octave voice in her track “This Is The Law Of The Plague” from her PLAGUE MASS recording is a haunting experience worth listening to. She “shreds” the voice like a guitar player will “shred” guitar. Let it move you.

Everyone is looking for a cure. But will that be enough? Aren’t we often addicted to our suffering? Isn’t suffering more exciting and newsworthy than a cure?
corona virus don’t panic
A brand new image.
If this Corona Virus will teach us anything – it is that when it comes to human experience – the best of all possible futures is a dystopia for the majority and a utopia for the minority of survivors. That said, I prefer to think of the future as not written in stone. I like Bob Marley’s sound advice
“…don’t worry about a thing, ’cause everything’s gonna be alright”
and Michael Franti – don’t panic – Stay Human – spend less time looking suspiciously at each other and more time looking out FOR each other.

Due to the Coronavirus “madness” that has gripped the world – This image is one of several images I will be reposting selected creations of my “MESSAGES FROM THE FUTURE” series from 2012/2013. Do you really believe what you hear? Did you ever consider there may be another message?
Just some stuff to think about.
Coronavirus 2020
Due to the Coronavirus “madness” that has gripped the world – This image is the first of several images I will be reposting selected creations of my “MESSAGES FROM THE FUTURE” series from 2012/2013. The madness starts with the news media.
The clip below from Monty Python’s Holy Grail seems fitting since this coronavirus pandemic is being treated like the “black death” of the middle ages. Just some stuff to think about.
I urge caution and calm when the media would have us PANIC!

inspired by ECM
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I have long been inspired not only by the music but by the graphic design and album art on Manfred Eicher’s ECM music label.
Here is my latest in a long running series of imaginary albums. And yes everything is imagined; the title, the group, the musicians, the song titles etc.
Below are the original photo followed by front and back covers respectively. How do you imagine it sounds?
4 haiku on death by suicide
Living, one’s own terms
no judgement for suicide
Dying, ones own terms
********************
Sweet Sweet Suicide
The last exit from life’s stage
Stigmata of choice
********************
On a high blue bridge
She jumps, flying toward the earth
Releasing all cares
********************
It takes great courage
To take the reigns of death
There’s no mortal sin

uplifting music for troubled times ~ part 1
I’ve recently noticed that the times we are living in are not unlike the late 60’s early 70’s with cultural and political unrest, deep division and social dysfunction. I’ve also noticed that there is some incredibly inspired music that is made during troubled times. So go ahead and get your uplift on and let the sun shine in. Sunshine is the protest against darkness.
Enjoy this classic from the musical HAIR performed here by the 5th Dimension.

even more haiku on lightning, rain & thunder
Weathers town crier
Thunders crashing box of rocks
announces the rain.

The pink noise of rain
With distant lightnings white noise
A cool breeze for sleep
*******
Music in the night
This ambient symphony
A chorus of rain
3 more haiku on lightning & storms
Restless dreams at night
Toss’d ’bout on flashes of light
Ships on stormy seas

A thunder not heard
The storm can’t hide its approach
Bright lightning flashes

The quiet of night
Static on the radio
The rain comes lightly
3 haiku on lightning
Across the night sky
A visual symphony
Heat lightning flashes

Disturbing the night
Punctuating the darkness
Heat lightning dances

Dark blanket of Night
Heavens dome with light flashes
White doves in dark skies
A field of Goldenrod
edible flowers and leaves – great for tea, garnish, or salads.
