The Breakthrough There is an angel floating by my shoulder whispering as I sleep I can hardly hear it yet I know it's there. These are forces all about our illusion breathing through the ethers they touch our souls they tickle our spirits. God is all around asking...

All the flags are out on many of the homes throughout our nation. The American flag is a wonderful symbol of the fact that we are nation composed of 50 states with a melting pot of too many different cultures to even list. Sadly, our flag has been hijacked by those '...

We used to go walking every AM through our neighborhood. The two of us liked to do a rather ' Brisk Walk' for the 30 minutes we allotted. Well, what transpired was me walking in circles every five or ten minutes as my better half was stooped down petting one of our...

We, in 2026 Amerika, are nothing more than the lyrics to a great song by The Rolling Stones. Jagger lays it all out in this 1968 retort to the evils of this our Amerikan Empire. Did I just say 1968? Imagine dear children, students of mine, how nothing had changed by...

This writer just lost, literally, 'The Love of my life', an Angel I was married to for 33 years. There is nothing anyone can explain as to how deeply saddened one becomes at losing a lover, confidante, companion, sidekick, business partner, and best friend in an eight...

You want to get a real jolt of R&B energy just put on the 1965 hit by Martha and the Vandellas 'Nowhere to Run'. What instills my hope in the magic of Karma (What you sow ye shall reap) is watching this Trainwreck of a President and his regime operate. I should go...

They do walk amongst us, the Angels. In human form we can see them as the nurse who cares for the sick and dying with such compassion. The first provider who rescues the drowning survivor or trapped traveler. There are more of them than we ever recognize, these...

There was a line from the great 1970 film I Never Sang For My Father that captures what this writer is experiencing at this moment. That powerful and timeless sentence is "Death does not end a relationship." So it is with the true love of my life, Stacy Lynn, who...

When I just notified one of my oldest friends, Joe, he said it best: "There is no death. It's a transition." At 7:01 AM this morning my best friend, intimate and business partner, Stacy Lynn, transitioned. We knew that this was approaching, more intensely this past...

Webster's defines caring as 'Displaying kindness and concern for others'. How well put that is. Funny how poets, philosophers and religious and spiritual teachers always mention LOVE as the glue that binds us... and it should. Yet, to this writer the essential word...

There is love. Sometimes powerful as a wonderful sunrise. Sometimes on a vacation from the two of you. Yet, it never leaves for good, even as the doorway to heaven awaits one of you. Remarkable thing this Love. How transcendent, how forever it can be. No scientific...

Those who call themselves Christians should take heed and digest what their Bible had forecast: 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 – “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of...

For those of us not around in December of 1941, our American History books made sure to include FDR’s famous speech to the Congress and nation in the aftermath of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He called December 7th, 1941 ‘A day of infamy’ … and it sure was....

It is a logistical shame that Trump and his Cabal did not wait less than three weeks before attacking Iran. Remember that March 19th of 2003 was the quintessential moment since LBJ made Vietnam the new WW3. Funny ( not really) how regimes like Bush/Cheney and...

Millions of American baby boomers grew up watching The Three Stooges comedy shows on our little black and white televisions. Matter of fact, along with The Soupy Sales show, the stooges became a must see for many adults as time went on. The pub down the street from...

There are puffy clouds called people that float through your sky of life. Some are so cottony white, some are dark and filled with lightening and rain. Others are almost translucent, allowing you to look beyond into heaven above. That one was my Aunt Suzie. A bit...

John Sayles wrote and directed the blockbuster 1987 film Matewan, about the 1920 'Battle of Matewan'. This was centered around the Matewan ,West Virginia coal miner's strike that saw scores of people left dead. Fast forward 115 years to Minneapolis, Minnesota. On the...

Just watched  the late Rob Reiner's 1996 film Ghosts of Mississippi for the umpteenth time. The movie, based on a true story, covers the 1989 retrial of the killer of civil rights leader Medgar Evers, one Byron De La Beckwith. The assassination of Evers by Beckwith...

Rock artist Phil Collins put it succinctly in his major hit song " I Don't Care Anymore': Hey, I'll do alright by myself 'Cause I don't 'Cause I remember all the times I tried so hard And you laughed in my face 'cause you held the cards I don't care anymore And I...

We first have to understand, in a darkly humorous way, just how far down the rabbit hole the Trump Regime has fallen. I take it back, it is NOT so humorous at all folks! Looking how 'Life imitates art' we  should watch Don Siegel's 1956 film Invasion of the Body...

It was '85 and this writer had been divorced for going on four years. I had my two young sons, 10 and 7, living with their mom and her boyfriend in Canarsie Brooklyn. I lived in this quaint attic apartment a half hour away from them in Elmont, Long Island, not too far...

Chris Hedges just wrote a powerful column on the great Scheerpost site entitled Grand Illusion. He calls America, our nation, a dying empire, similar to what transpired in most past empires. He mentions the vast Roman Empire and the 20th century Nazi Germany one. The...

We have always lived in a society that hinders mental health care instead of enabling it. Now, this writer is surely not a psychiatrist, but I did spend a night in a Holiday Inn Express. My experiences as a patient of Freudian psychoanalysis  40 years ago taught me,...
