When it comes to food water and shelter there are advantages to those things being guaranteed to the highest degree of certainty. When any one of these are removed, particularly from a large population, the degree of chaos rises in the community with a high degree of certainty.

Charles,
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you Friday night. Seeing someone with the same 1970's ethos survived the 1980's, 1980's, 1990's, and has not been shot by "Sister Sarah" for such radical thoughts proves there is hope for the rest of us.
Pls let me know if you need assistance forming the not-for-profit income tax exempt Florida Corporation. Over the last 30+ yrs, I have formed just a few.

Wallace, and all the folks I saw Friday night. It was a pleasure to see you and share this time of our lives. These days in front of us are the days wonder and days of light that the songs and spirit we cried about as children were inspired by. They are coming into play on our watch.
ReplyDeleteWally, I have lots of questions.
Are you available for coffee this week. anybody else?
The Tahitian Inn or Starbucks, Azeele and Dale Mabry, both are on my daily schedule.
though it may seem we are alone there are millions whose voices that can not be heard crying that we find the strength to speak their plight.. not sure but someone must have said that.

ReplyDelete(by Walt Whitman)
love the earth the sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in is words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.
