    PIONEERING OVER FIVE EPOCHS

    A. MY TYPE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING

    1. Everything I do with other people online is part of my particular type of social networking. My social networking is associated with three basic activities: (a) the creation of a personal webpage that serves as a home base, a central hub, for my writing, for teaching and consolidation, for service and social activism, as well as for feedback from others---should they wish; (b) the creation of a detailed ...

  2. Under Cerulean Lamps

    Stretches out in miles
    like on phosphorous
    like on clay
    between thumbs
    between palms
    and other limbs
    I am dancing
    with a whole lot of air

    as a helium tribe
    I censor gravity
    like a clay tribe
    I defy erosion
    I am rock
    bedded into soil
    I am plant
    that is bedded into roots

  3. Franz Schubert's Wintereise: A Masterpiece of Song



    Franz Schubert's early death at age 31 may have been the greatest loss in classical music... even greater than the premature death of Mozart.

    French Mélodies Part 2: Gérard Souzay

    My preference has long been for female singers... at least when dealing with the repertoire of the French Mélodies.

  5. Smoke of fantasies to lay down the burden

    by , 01-07-2010 at 04:19 AM (Unshackling the feelings)
    Alcohol runs in the blood,
    And permeats in labyrinthine veins
    To fantasize the brain,
    But the problems persist within --
    Uncared and untouched!

    The sleeping burdens crawl inside,
    And the numb skin senses the cold floor,
    As the smoke of ecstasies disappear,
    While the unchanged reality manifest
    The unsympathetic truth!
