Excerpt From W.H. Auden's "September 1, 1939"
"All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die."
Hello fellow bloggers.... May I ask you, "what is our response to the darkness and alienation in this present world?"

Attention all culture builders: Pick up your hammers and saws
08:21:10 am, Categories: Koinonia A great literary figure and scholar named Kenneth Burke wrote the following:
"And in this staggering disproportion between man and no-man, there is
no place for purely human boasts of grandeur, or for forgetting that
men build their cultures by huddling together, nervously loquacious,
at the edge of an abyss."

A quiet heart is hard to maintain these days, particularly if you're among the many who live in the cities and suburbs. When you visit my blog, why not take a little time to breathe deeply and linger over some non-essentials. Let's talk poetry, prose, music, and LIFE! If ever there was a time to embrace the simplicity of each moment, to notice the organic intricacies of everyday life, and to experience the joy of shared beauty, it is now. Artificial intelligence clicks at our heels, the world is redefining what it means to be human, and at every turn terror seems to be breathing down our backs. Life is too precious to abdicate our humanness to the technological bluff. So, please, contribute a word of cheer or a favorite quote, poem or musical review. I'm listening....
