Lover of the arts, still, a believer in humanity and science; master of nothing. Going up river with my son now firmly at the bow, my brother always at the sterrn, and me, senses fully awake tucked in the middle, taking in all the beauty.

I remember being up late into the evening as a teenanger and finding this utterly bizarre American preacher on TV and thinking he was nuts. I asked myself, "I wonder what the United States will be like in 30 years?" I'm 68 now and Canadian. 51 years later America is way Beyond the "Twilight Zone."

Are these your photos, because I absolutely love them?

Just love this and the memories of lust and love in the moonlight.

I love the deep night. Always have. Between 2 and 5 am when all is silent with everyone fast asleep, but meโ€ฆ oblivious to worldly noise and nonsenseโ€ฆ Just me and the peaceful quiet with my dear, dear friendโ€ฆ the moon.

i know you think words bind us, one to another... but who do you share the moon with? for she's a language unto herself. the oldest living language, that of light and dark, and silence.

30 years ago, the poetic neurologist Oliver Sacks wrote brilliantly about so many of the questions we're reckoning with in the age of ChatGPT โ€“ questions of consciousness, AI, and our search for meaning www.themarginalian.org/2023/05/02/o...

As a Fever fan I couldn't be happier... although a sweep would be beautiful poetry.

What kind of Christianity do they practice in America when all I see is evil.

Aโ€™ja over Bonner is poetry. The only thing better would be a sweep. Canโ€™t believe Iโ€™m cheering for the Aces.

Iโ€™m sorry Zee. Iโ€™m just dumbfounded. It is beyond anything I could imagine. Such an embarrassment for Americaโ€™s military. Using American cities as training grounds for the militaryโ€ฆ There are no adults in the room. Iโ€™m sorry for you Zee. Hang in there. It can happen in Canada.

How on earth did America become so disrespected and the laughing stock of the whole planet while remaining a grave threat to all of us.

Thank you for this. Appreciated. Love the woman's game, but admit I stopped watching about a month ago. Caitlin Clark brought me to the W. The Fever in the second half of last season was the most exciting basketball I'd seen sinse watching "showtime" Lakers in the 70s. I prefer skill over braun.

I just got in. Called my brother and he said the WNBA is imploding and I haven't got a clue what happened and your post is the first one I've seen and I still don't know what's happening. Okay now, let's keep scrolling.

If this was happening in my country I'd be losing my mind. I'm flabbergasted that this, this is the most powerful country in the whole world. So dangerous too. Take good care.

Nothing to see here America. Just keep sucking on whatever pacifier suits you.

So utterly stupid. America is a plague to it's own citizens and to the rest of us on the planet. Quite happy if you build a wall on your northern border.

Every day I wake up to the plague that is the United States of America. Please go away.

Seriously cool Arthur. We're fortunate. I remember much later on listening to "Dark Star" and being dumbfounded. Still far ahead of his time, so imaginative and creative. When he passed I felt a deep loss. He reminded me of my art, my love of it and the challenges of being an artist. Cheers to you.

What a remarkable season. The Indiana Fever draft a 22 year old generational basketball talent and then it's the Fever against everyone, the league, the players, OGs, every team, some owners and WNBA legacy media and she barely plays this season and they are one win away from the final. Go Fever!

1974 I was 17. A normal, Canadian teenanger who had bought Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" LP. What did I know about anything as I laid my forearms on the stage in a packed arena when the lights went down. A capsual descended from somewhere, a door opened, steps unfolded and out walked the thin white duke.

Iโ€™m grateful I had that experience in my life.
I learned so much there. Saw clearly the difference between individualism and groupism. Enjoy the balance of both. My now 30 year old son feels his character is mostly Canadian though I see the beauty of his Japanese nature all the time. Enjoy.
