Corporation for Public Broadcasting shuts down after federal funding cuts
( L A. Times - A cogent and accurate commentary by Member - johntomas ) You recycle a common but baseless accusation that NPR and PBS have become “left-leaning,” when in reality, what’s often labeled as “bias” is simply truthful reporting on deeply troubling actions -- including Donald Trump’s sustained attacks on...

The Song I Will Not Pass Down
I dreamed a song — hush tones and haunted chords. A woman loved once, and it grew into a tree. She watered it with years, fed it her voice, slept beneath it, called the silence love. And in the final verse, she hung herself in its...

Down the rabbit hole
In Wonderland's twilight, where shadows play, Alice chased a rabbit, down a curious way. The hole yawned wide, a vortex in the ground, She tumbled in, and her world spun around. Down, down she fell, through swirling lights, A kaleidoscope of colors, a wondrous sight. The air was thick with whispers, a gentle hum, As she pierced the veil, and entered the...

Premium Member Lay Down Your Soul On Me
It meets my eyes, a vacant stare. In nakedness, it seems so bare. What more of life is there to write? Sunsets, dawn or the lovers' plight? Plethora of words prance and tease, seduce my heart, but give no ease, instead run wild, like weeds untamed- they have no form, no home or name. Blank...

(“The Particle In The Wave”, 2018, original encaustic) Down to Zero In the great equation of Life Everything eventually cancels out As it naturally balances And leaves us down to zero.

Premium Member Alice's Adventure Down The Wormhole
Early one morn, Alice spied a strange spaceship, Rocketing towards her, with a rabbit cracking a whip. In the blink of an eye, it landed beside her. Out popped the rabbit, yelling in a frenzied blur: "It's Time, It's Time, No Time to Waste;" "Space Time is Here! Let's bolt with haste." "We're off, to who knows when...

Premium Member Your life is your life, don't let it be knelt down into dark silence
Your life is your life, don't let it be knelt down into dark silence, Be vigilant for the open paths, for the lights flickering in the distance, There may not be much light, but it shines brighter than the shadows, Stay alert, for the gods will offer you chances to shine like a lost star. Recognize them, seize them,...
