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...

Calling
Calling To the I Am Alone and on my knees In a valley filled with death's air  His gift: Freedom in an endless expanse My prison's narrow walls collapsed  I walked in green meadows  Seeing the sun Calling Inspired by a prayer from the beautiful "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor Frankl....

Premium Member Within the Whispered Wind
Within the whispered wind, bumble bees fly their syncopated figure eights. Praying mantises fall to their knees …within the whispered winds. Rich blessings float from heavenly gates and set kissing dragonflies at ease before all worldly sorrow abates. Sunday psalms sung softly in the breeze settle where the flock congregates. Hallowed ambience exudes heartsease …within the whispered wind....

Premium Member Improvising Existence
Improv is an unscripted comedy form. Starting with an idea for a sketch, actors interact with each other, making up things as they go. As one person responds to another, “No, but…” squashes spontaneity, while “Yes, and…” builds the banter, propelling witty action forward. Quick and clever dialogue promises even more to come. Then, after finding an apt ending, a brand-new sketch can begin. Our lives are...

Dweller of our heart
“The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun.” — Unseeking Seeker •••••••••••••••••••••••• At the beginning— before Satan lost his place in heaven, Man had but one thought—only the good, pure one.

To the Waters, in Faith
He promises to care to the extreme, If I'd drink from His never-drying stream— That I need no coin to purchase or strive, For He said I was made to glow and thrive. As time slithers, wants litter front and rear, And hope keeps fading with each passing year. He says I need not labour hard for bread, Yet my field yields...

The Muezzin
Before light’s encroaching Beams, across wavelengths Of glints, in between yawning Protocols of waking, The cocks strike a redundant Note. Choked by their own sensitive Yodelling spree, muted by Spittle of outstretched, moaning Clouds, frayed and piqued by The lusts of flying machines, Hours stretch on rubber’s speed. The rain is a common spiv, holding On the crests of soaking waves Upon night’s purloined Sleep. On the roof, the rain pelts With...

Annual Hymns
Sisters of the grey night, Assemble on the chest of the hill. The heavens enjoy seeing your wild gowns billow along When the winds hiss with humble pride, And when your restless lips murmur praises To the Most High — In elevated voices and strength. Remember the summons and hasten Towards the crest of the hill. Curse the viper’s mouth and spit upon its...
