An excellent video about what it means to be an individual.  Does individualism even enter the realm of reality when we have already dismissed other beloved concepts (such as freedom, chivalry and even love) as products of fantasy?  Early this Memorial Day, as I honor American patriots and those that have sacrificed themselves for the ideals of this country, I would do well to examine exactly what it is they were fighting for.

I have to say: these people get it.  One of my favorite new resources for recommendations and a good belly laugh.

Effed-Up Fairy Tales: Bluebeard

Onto the Nexting

My poem The Haunted is currently available for viewing at the Washington State History Museum.  Part of the exhibit "Intertwined: A Requiem for the Trees" I sought to capture the feeling of a haunted wood.  Not a forest haunted by human ghosts, but a city haunted by the ghosts of trees that have been felled.  Other superb artists have added to the narrative of loss and hope for our future.  We will always see you as you are, not as you are now, dear Kopachuck.

Now I must decide if and when there is to be another writer's meeting.  Perhaps a few trial runs are the ticket.  But then how to get the word out to a wider group of artists?
