GOING PUBLIC 10.14.16 - "Excision," by kayemnic Recorded with permission of the author Original found here: www.kayemnic.com/?p=299

Wow. This piece. I must have read it years back. And at the time, it slid right through me. Cool piece, but not for me, not then. But life has a funny way of bring things back around just as you're ready for them, just as you need them.

This piece. A "better you." All you have to do is peel it all away, right? Cut down to the bone, strip off the old, make way for the new. But what happens when you step out of that old skin, and (at least initially) find that there is nothing left? What indeed.

I have this perfect image of the last scene...the bed, the picture - no obstructions. Nothing there at all.

GOING PUBLIC 6.10.16 - "Crepuscule," by e e cummings from Eight Harvard Poets

You know, I really shouldn't attempt to record Cummings' poetry...it's such a visual experience, but I just couldn't help myself. Most of his work isn't available for GP use, so finding one creating a temptation I couldn't resist.

Here is the original text...

I will wade out

till my thighs are steeped in burn-

ing flowers I will take the sun in my mouth and leap into the ripe air Alive with closed eyes to dash against darkness in the sleeping curves of my body Shall enter fingers of smooth mastery with chasteness of sea-girls Will I complete the mystery of my flesh I will rise After a thousand years lipping flowers And set my teeth in the silver of the moon

this track, or poem was made with the intention to make people to focus more on love and on what love is truly is; that love is a very special thing and being too, and that is a to be honored, recognized and respected; further that is to be cherish and not to let perish. And, most importantly, to let the world know that LOVE is GOD, for he is MR. LOVE HIMSELF. In short, it was and is made to relax your and our minds with the sweet words of love with love always and so enjoy and bon appetite. shalom

Episode 2: The Man in the Bell, by William Maginn ----- Back again, with an awful little story from the bad old days of Blackwood's Magazine. This rough-hewn gem that influenced Edgar Allen Poe - and if you're familiar with Poe's work, you'll see just how deep it cut.

I hope you enjoy it. I seem to be doing rather better these days, and am cautiously optimistic about carrying on. Let me know, won't you? therealadrianward.com/

Book 18 Chapter 7 of Tom Jones.

This is part of an ongoing project in which I will record and post one chapter per week of Henry Fielding's Tom Jones over the course of four years.

In this chapter, we discover the shocking truth of Tom's parentage!

I won't spoil it in the description.
