Profiting from Food Banks
Profiting from Food Banks
Before I begin I need to make one thing very clear. I am not writing this article to disparage or criticize Food Banks or the people who run them. Food Banks and the volunteers who give their time are among the heroes in our society today. They are doing everything they can to help those less fortunate than themselves. They should be applauded and recognized for all they do out of the goodness of…

Election Cycle Thoughts
Just a thought:
With the elections so close why are candidates not discussing many of the things that are important like:
What will they do to repair and build our country’s crumbling infrastructure? Roads and highways at both the federal and state level are crumbling and dangerous. Our school buildings are crumbling as are our veteran’s hospitals and other publicly owned buildings. Our…

Japan, the Beautiful 美しい日本 (travel video) from Victoria Protsenko on Vimeo.
There are dozens of travel videos named ‘A Glimpse of Japan’, ‘A Taste of Japan’, ‘Beautiful Japan’ and the like, however, ‘Japan, the Beautiful’ in fact alludes to Edward G. Seidensticker’s translation of Yasunari Kawabata's Nobel acceptance speech "Japan, The Beautiful and Myself" (美しい日本の私―その序説). In it, the famed writer quotes "Innate Spirit" by the poet-priest Dogen: "In the spring, cherry blossoms, in the summer the cuckoo. In autumn the moon, and in winter the snow, clear, cold." Kawabata claims that, though it may seem no more than a conventional representation of the four seasons, Dogen’s poem ‘transmit[s] the very essence of Japan.’ Later on, he quotes an internationally renowned scholar of art Dr. Yashiro Yukio to reinforce his point: ‘When we see the beauty of the snow, when we see the beauty of the full moon, when we see the beauty of the cherries in bloom, when in short we brush against and are awakened by the beauty of the four seasons, it is then that we think most of those close to us, and want them to share the pleasure.’ It is my hope that this video can transport you to Japan at least for a short while, and help you see why I find this country so special and inspirational.

Wake Up and Smell the Bullshit America!!!
Okay. I’m fed up with the attempts to divide this country in every way people can. The article below was posted to FaceBook with the title “Linda Sarsour Asks Muslims To Form “Jihad” Against Trump, Not To Assimilate”

FEAST OF THE INVISIBLE 2018 from Moe Clark on Vimeo.
wîhkohkêwin | FEAST OF THE INVISIBLE | ᐄᐧᐦᑯᐦᑫᐃᐧᐣ
Journey between visible and invisible worlds as animal and ancestral spirits come to life in this musical feast. Northern lights spill out from a crack in sky world as Coyote brings messages from beyond. Grandfather Bear readies for hibernation and calls on a small child to join him. Grandmother owl hunts the darkness that lives deep inside her grandchild. Drawing from indigenous creation stories, earth-based ceremonial practices and a deep desire for musical expansion, Métis artist Moe Clark ignites the stage with six musicians bringing sounds of jazz, folk, trance and traditional drum songs to life.
** October 4th | le 4 octobre @ Maison de la Culture Côte-de-neiges 7:30PM | 19h30 FREE | GRATUIT (reservations on line $2) ** November 6th | le 6 novembre @ Maison de la Culture Frontenac 7:30PM | 19h30 FREE | GRATUIT (reservations on line $2) ** December 5th | le 5 décembre @ Maison de la Culture Plateau Mont-Royal 7:30PM | 19h30 FREE | GRATUIT (reservations on line $2) **
Voyage entre les mondes visibles et invisibles alors que les esprits du règne animal et ceux des ancêtres prennent vie dans cette fête musicale. Les aurores boréales jaillissent d'une fissure dans le ciel alors que Coyote apporte des messages de l'au-delà. Grand père Ours se prépare à l'hibernation et invite un enfant à le rejoindre. Grand-mère Hibou chasse les ténèbres qui logent au plus profond de son petit-fils. S'inspirant des histoires de création autochtones, de pratiques cérémonielles terrestres et d'un profond désir d'expérimentation musicale, l'artiste Métis Moe Clark enflamme la scène avec six musiciens qui entremêlent les sons du jazz, du folk, de la transe et des chants traditionnels de teweikan (tambour).

Time to Raise A Little Hell?
Time to Raise A Little Hell?
A few years back, during the 2016 Presidential election campaign, it occurred to me that the leaders of the two dominant (Democrat and Republican) parties were pulling a quickie on us, the American people. Call me crazy, but it had seemed to me for quite a few years that we were devolving into a corporate controlled society. No more republic, as we had originally been established as. Special…

Thoughts on Addictions and Public Perception
From The Free Thought Project’s Facebook page
I came across the attached image today on the Free Thought Project’s Facebook page. The variety of reactions to it were pretty amazing. Lots of LOLs. Several WOWs. For the most part all people were acknowledging was that the two figures in the bottom image were gross and out of control. The sad thing? That was not where I was going by sharing it. Not…

Father's Day 2017
Father’s Day 2017
At 70 years of age both my fathers are gone. Yeah, both my fathers.
I got lucky. I was adopted within the family. So I had two fathers. Each of them showed me love in their own way. So… Richie – Thank you for supporting my mother in her decisions and standing by her through thick and thin. She told me how the depressions after I came to visit drove her crazy, so it couldn’t have been easy on you…

In 2015 May You Have Enough...
In 2015 May You Have Enough…
2014 was a pretty rough ride for an awful lot of us. As I look ahead into 2015 and all the possibilities out there for all of us, I am reminded of a story I heard a while back about “enough”. I’m not going to retell it here. You can find the version I first heard here.
Look ahead to an infinity of possibilities.
Here is what I hope you each have enough of in the coming year:
I wish you enough…

Into Eternity... from Bruce W. Berry Jr on Vimeo.
About a year and a half ago while shooting a long exposure photo, I witnessed a man commit suicide off the Ben Franklin Bridge. The experience is something that I’ll never forget. The mood was so heavy and dark that one could feel the loss of the person’s life in the air. I can only imagine what this person saw and felt the day he took his own life; what the city must have felt like and looked like to him. It was pretty hard to shoot this time-lapse without thinking about what I had witnessed.
Using Black & White Long-Exposure photography, I wanted to capture Center City Philadelphia in a darker light. Rarely when walking through the city do we look up and see the towering buildings above us. In this Time-lapse I wanted to capture what we don’t see. The last scene is where I saw the man take his own life.
I dedicate this time-lapse to him. May you forever rest in peace…

This is another post from Mrs. Grossman. EF had asked us to hold it back to see how things played out with the VA. Well, after nearly a month, it’s all still relevant. So here’s one more from a very astute Mrs. Grossman.
Eric Shinseki, the current patsy and sacrificial lamb, has been forced to fall on his sword at the altar of grandstanding politicians. This is nothing more than an effort to…
