For the Record

I have been infuriated lately with the fact that so much attention is being paid to the royal wedding and little to none to the ongoing, unfolding situation in Japan. CNN is sending 120 reporters to London (according to NPR radio news), Fox - 50, etc. while there are NO western reporters in Japan and haven't been for weeks. Cowardly, craven bastards!

Go to the Wedding
Go to the wedding
Put on your best dress
The bridegroom is waiting
To honor the guests

Go to the wedding
And cheer with the crowd
Throw rice and take pictures
As much as allowed

Go to the wedding
And merrily feast
Ignore the dire warning
That comes from the East

Go to the wedding
By land and by air
Tomorrow’s the funeral
Today we don’t care.

Sakura Video

Learning to make videos!

I just learned to make videos with Microsoft Movie Maker. I have posted the first two at Straw Into Gold. One is Easter pictures set to Gluck's "Dance of the Blessed Spirits". The second is "Cosmic Journey" set to Michael Riversong's "Big Blues in F" - a fantastic harp piece.

I am uploading the third video here because it is political. Caution - it contains graphic photos of children tragically harmed by the ongoing nuclear disaster at Chernobyl. It is simply made, but not a simple message.

To upload a flyer about the idea for Sakura - Cherry Blossom Brigade as a protest against nuclear power, go here:

I will do some cross posting. Thank you for watching!

Starting the Engine

It has been over a year since I established this blog site. During the past year, my energies have been poured into Facebook. But now I realize that much of what I post there gets "lost". So I have decided to gather up as much as I can of what I have been thinking about and responding to during the past year and posting it here.

I plan to save my other blog, Straw Into Gold, for the Waldorf/ Fairy Tale and other education related posts. Here I will bring my political views, art and music files and other assorted brainwaves. I have just started to learn to make slideshow videos and post them on YouTube, so hopefully there will be lots of links to them also.

I am very committed to maintaining consciousness of the nuclear crisis in the world today - Fukushima unfolding, Chernobyl continuing and the need to shut down all nuclear energy and nuclear weapon production in the world. I will post beautiful things and very ugly things. I will try to give fair warning for the sensitive viewer.

I am hoping that some of my dear Facebook friends will join me here in time. Perhaps some of my "Straw Into Gold" friends as well. As time goes on, I will welcome suggestions, comments, info and links to share.
