Those who don’t feel this love
pulling them like a river those who don’t drink dawn like a cup of spring water
the poetess

Zeitgeist
“Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as though nothing happened” ~ Winston Churchill Paranoid of conspiracy theories? Can’t see the wood for the trees? Try this perspective out for size, never underestimating the power of denial and the investment in ones belief system… The Read More

Grooving
vmix.fr totally rocks my trousers. Soulful, funky, deep house streaming loud, has me gettin’ down in the garden! (planting a marriage of bamboo, lavender, ceratostigma, arbutus and acanthus – ‘nother subject)
The coup is complete – have you heard the news?
Freedom next time. If you listen to the news, then it would behoove you to recognise your media’s position. This is an enlightening talk from erudite investigative journalist, John Pilger, given recently in Chicago and broadcast today on NPR – Demacracy Now, by Amy Goodman. Here’s my edit, but the full monty is here [audio:http://www.niksnexus.net/media/freedom_later-media_talk.mp3]

The Wise Dog
One day there passed by a company of cats a wise dog. And as he came near and saw that they were very intent and heeded him not, he stopped. Then there arose in the midst of the company a large, grave cat and looked upon them and said, “Brethren, pray ye; and when ye Read More

Where Everything is Music

The Fountain
Directed by Darren Aronofsky. 2006. This is a film of extra-ordinary beauty and richness (my humble opinion). Deepening layers of visual poetry and symbolism reveal themselves on each successive viewing. It plays on the inter- connectedness of the past, the present and the future. It’s about mortality and the eternal love life of the soul. Read More
Paternal Angst (or Ode to my Stepfather)
Rest in peace you fucker [look, though ignoble, this is just a public rant to get it out of my system, unto the ether, OK] his brutal strength crushed my spirit his iron fist rules made me passive aggressive his stupid love made me hate – at least him his idiot dogma though, freed my Read More
real resources – the UN and the rapacious corporation
letter to the editor: The Economist: [No, really, it’s interesting] The issue of unfulfilled promises by the United Nations, in-spite of best humanitarian intentions, misses a critical point. In the big picture, they are competing with far more powerful entities that control resources (we) might have distributed more equitably. Coca Cola, for example, are uniquely Read More
Polish pageant
On the European Union Treaty Tellingly, EU leaders coldly swatted aside a Polish request for laws on “public morality” to be exempted from the charter of fundamental rights. Given the Poles’ record of populist social conservatism, it was feared that an exemption would lead to “gays being tarred and feathered” on the streets of Warsaw, Read More

How can the boy president commute a sentence when he can’t even construct one? ~ Joseph W. Schultz thanks to Chris Case at the floatingworld for the quote of the month.
‘bin feeling adrift lately? [updated]
A new infra red digital survey of the entire sky from the Universities of Virginia and Massachusetts shows our Solar System to be at the exact nexus crossroads where two galaxies are actually joining. The Milky Way is the blue spiral, the dwarf galaxy is the red stream and our sun’s position is marked by Read More
last night
Last night the moon came dropping its clothes in the street. I took it as a sign to start singing, falling up into the bowl of sky. The bowl breaks. Everywhere is falling everywhere. Nothing else to do. Here’s the new rule: break the wineglass, and fall towards the glassblower’s breath. this is half moon Read More

Looking for the perfect CMS?
Well from my research so far, I figured the answer, like all quests for the perfect solution, doesn’t exist. But you might at least find the quest entertaining: “Content Management Systems I Would Or Wouldn’t Fuck”

A quick reminder from Kurt Vonnegut
who passed away recently: Bill Gates [who?] says, ‘Wait till you can see what your computer can become.’ But it’s you who should be doing the becoming, not the damn fool computer. What you can become is the miracle you were born to be through the work that you do.

In the center of the earth I will push aside
In the center of the earth I will push aside the emeralds so that I can see you— you like an amanuensis, with a pen of water, copying the green sprigs of plants. What a world! What deep parsley! What a ship sailing through the sweetness! And you, maybe—and me, maybe—a topaz. There’ll be no Read More

What is it, then, that does begin at the moment we are born? Fear! Fear & the child are born together. Fear is our faithful companion, our twin brother, our shadow. ~ Frederick Leboyer When we are born, we cry that we are come To this great stage of fools. ~ King Lear. yet here, Read More
