One day, I will get around to aligning my thoughts and reality to this piece of music in more than casual manner. Until then, it remains serenely unchallenged in its place as my favorite classical arrangement. I have always called it my “Autistic Anthem”, Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings, Op. 11, as conducted by Bernstein:
Everyone thinks I am unreasonable and too sharp when I turn on someone. Let this be the evidence that I hold far worse and beyond that, I will not speak. But to vouch this? Some small bit of speech more…. I let the entire bad faith semantics thing drift on down the river in reality. […]

I wonder what will happen when the world realizes humans are under existential threat well above and beyond that brought upon ourselves by predatory disinterest in our own biosphere’s health and well-being. Most countries are disproportionately composed of the aging and elderly; in almost every instance, devalued and shunted aside once they become unable to […]
When I was in kindergarten, or perhaps it was the first grade, they took us on a trip to The Swan House. While there, they asked us if we could figure out why the clear crystals put out rainbow colors. I said that you can see the light being split on the edges. They were […]

Women were the first targets of chattel culture. The marriage contract as an item of state and church authority over the petitioners was a provision giving the husband […]
