My work is a series of one-on-one interactive exhibits with no aim, but the goal of discovery. So is yours.
Today, for example.
Today, we share the experience of consideration and awareness of a human individual who lived among us and is now gone. Today you will have to work hard to avoid contact with Dr. Martin Luther King and his legacy. It is everywhere. Even in Arizona.
While he was here much of what happened to him was recorded, and many have judged him and found his life worthy.
Our children are taught about him, but what do they retain? And, like Phaedrus asked, "what is good, and what is not? Need we anyone to tell us this?"
Phaedrus was the guy who gave Socrates his poison, and that is all I know of him. Like Jesus, MLK, George Carlin, George Bush, George Washington, and hosts of others, I never met him, but the stories I have been told have shaped my mind and me.
Hopefully, much more later. Meanwhile, please consider listening to KPFK or KPFK.org.
Namaste.

While I was a student at my state school, I had lots and lots of epiphanies.
One was experienced almost daily: the "average student" and me had little in common. I was a middle-aged fat white man starved and hungry for knowledge, and "they" were, by and large, thirty year old women with kids and jobs.
George said he was a soldier so his son could keep shop, so HIS son could be an artist. Is that what has happened?
I am responding to a tweet referencing the "death of the college campus", and I agree that I have seen the same. My issue is location, location, location.
It is not just the campuses that have died--are dying--, but the society. And I have a bit to say about it.
++++++++++++++++++++
...still the scariest string of words I know: Revelation Thirty-Something: "...in the last days, knowledge will increase..." Actually, it is in Daniel, part of the Old Testament.
++++++++++++++++++++
Send me an email and I will have a reason to wrap up this thread.

I watched Dr. King speak in front of Lincoln, and felt the wrong.
When he said 'black children play with white children" I scoffed.
I was five.
...and in my little beating heart, I KNEW that I would never have black friends. That this "dream" of his was less than a hope, it was a joke. He had been propped up by communist sympathizers and was just stirring up a lot of passion that was going nowhere except maybe to kick up some trouble and burn some cars and buildings...

Are college campuses really dying?

who cares?
Behold, I stand on the threshold, and post...
Behold, I stand at the door and knock...
Math and Science, (oh, reading and writing, too) via camping, golf, running and drawing. For those who have not yet found the right path...
.......
What do you want? is the best and most dangerous path to follow.
There are times on the golf course where time slows down and things become obvious and easy. Miracles can then happen.

Northern Exposure S03 E04:
from whoever wrote this in Northern Exposure S03 E04:
"....at the subatomic level, everything is so unpredictable. It is only in magic that you gain any certainty."
