I am a sedulous seeker; a bohemian intellectual on a quest to free my spirit in order to find my soul.
"The term 'Bohemian' has come to be very commonly accepted in our day as the description of a certain kind of literary gypsy, no matter in what language he speaks, or what city he inhabits .... A Bohemian is simply an artist or littérateur who, consciously or unconsciously, secedes from conventionality in life and in art." (Westminster Review, 1862)
I am an avid reader and one of my favorite quotes is from the works of Gandhi:
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow and learn as if you were to live forever."
A simple message with a profound impact on human behavior. If we all could be "cultured" in this philosophy, would the world be more peaceful and compassionate? A simple message, yes, but a very difficult task to be mindful and learned.
I attend the Unitarian Church and am perhaps a mystic humanist. I enjoy rain; (good thing, if you live in Portland!), rich port, dark chocolate, finding a good bargain, art, yoga, and natural healing.
I believe if you have been blessed with a gift, you should share your talents with others who are in need, willing to learn or who need a blessing.
Who I'd like to meet: The creative, the artistic, the painters of words, anyone passionate in their beliefs, the champions of great causes, people with open minds, and anyone courageous enough to live their ideology; especially the beacon lighthouses of humanity and those that give hope to the oppressed.
I am a firm believer of the arts, a liberal arts education and the inherit knowledge of the creative process. Art transcends the human consciousness, deceives the ego and liberates the soul. Through art, life becomes frozen movements in time; immortalized eterinity. As Eckart Tolles writes in the Power of Now, "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience."
I believe the beauty between each of us is the ultimate art form; to love, to be human. "Love must be the mother of the arts, not architecture, not structure, not function. True art always involves the observer in the participatory gesture of being, or what we call love." ~Adi Da Samraj~
Poets, writers, artist, humanist, compassionate hearts and leaders, who as Dr. Angelou says, "enliven their creative voices...to try to create a love...a climate where, you belong to everybody and every body belongs to you".
~To Music by Rainer Maria Rilke~
Music: breathing of statues. Perhaps:
silence of paintings. You language where all language
ends. You time
standing vertically on the motion of mortal hearts.
Feelings for whom? O you the transformation
of feelings into what?-: into audible landscape.
You stranger: music. You heart-space
grown out of us. The deepest space in us,
which, rising above us, forces its way out,-
holy departure:
when the innermost point in us stands
outside, as the most practiced distance, as the other
side of the air:
pure,
boundless,
no longer habitable.
Translated by Stephen Mitchell
I applaud the Arts, Political Dissent, and the Protest Songs and the Rebel with a cause.
Featured Artist
"Eve of Destruction" is a protest song written by P.F. Sloan in 1965. Several artists have recorded it, but the best-known recording was by Barry McGuire.
The song is a grave warning of imminent apocalypse, and considered by some to be the epitome of a protest song. It expressed the frustrations and fears of young people in the age of the Cold War, Vietnam, the nuclear arms race, and the civil rights movement.
Political influence: "Eve of Destruction" was used as a rallying cry by supporters of the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which changed the voting age from 21 to 18. I believe this to be a crucial and educational documentary of war and social upheavel of any time in history as well.
“Political dissension is doubtless a less evil than the lethargy of despotism: but still it is a great evil, and it would be as worthy the efforts of the patriot as of the philosopher, to exclude it’s influence if possible, from social life. The good are rare enough at best. There is no reason to subdivide them by artificial lines. But whether we shall ever be able so far to perfect the principles of society as that political opinions shall, in it’s intercourse, be as inoffensive as those of philosophy, mechanics, or any other, may well be doubted.”
The 1930's was the extreme opposite of the greedy hoarding monopolies and flaunting flash of the previous decade of the "Glided Age". In this decade, the "gliding" was that of the Dust Bowl; reflections of everything parishable in the vastness of a "wasteland". Y. P. Harburg and Jay Gory revealed this plight with
Brother Can You Spare a Dime. (Harburg has said of his narrator in that play, that he isn't bitter, "He's bewildered. Here is a man who had built his faith and hope in this country. . . . Then came the crash. Now he can't accept the fact that the bubble has burst. He still believes. He still has faith. He just doesn't understand what could have happened to make everything go so wrong" (quoted in 1971, Green 69).
"It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution
before tomorrow morning." ~Henry Ford~
Well this certianly is a truism of timeless age as well.
