Telepathic Influence and Remote Hypnosis. In books, movies and theatre, there is a long tradition of showing an evil character with the power to control minds. Normally this person seduces young women and uses undo influence to gain money that is not rightfully his, or some equally despicable set of actions, to make sure we know this person is evil.

Poem to the First Generation of People to Exist After the Death of the English Language
by Billy Collins

I’m not going to put a lot of work into this
because you won’t be able to read it anyway,
and I’ve got more important things to do
this morning, not the least of which
is to try to write a fairly decent poem
for the people who can still read English.

Who could have foreseen English finding
a place in the cemetery of dead languages?

I once imagined English placing flowers
at the tombstones of its parents, Latin and Anglo-Saxon,
but you people can actually visit its grave
on a Sunday afternoon if you still have days of the week.

I remember the story of the last speaker,
of Dalmatian being tape-recorded in his hut
as he was dying under a horse-hair blanket.
But English? English seemed for so many of us
the only true way to describe the world
as if reality itself were English
and Adam and Eve spoke it in the garden
using words like snake, apple, and perdition.

Of course, there are other words for things
but what could be better than boat,
pool, swallow (both the noun and the verb),
statuette, tractor, squiggly, surf, and underbelly?

I’m sorry.
I’ve wasted too much time on this already.
You carry on however you do
without the help of English, communicating
with dots in the air or hologram hats or whatever.
You’re just like all the ones who say
they can’t understand poetry
but at least you poor creatures have an excuse.

So I’m going to turn the page
and not think about you and your impoverishment.
Instead, I’m going to write a poem about red poppies
waving by the side of the railroad tracks,
and you people will never even know what you’re missing.

“Poem to the First Generation of People to Exist After the Death of the English Language” by Billy Collins from The Rain in Portugal. © Random House, 2016. Reprinted with permission.

It’s the birthday of the man who said, “My poetry is suburban, it’s domestic, it’s middle class, and it’s sort of unashamedly that, but I hope there’s enough imaginative play in there that it’s not simply poems about barbecuing.” That’s the poet Billy Collins (books by this author), born in New York City (1941). He was an only child. Before he even knew how to read, he would page through books and pretend that he was reading whenever his parents had company. He said, “I would say it was a fairly happy childhood. But they say he who says that is just better at repressing things.” He wrote his first poem at the age of seven when he was driving with his parents and looked out the window and saw a sailboat on the East River.
He hasn’t stopped writing poems since then. He said:
“I was a most impressionable teenager back in the days of beatnik glory, so I responded fully to Kerouac, Ginsberg, Ferlinghetti’s ‘Coney Island of the Mind’ — still a good title — Gregory Corso, and others. I was in Paris for a summer in the early sixties and hung self-consciously around the corners of the scene on the Boul Mich, as they called it. I sat at the same table with Corso and others, and I even hung around with an American girl named Ann Campbell, whom Realities magazine had called ‘The Queen of the Beatniks.’ (Let’s see … what did that make me??) But mostly I was a Catholic high school boy in the suburbs who fantasized about stealing a car and driving nonstop to Denver. I probably would have done it, but I didn’t have access to those special driving pills Neal Cassady had. Plus, there was always a test to study for, or band practice.”
Collins was named U.S. Poet Laureate in 2001 and held the title until 2003. As U.S. Poet Laureate, Collins read his poem The Names at a special joint session of the United States Congress on September 6, 2002, held to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks.[
His books include The Art of Drowning (1995), Sailing Alone Around the Room: New and Selected Poems (2001), Horoscopes for the Dead (2011), Aimless Love (2013), The Rain in Portugal (2016) and most recently, Whale Day (2020).

At Home
by Linda Gregg

Far is where I am near.
Far is where I live.
My house is in the far.
The night is still.
A dog barks from a farm.
A tiny dog not far below.
The bark is soft and small.
A lamp keeps the stars away.
If I go out there they are.

Today is the first day of spring, the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. The Earth is tilted on its axis, so as it travels around the sun each pole is sometimes tilted toward the sun and sometimes tilted away. It is this tilt that causes the seasons, as well as the shortening and lengthening of daylight hours. On this day the North and South Poles are equally distant from the sun, so we will have almost exactly the same amount of daytime as nighttime.
Emily Dickinson said: “A little Madness in the Spring / Is wholesome even for the King.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “Spring still makes spring in the mind,
When sixty years are told;
Love wakes anew this throbbing heart,
And we are never old.”
Mark Twain said, “It’s spring fever. That is what the name of it is. And when you’ve got it, you want — oh, you don’t quite know what it is you do want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!”

What Love Cannot Do
by January Gill O’Neil

It cannot save itself when it expires
like a tire’s slow leak. It cannot bring back
the greediness of youth
                                           mouth on mouth,
                                           skin on skin, that gnawing,
                                           that longing you carried
until the next time
and then there is no next time.
You never see it coming but always see it leaving.
It waits by the door, bags packed,
full of stones from your life.
                                           What it can do is mark
the distance between Point A and Point B,
which feels like a galaxy,                                     
                                           every star you ever wished upon
                                           imploding before your eyes.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time…

It’s the birthday of American writer Jack Kerouac (books by this author), Lowell, Massachusetts (1922). He is best known for his iconic Beat Generation novel, On the Road (1957), in which poetic drifter Sal Paradise knocks about the United States with his pal Dean Moriarty. In the book, Sal says:
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles.”

About writing, he said:
“You think out what actually happened, you tell friends long stories about it, you mull it over in your mind, you connect it together at leisure, then when the time comes to pay the rent again you force yourself to sit at the typewriter, or at the writing notebook, and get it over with as fast as you can,” and  “I’m only a jolly storyteller and have nothing to do with politics or schemes and my only plan is the old Chinese way of the Tao: Avoid the authorities.”

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8


(New Living Translation)

For everything there is a season,


A time for every activity under heaven.


A time to be born and a time to die.


A time to plant and a time to harvest.


A time to kill and a time to heal.


A time to tear down and a time to build up

.
A time to cry and a time to laugh.


A time to grieve and a time to dance.


A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.


A time to embrace and a time to turn away

.
A time to search and a time to quit searching

.
A time to keep and a time to throw away.


A time to tear and a time to mend.


A time to be quiet and a time to speak

.
A time to love and a time to hate

.
A time for war and a time for peace.

Archangel Haniel

angelHaniel

The other thing I want you to know is that everything your Guardian Angel has planned for you is significant and important. You don’t have to work for the Ministry, or be someone who does big things in life to deserve your Angel’s love.

Everything that your Guardian Angel has in mind for you is extremely important.

And you probably didn’t realize you inherited this Angelic Plan since the day you were born… yet you don’t sense or see any of it. You know this to be true Jeanne Poland, because deep within yourself, you know you are destined for greatness. You know there is more to your life than what you are experiencing right now.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Jeremiah 29:11


But like many others before you, you believed to find this great plan of yours through some huge vision that comes to you as a dream in the middle of a night… or even revealed through a near-death experience.

And because of these misconceptions, you continue to sit on the fence, waiting for miracles to happen. And when they failed to manifest, you became jaded and skeptical, only to distance yourself further from your Guardian Angel.

In other words, Jeanne Poland, you should never had to deal with the difficulties and financial stresses that are following you if only you knew and acted on your your Angelic Plan for Abundance. But instead, you deviated from this path.

It is for this reason, your Guardian Angel so enthusiastically had me interpret this Message for you…
“Follow The Path And You’ll Find Happiness”
— Your Guardian Angel, Haniel
Before I reveal details about your message, I want to first reveal who your Guardian Angel is.

As you should already know by now, your Guardian Angel is:
“Archangel Haniel”

Bible scripture according to this name: Proverb 16:9
“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
Latin name: Liberum Arbitrium
Meaning: Free Will
Imaginative and emotional, Archangel Haniel is the embodiment of womanly intuition and imagination. She is a strongly feminine angel that is tied to the Netzach Sephirot, which is the emanation of God’s will that denotes the beginning of giving mankind free will. She is often associated with images of the full moon, which also happens to the best time to seek her assistance, or guidance, for extremely important matters.
No matter what your gender is though, Archangel Haniel grants all those who are born with her as a Guardian Angel a special sense of intuition and the potential for a very strong imagination. These two gifts are seen as excellent examples of free will, which flourish when the mind is unbound and undirected. She is also seen as the embodiment of emotions, which are also seen as a defining trait for mankind. The full moon is a perfect icon for her as it has been a great source of inspiration for mankind’s imagination, and is a strong image that can evoke many different emotions.
My Friend, to embrace and be guided by Haniel, let your imagination run free as you envision having a conversation with her, in which you beseech her for guidance, or assistance. Keep your mind open though, because it is not uncommon to receive her answer in an imaginative way.

The German astronomer Johannes Kepler discovered the third law of planetary motion on this date in 1618. Before Kepler, Copernicus had come up with three basic theories: one, that planets have a circular orbit; two, that the sun is the center of the orbit; and three, that a planet’s speed is constant. Kepler’s three laws fine-tuned the theories of Copernicus.
By 1609, Kepler had come up with two laws based on his study of the work of 16th-century Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe. The first is sometimes known as the Law of Ellipses. It states that planets follow an elliptical path around the sun — not circular, as Copernicus had thought, and the sun is not in the center of the ellipse but at a focal point.
Kepler’s second law is the Law of Equal Areas. Unlike Copernicus’s theory, he determined that the speed at which a planet moves through space is not constant: a planet moves faster when it’s nearer the sun, and it slows down when it’s in the farthest reaches of its orbit, due to the effect of the sun’s gravitational pull. But Kepler figured out that if he drew an imaginary line from the center of a planet to the center of the sun, it would sweep across equivalent total areas in equivalent periods of time.
Kepler’s third law, which he discovered on this date, is known as the Law of Harmonies. While his first and second laws describe the motion of individual planets, the Law of Harmonies compares the motion of different planets. Kepler discovered that the square of a planet’s orbital period is directly proportional to the cube of its average distance from the sun, and the ratio is almost exactly the same for every planet in our solar system.

sent me these yesterday – pics of some spreads of Calligraph, the journal of the Society for Calligraphy, Southern California. I am amazed and honoured to have my beach calligraphy given both front and back cover! Then there’s another 10 pages on the inside, but I have to say that what I actually feel most proud of is that Calligraph masthead. The beach calligraphy is unusual so it always gets some attention but the masthead is something I consider a feather in my cap…

when South Africa comes to California…
