Just when you’d begun to feel you could rely on summer

Uggh. Fall is in the air here and I feel so depressed when I look back on the summer I should have had and compare it to the one I got. I’m not ready for fall this year…

Just when you’d begun to feel
You could rely on the summer,
That each morning would deliver
The same mourning dove singing
From his station on the phone pole,
The same smell of bacon frying
Somewhere in the neighborhood,
The same sun burning off
The coastal fog by noon,
When you could reward yourself
For a good morning’s work
With lunch at the same little seaside cafe
With its shaded deck and iced tea,
The day’s routine finally down
Like an old song with minor variations,
There comes that morning when the light
Tilts ever so slightly on its track,
A cool gust out of nowhere
Whirlwinds a litter of dead grass
Across the sidewalk, the swimsuits
Are piled on the sale table,
And the back of your hand,
Which you thought you knew,
Has begun to look like an old leaf.
Or the back of someone else’s hand.

von René Cassien
Der vorhergehende Beitrag – Sehnsucht nach dem “Starken Mann”– wurde durch Dirk Neu kommentiert und er spricht in diesem Kommentar ein grundsätzliches und bedeutendes Dilemma der Menschheit an, zumindest der Menschheit, die der sog. Westlichen Hemisphäre zugeordnet werden kann.
Ich zitiere Dirk Neu, der wiederum dankens- und bemerkenswerter Weise längere Textpassagen von dem russischen Philosphen Nikolai Alexandrowitsch Berdjajew übernahm und mich dadurch inspirierte den Kommentar zu ergänzen.
Dirk Neu kommentiert:
Sie schreiben: “Somit wandeln sich Antiamerikanismus mitsamt Verschwörungsglauben in einen Alternativimperialismus. Neid auf die Machtfülle der USA treibt diese Ideologie an.”
Ich lese viel in den sozialen Netzwerken. Und es nicht einfach nur Neid gegenüber den USA, sondern auch Empörung und Erschütterung angesichts der Unmenschlichkeit und sonstiger Grausamkeiten, angezettelter Kriege etc., die gegenwärtig vor allem auch die Machtfülle der USA in der Welt hervorgerufen hat. Das dabei zumeist eine übergeordnete Zusammenhangssicht hinsichtlich des Kapitalismus nicht vorgenommen…

A morsel of gratitude for (my) Readers

One of the questions I always try to keep in the front of my mind is to ask why would anyone want to read this, and to try to find a positive answer for that. People’s time, if you bought it off them, is expensive. Someone’s going to give you eight or ten hours of their life. I want to give them something back, and I want it to be an enjoyable experience.

Google Plus haters I love you!

Google Plus haters thank you for perpetuating the myth about Google Plus being a ghost town. You’re like a guy with a tiny schwanz posting about how size doesn’t matter! Everybody knows you’re overcompensating for something…

Believe me, I used to be a hater, too! As an instructor in Content Marketing, Search Engine Marketing and Social Media at NWTC, my world was perfect until Google Plus came along. Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn were all I needed until I learned last fall that Google doesn’t index any of them. Then I got religion. And traffic. And clients. And now thanks to Google Plus, I get higher rating for the word elevation than Bono of U2! Now that’s the power of Google Plus for elevation in seo…
