High winds, heavy rains, crashing trampolines — be prepared for spring storms
By Tim Poe, American Red Cross volunteer. Early April, a family gathering for an 81st birthday as an early spring storm rattles, patters and howls, not unlike the taps and rumbles at the windows as…

I’m reading Vinson Cunningham’s Great Expectations, about a staff member of an intelligent presidential candidate with a message of hope. Quite a contrast to today’s display of cowardice, ignorance, betrayal & obeisance to a foreign dictator from the current administration. #books #democracy #sad

Since cars are so monitor and tech happy now, they should all come with Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in the Key of Life,' which automatically plays when it senses the driver is aggressive, enraged, or terribly sad. #ThoughtsAfterNearlyGettingHitbyaTruck #Autos #Music

And, as I fear what is to come for the US and the world, and how much more brutality--like the massacres in South Korea in 1948 and 1980--will yet occur, We Do Not Part also gives a spark of light that, while authoritarians come and go, memory, humanity, and love are resilient.

The revelations are beautifully, poetically written through the images of snow, water, birds, trees, light, and shadow. The narrative unfolds the brutality of the past through remnants, letters, photographs, and memories lovingly pieced together by those who lived, remembered, and kept searching.

It is a novel about love, friendship, memory, seeking answers, uncovering what was silenced, what was snuffed out, and bringing to light the horrors and inhumanity an authoritarian government will inflict upon its people, mainly the massacres at Jeju in this case. Pt 2.

On the day after my country inaugurated an authoritarian, placing hate and ignorance at its helm, I finished reading the English translation of We Do Not Part by Han Kang, its imagery of snow, of darkness, reflecting my own environment, figuratively and literally. Pt 1.

Happy New Year. I ended 2024 and began 2025 sipping green tea, listening to the Brad Mehldau Trio, and reading Labatut's "When We Cease to Understand the World" as a winter storm tapped and exhaled on the windows.

I read Ishiguro's Nocturnes: Five Stories of Music and Nightfall, and they hit close to home. Like several characters, playing music was once my life's focus, and I have fond memories. But like some characters, there's also melancholy, as I realized I wouldn't surmount all the obstacles.

Although much of life and my outlook for the future is currently biting rather large ungulates, my order from the NYRB sale arrived. #books

I also recently read #SalmanRushdie's Knife. He is profound, honest, and insightful throughout the book. And shows how love and compassion helped him not only survive and recover as well as he has, but even counter the hate of his attempted murder.

I signed up and am finding my way. But to start, I recently read Han Kang's Human Acts and was astounded and devastated. It illustrates the cruelty of an authoritarian unleashing troops on pro-democracy protestors. But it also has elements of compassion and love, especially for those lost.
