I decided to begin scanning some black and white pictures taken long ago. These are two of my cousins, Bonnie and Ileah.

Walked 4 blocks from the crib today, set up shop in a café and set to work on a response regarding the relationship between capitalism and slavery. What follows is finishing up a presentation on Trotsky’s “History of the Russian Revolution, (Book II). I finally feel like I’m getting into the flow of things.

Even I am not immune!

Looking out… Didn’t expect myself to stare back.

We need you
Children lose hope
Parents eyes hold no light
The time is here
Seeds sown long ago in glass filled streets
Stretch up higher than skyscrapers
Searching for a sliver of sunlight
Shaking off a slight case of urban blight
Beautiful
Viewed by others through broken mirrors
Seeing only scars and sin
In truth all they know is [...]

A wonderful time reacquainting myself with the met… Not bad for a rainy Wednesday!
