cliches show the way

the great cliches show us the way

cliches of c & w, cliches of @@

eden eternity equality essence

the 4 e's possess us easily -- what you say?

slow politics of great reskilling

steady urgency of moving to groove


'Art begins where the wee bit begins,'

replied Bryulov, indicating with these words

just what is most characteristic of art.

The remark is true of all the arts,

but its justice is particularly noticeable

in the performance of music. from Tolstoy in What is Art?


In terms of The Great Transition

to sustainable echo-living in localities

the joyous science of Groovology

has many processes to explore

disciplines to integrate

many false tech fixes to deplore


and one important strategic goal to accomplish

helping infants, toddlers, children everywhere

to take such delight in performance

that they can't be pacified

can't be dumbed down into hive mind

deactivated by cold evil techno-cocooning


human touch & human scale

Tolstoy & Bryulov's wee bits

Wm Blake's minute particulars

Bateson's differences that make a difference


beckon to each of us each moment


tuba mirum spargens sonum

opens every door

tolstoy on art

art is infectious & contagious
pulled in by mona lisa's smile

each painting has a hook a pull
an attraction or it misses by a mile

were you pulled in recently
when was the last time you felt hooked

a song did it a single word
or it didn't unfinished book

mystery of participation now rare
is there any there there anywhere

50 million youtube the hippie hugger
maybe he has one more hug to spare

the add lib coalition

one supporter of the crawl
sums it up as
infrastructure, education, arts
or
decline and fall

"arts" can't really be subsidized
you either do it or you don't
@ bringing out the best in the brightest
our schools seem to go from worse and worst
that leaves infrastructure
and wars have created an empty purse
printing funny money to build
could be another curse

bringing libertarians and liberals together
liberationists for women and children too
seems like such an obvious ad lib thing to do
