It is about mental illness/depression and Abraham Lincoln. I will check out the book you talked about. Sounds really good. If you're interested, I also found the most beautiful book on the subject by a wonderful writer: "Where the Roots Reach for Water" by Jeffery Smith.<BR/>All the best from Philly.

I remember those early sessions when I would just mouth a sound, so afraid to really give it voice, my throat tight and aching. And then, years later, how my voice would move out of me, no longer afraid, finding where it wanted to go.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867837928385616486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36154333.post-14355825652668490682008-11-11T23:01:00.000-08:002008-11-11T23:01:00.000-08:00Great work.Great work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36154333.post-64154922899428013602008-07-18T18:27:00.000-07:002008-07-18T18:27:00.000-07:00Dear Corey:Hello.

Brown's work, cobbling together the fragments of history and literature to waken us to the present: "trying to stay alive in history: improvising a raft after shipwreck, out of whatever materials are available: bits of books, the fragments we shore up against our ruin." Alone, we drown in the tidal surges.

I recently found the work of a poet, teacher and philosopher as I followed a series of links on the internet. He was John O'Donohue and might have modeled the fluidity of movement between the solo private space and the interactive, co-creating space. Sadly, he just died. Please visit his website at http://www.jodonohue.com/<BR/><BR/>Here is a blessing from his recent book "To Bless the Space Between Us."<BR/>-------------<BR/>For the Artist at the Start of the Day<BR/><BR/>May morning be astir with the harvest of night;<BR/>Your mind quickening to the eros of a new question,<BR/>Your eyes seduced by some unintended glimpse<BR/>That cut right through the surface to a source.<BR/><BR/>May this be a morning of innocent beginning,<BR/>When the gift within you slips clear<BR/>Of the sticky web of the personal<BR/>With its hurt and its hauntings,<BR/>And fixed fortress corners,<BR/><BR/>A morning when you become a pure vessel<BR/>For what wants to ascent from silence,<BR/><BR/>May your imagination know<BR/>The grace of perfect danger,<BR/><BR/>To reach beyond imitation,<BR/>And the wheel of repetition,<BR/><BR/>Deep into the call of all<BR/>The unfinished and unsolved<BR/><BR/>Until the veil of the unknown yields<BR/>And something original begins<BR/>To stir toward your senses<BR/>And grow stronger in your heart<BR/><BR/>In order to come to birth<BR/>In a clean line of form,<BR/>A rhythm not yet heard,<BR/>That calls space to<BR/>A different shape.<BR/><BR/>May it be its own force field<BR/>And dwell uniquely<BR/>Between the heart and the light<BR/><BR/>To surprise the hungry eye<BR/>By how deftly it fits<BR/>About its secret loss.<BR/>-----------------<BR/><BR/>And here is my contribution to "Once I Was..."<BR/><BR/>Once I was stubborn, riding with my fear<BR/>Now I am in overdrive looking for the right exit<BR/><BR/>Once I was an innocent believing in happy ever after<BR/>Now I find happiness under rocks, beside dying friends, in the sudden smile hidden in the eyes of my wife<BR/><BR/>Once I was afraid of older men<BR/>Now I stare, mesmerized by the choice they make to pull pants over a burgeoning belly or hang below with cuffs dragging on the ground like their teenage daughter<BR/><BR/>Once I was a golden leaf<BR/>Now I am a footprintBettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867837928385616486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36154333.post-15407316160799230322008-01-15T19:54:00.000-08:002008-01-15T19:54:00.000-08:00Hi Corey,I liked the story about Tangiers and the ...Hi Corey,<BR/>I liked the story about Tangiers and the fantasy house you created from your youth.<BR/><BR/>I love the coral photographs you have, and deep light is a great shot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36154333.post-38234432156212133842007-12-08T10:31:00.000-08:002007-12-08T10:31:00.000-08:00Corey, your evocative reflection on hands took me ...Corey, your evocative reflection on hands took me back a lifetime to my father and grandfathers. My mother's father was a craftsman with a woodshop. He used to make me intricate Roman and medieval weapons, slings, catapults, ... which were capable of hurling stones a long distance. He also made me several pairs of stilts over the years of my growing taller with which I learned to walk gracefully all over the neighborhood. My father and his father were house builders, having built many of the original homes in Sacramento which are still standing. They built the house I grew up in, which still,70 years later, looks brand new, no decay, heavily insulated. Not much sense of design but solid. These six pairs of hands contained so much skill. Thanks for bringing back these memories.

It's not all that different from online "bulletin boards" or "forums" but the blog form has gained notoriety through the proliferation of political and pop-cultural commentary as well as private-journal-ranting. Blogs, along with Utube, Myspace and Wikipedia represent the growing level of participation in creating web "content" by just about anybody. You no longer have to have technical expertise or a website of your own to be an an online "author." Since the quality, utility and morality of these phenomena will be determined by those who use it, I feel an obligation to participate in this experiment in communication. I hope you will all join me.corey fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088923683424065055noreply@blogger.com
