A Thread of No Particular Importance
I sit here quietly tonight, and I am at peace. Oh, I see the Great Dying racing towards us in a wave of death, like a black penciled line on the horizon. And I hear the pathetic mantras of those who seek to save the appearances in the desperation of their hope-n-change. But I am at peace.
Like Thomas Buddenbrook in his garden when, his hopes dashed, he picks up Schopenhauer and reads “On Death and Its Relation to the Indestructibility of Our Nature”…
Like the White Rose Society in Hitler’s Germany, as they wait for the Gestapo to fetch them for judgment and the piano wire nooses…
Like the Last Men on Neptune when they seek to disperse the human seed throughout the galaxy as the Sun turns super-nova on them…
Tonight I am at peace…

Late this afternoon, I was driving in my car and listening to the local Pacifica radio station (yeah, I know), which plays blues and R&B on the weekends; and one artist--whose name I didn't catch--did a cover version of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come":
There have been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long time, but I know
A change is gonna come, oh yes it will
And I found myself thinking what a beautiful song that is. Be at peace; it's been a long time coming, but a change is gonna come. Oh yes it will.

Pacifica's Amy Goodman with Democracy Now, special music by Leela James, A Change is Gonna Come.
Joaquin you seem to carry such a load. Intelligence and foresight carries a large responsibility, but it doesn’t have to be all on your shoulders brother. We are all in this together!
I appreciate this post!
Swerdloc Blues and R&B….okay, some jazz and some old rock ‘n roll.
What I appreciate in music is the heart and soul put into it. Unknown and semi-unknown back in the day of Woodstock, such as Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin and yes the man Jimi Hendrix are just a few examples.
Joe I feel like a fossil
