In current science news the name of Avi Loeb, Harvard Astronomer, has got much attention on his contention that ET is out there and probably in our Milky Way galaxy. The recent entry of OUMAMUA, that cigar shaped asteroid (???) that sailed through our solar system and out very quickly,

One of my favorite little books is G. H. Palmer’s “Intimations of Immortality in the Sonnets of Shakspere” (his spelling )–This was a lecture in 1912 as part of Harvard University’s “Ingersol Lectures on Immortality,” which began in 1896, but seems to have not been continued much lately.

This statement is critically me. Existentially and bottom line — me! This blurb-post is a brief introduction to what I’ll write later in more detail. But it needs to be said now for anyone seriously reading my site. We are humans because we create structure. Perhaps the first structuring was

Well, in terms of being “flushed”– that is. Nobody is buying my books–but one person I know of. My seminary (I sent it all four books) and retired minister’s organization ( has my data ) have seemingly ignored me&my writings. Back in 2013, I sent copies of my first two

Preface — This piece is an APE — APOETESSAY– the meaning of which, as often described in my writings, is Autobiographical Poem with Essay. Meaning further, the image of me hanging from The Tree of Life by my own TALE and constant soundings of reality from the beatings of my

My “footnote” as a “long-pastured” minister. Just documenting my writings-activity in the world of spirituality/poetry. I’m not looking for anything from the UU World. Being the  me I am where I am, doing my “due” as I do — I’m a  write-off. But I was-still a UU Minister. I do

I’ll begin with a quote from W. H. Auden’s  THE ENCHAFED FLOOD, Random House, 1950  as quoted by Karl Shapiro in his PROSE KEYS TO MODERN POETRY, Harper Row, 1962–p. 202: “We live in a new age in which the artist neither can have such a unique heroic importance nor

ODDIONS are Prime Numbers, meaning only divisible by 1 and themselves. I’ve called them ODDIONS to give emphasis to their “structure-order,” which I’ve displayed in every instance as a middle 1 with equal numerical sides: eg. – 5 has a 1 with two one’s on each side. Note, that I
