Give Me 60- A Writing Exercise (Short Story) - 12/23/2011 6:49:19 AM
Whew, that was a close one, hope you can write more about these provocative subjects. Yes, more is sometimes... :)
Stay or Go-Micro Fiction (Short Story) - 6/8/2011 2:11:38 PM
Hello Dan, nice to 'meet' you. You are certainly good at the micro fiction. I love writing it, too, but tend more towards the flash fiction. I commend you -- you have a real knack!
Hugs to you,
CJ

We do live in an insane world, Dan. Well stated. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

This Just In (Short Story) - 12/14/2010 11:34:45 AM
So much truth in this work of humor Dan. We have been unrepresented and misrepresented by the career politicos we elected to office in government. However, we shall overcome this nightmare and our nation will once again shine as the beacon of freedom and democracy. There are too many Americans aware and now outraged to not see massive changes taking place in Washington and state governments across our land. Never again must we permit our own complacency to bring us to the verge of financial ruin and looking on as our freedoms are dashed with politico's greedy pens. I bid you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

Sticking My Neck Out (Short Story) - 11/24/2010 5:55:11 PM
Poor Thom, they have played him for a turkey again! When will he ever learn? He always seems to lose his head this time of year. It must be a man made phenomena! Six pounds Dan? That's it? Just six pounds? I lost nine and gained ten in six weeks. I have it back to normal again thank goodness. I have been rock solid with my weight control for all of my adult life until this little episode. Hope it is not an omen. At my age weight control is not a problem I relish the thought of. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family my dear friend. I bid you love and peace. Jon Michael

Interesting writing, Mr.Johnson. I think it would get more exposure had you placed it into the poetry section and declared it a prose. Very nicely written.

The Art of Being Preoccupied and how it could lead the ruining of America (Article) - 10/9/2011 5:06:52 PM
Dan, while I will defend your right to express your opinion on this issue to the death, we are miles apart philosophically as to the root cause of our nation's malaise my dear friend -- the politicos are pulling the strings at every level and their propaganda machine just keeps repeating the same factually challenged rhetoric and spin to divide us as a nation and as a people -- we, you and I can resolve our differences as long as the politicos can be kept out of the fray -- they seek to overthrow our democracy by dividing us with their lies to concur us and turn our nation into a European Socialist style state -- overthrow of the middle-class was their initial goal and they have almost succeeded -- next it is the wealthy who are their targets -- we must resist by uniting in peaceful accord, not unruly union thug led protests which they want to become violent -- the media is the worst source in America for truth -- I bid you love and peace my dear friend -- Jon Michael
The Art of Being Preoccupied and how it could lead the ruining of America (Article) - 10/8/2011 3:07:24 AM

I think often hypnosis happens without being openly open. Fritos corn chips would agree. Well done. Patrick
On Being Hypnotized-An Essay (Article) - 9/16/2010 5:57:13 PM
Dan. Snap! I think your article is thought provoking as Regis eludes to. I am however convinced that everyone would have to be a most willing participant. Yet even more important, of a special personality type to be hypnotized. My experience indicates that it is the person being hypnotized that performs the actual transformation. I have always remained an obstinate and unwilling participant for those events. I like your story and respect your views my dear friend. May peace and love be always with you. You are becoming very sleepy. No, nix that. Jon Michael

How are we to know the truth? Essay (Article) - 8/9/2010 3:13:05 AM
My first visit to S. Calif. was back in 1954. You described it well. It was a simpler time. But do not search for truth among politicans, Dan. You will develop a sour face. Sort of like Charles Coburn. Thanks, Ed.
Being open to diversity (Article) - 6/8/2010 4:16:15 PM
I find your essay very beautifull, succint, and extremely endearing and sincere....It is true we must struggle to transcend the bigotries and negative biases either inherited from our folks, the media, or some other social entity....in my book I have a similiar chapter (smile) A Tale of Two Cities: Distinct but Similiar where I compare my life and that of the late Allen Ginsberg and ultimately make the case for building upon our similarities rather than passively allowing our differenes to divide us....goood job for Johnson
Being open to diversity (Article) - 6/7/2010 3:50:25 PM
thought provoking read
Being open to diversity (Article) - 5/29/2010 3:08:12 PM
"who you are is where you were when" -- those are the words and thoughts on how our personalities develop as taught by a university professor from I believe, Utah,(this is testing my memory a bit) Morris Massey -- professor Massey said that we are all made people, value programmed, by the age of eight unless we subsequently experience a significant emotional event, death of a loved one, win a great prize of notoriety, etc. -- either a positive or negative event, after the age of eight -- so all of our exposure, our environment in the first eight years of our life determine our fears, prejudices, religious beliefs, our values -- these are our value programming years -- a powerful thought when you analyze, "who you are, is where you were when" -- good article D.L. -- thanks for sharing -- diversity is often confused when there are conflicting principles or beliefs, cognitive dissonance -- may peace and love be always with you my friend -- Jon Michael

Being open to diversity (Article) - 5/28/2010 1:20:03 PM
OUTstanding! On this day if history is to be celebrated, Celebrate as coming out, Dan. It's a public roster and you're on it as speaking out. The importance of this article Being open to diversity is so significant in contemporary society. Here evolves a coherence toward the betterment of society. Out of struggle emerges a strong opinion geared toward opening minds through diversity that reach beyond the narrow confines of time and place. This article is highly elemental and moves off the page in so that it may go into collective memory in ideal movement toward the community. It's a stigmata of the void, the fruitful interaction between man and man, woman and woman, man and woman, man and nature, woman and nature. A save, a salvage never to block the agenda and agency of diversity's agencies...well-written. You sum up the essence implied, Dan...good work.
Love,
Sage
Old Age (Article) - 4/27/2010 8:17:14 PM
Until I reach the point that I continually drool all over myself, and can not control my bodily functions, or think, or speak, or write clearly, I am ready for the challenges of old age, and look forward to all of its possibilities.
I like your attitude and you pretty much defined where I draw the line. Gotta admit I'm way into the sloppy stage. Most notably my typing. Patrick
Old Age (Article) - 4/25/2010 8:09:54 AM
DAN - I LIKE YOUR SUMMARY!
As I rapidly approach August 25th, this year I'll be 70. WOW! My problem has been that there is a 'Teenager' - TRAPPED inside this ole bod. "The Spirit is willing, but the Flesh is weak!"
My Dad made it to 84 - Mom to 83 - both elder (by 14 & 13 years) sisters, Adele and Rose - made it to mid-seventies - one aunt, Aunt Honey, reached 88 (she was on Dad's side).
In accordance with many published studies, I have another slight advantage - Love Crossword Puzzles - especially NYT - the harder the better. Been doing them almost 50 years now. Chess, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Cribbage, Pinochle, and even Bridge, have always been enjoyable challenges to me.
Retired in March of 2006, been working 3 days a week, Part-Time for 4 years now, and -
Love it! YEP - being your own Boss is NICE!
Lady Friend I 'dated' (snicker, snicker) for 3 years just DUMPED ME! Not to worry though, I
expected it, and already have 3 'Profiles' running again on the Net. Only now, they are on
'Senior' sites - but - I'm looking for a 'Newer Model' -
Wish me LUCK! Tom.
Old Age (Article) - 4/23/2010 4:13:44 AM
One of the things I have learned is that old age, definitely is not for the faint of heart.
Definitely Not! My poor spouse still has a very hard time accepting the fact that we will both soon be drooling as much as our mutts. (She claims I've always drooled, but I'm gonna show her this - it's just part of the aging process!)
Old Age (Article) - 4/22/2010 10:50:32 AM
I read something yesterday that true joy in living occurs when we learn to accept and live a simple life, which to me seems to happen as we age, suddenly we have relinquished the "have to" of middle age responsibilities of home, career, and family...when all that disolved for me, I finally realized the beauty of stress free and life began an amazing new experience...live long my friend.
Old Age (Article) - 4/22/2010 8:31:41 AM
Encouraging words! I love growing older. Although, it took me a year and a half to accept having entered my 40s. At 46, though, I am relishing it!

Giving notice to a few people (Article) - 11/6/2008 7:48:45 PM
Dan altho this is to say this article is in the past a few days you surely called the situation right. No offence meant but with words like these if you had run for the Presidency you might have won. Why do you think it is that only you and I can see the facts so clearly and everyone else thinks we are crazy???? Mildred Kisor

D.L,
Excellent perception of today's world. Teens especially can't seem to live withour their cellphone's. In MY day their were no cellphones to speak of, just the landline phone's. My daughter's phone travels with her where ever she goes, and so does HER daughter's. Progress? I'm not so sure.

Constant Hope (Poetry) - 5/18/2013 9:26:16 AM
Hope is the water that quenches our thirst I think.. no matter what we are hoping for... a text, a call, or just a thought to drift upon us, a memory that waits for us to acknowledge it. Yes we may miss a few stops a long the way but what does that really matter...there will be other stops... I love this piece! Thank you for sharing it, TD..)

... this kind of meditation or prayer is even more powerful than the proverbial butterfly's wings, Dan! All good on earth starts with this kind of personal centering as each of us acts out of what's in our mind and heart. We start from where we are and let the ripples spread... Good thoughts and actions here - Triple Word Score!! :) xx

The Qi in Me (Poetry) - 5/7/2013 7:11:36 AM
I really believe in the idea of “good vibes to all nations and tribes, peace and joy.”
However, we have to get out there and do some real physical work, much more than just breathe in and breathe out, to get that energy flowing.
Ron

The Qi in you, D.L. and it's positive

...so the "peace and joy"...no longer "shall be hide".

Yes, as Carol said, this was a video taken to the nth. Just enough mystery about Lester Briggs and the Silver Snake. Then Lester Briggs died and the sweet 'ol lady appeared, then disappeared, giving us (or me) thoughts of an aged and special love affair aboard the Silver Snake. Good writing. Touching.

Nice work, my friend. The Lester's of this world find it difficult to give up on the dream, even though he had given up on it before and that was what made her ride out of town in the first place. I relate somewhat. Hollywood, California. Home from work. She, and all her clothes were gone. Unlike Lester I tracked her down. Too late. I had poisoned what had been good.

Working Man Blues (Poetry) - 4/5/2013 9:18:11 AM
I always enjoyed hard work, but never had to make a living at it. My father did, and told me to get a college education. He retired at 62 with a good pension. I couldn't retire until 69 and that may have been too soon.
For some reason people look down on manual labor, although some of man's, and art's greatest achievements have been the result of hard labor (I'm thinking of Michelangelo).
Ron
Working Man Blues (Poetry) - 4/4/2013 5:30:23 PM
Dan, there is more than an ounce of truth in this rendering. The plight of the common working man is addressed with compassion. "If you don't like the job or the pay, hit the road. There are plenty others out there that I can replace you with in less than an hour". That is what the employers tell them in appreciation for all the income they make for them."a dirty no good working, working...working man". I wish you love and peace my dear fried. Jon Michael

Working Man Blues (Poetry) - 4/4/2013 5:08:35 AM
Sounds right to me, D-L - interestingly, the Sanskrit word 'worger' seems to be the root of 'worker' but also 'ogre' and 'orgy' ... no wonder we inherited a dubious status ... "Worgers of the world, unite!" probably scares even Lenin ... in the meantime, thanks for speaking out for the working, working, working man ... your poem has a real Great Depression ring to it ...
Working Man Blues (Poetry) - 4/4/2013 3:05:31 AM
Amen! I never realized how wonderful it was and how free I could feel until I was no longer a dirty no good working, working man.

Tantric-Revised (Poetry) - 3/25/2013 2:06:15 PM
Poem of many voices, ways of weaving together
many strands of people creative, business, spiritual,
and ....ordinary lives,....to make them joyful and ecstatic.
Poem that teaches us all the simple lesson.....when
we approach life with a relaxed body, peaceful mind,
and open heart...we are able to access ecstatic states
and incorporate them into our daily lives.
Experience greater success, health, deeper meaningful
relationships with community, planet, and better
understanding of our basic nature as a human being.
With warm regards Isabella.

Yes it most definitely is tantric, with all the build-up, the passion, the looks, sighs and licks and fondles. There is nothing more we can possibly do to make the sexual act more enjoyable except follow instructions herein and "wait, wait, wait!" until the time is right for both to give relief in the form of exploding passion. Damn straight, buddy.

72 Words (Poetry) - 3/15/2013 6:07:53 AM
I hear you loud and clear-as I think you said in your profile about writing-picking up the pen is just as tough sometimes as trying to explain to others why I write the way I do--I like to try and write different forms of expression in Poetry--not always accepted-well the spiritual ones don't seem to be-but what I find interesting is that the way Poetry seems to -how shall I say this...sneak up on me without warning and sometimes for me anyway I will have simply an image or a sentence and before I am done I will have a poem that others go " Whoa.." and I think well if you could have seen the process and the way my mental gymnastics went through to get to that Whoa...LOL--well done

They are multitasking. Multitaskers can read, have sex (vicariously) and find their bus stop without ever having to smile, say hello, or chat with fellow bus riders. ;-) As such they are superior people who don't need relationships, just sex and where to get off.

I see people, especially younger ones, walking into walls, posts, etc. It's downright hilarious! People don't talk anymore, nor do they write...sadly its the way of the future...will humans forget how to speak one day? Nicely done, Dan...

Wao! This is so true, I like how you described this growing epidemic so elegantly, we have become a society unaware, seems like voodoo to me lol, getting the life sucked out of us and we don't even know it. How do you even say hello? no interaction, it is very scary.

Never mind our heads down, we've had our heads up our a***s for much too long, and I'm afraid we don't have the grit to pull it out . . .

Good question, Dan.

They can't if they are looking down...
Sad state of affairs... unity and comradeship sadly
has become "me-isms" it's where we have lost the fight so
to speak in this world... from whence it used to be many decades
ago...
I am such a social creature I would disturb everyone LOL
Although I do savor my privacy, but in public I do become the
extrovert :)
Time for people to wake up and see what they are truly missing!
Humankind! Before we are left with the insensitivity of the robot
world and lose what we once had...
Excellent perception and notice of all around you...
Love and Light

Must be they intend to become coal miners, or maybe work in silver, diamonds or copper. Or maybe they expect to dig deeper.
