Memoirs of an old woman or Youngun can I tell you something (Short Story) - 3/26/2008 7:59:31 AM
Excellent!

Memoirs of an old woman or Youngun can I tell you something (Short Story) - 3/26/2008 4:11:08 AM
Believe it or not, but I grew up in a town where colored people of all hues were common as fog under our orange bridge. Our school hadn't segregation and Tom Sawyer and Uncle Tom were folklore that mean nothing but youth amusement. Black kids talking to white girls weren't linched, nor white kids talking to latinas were stabbed by latinos gangs (we had no gangs either) and the general consensus was to go truant in block to bathe in the warm bay waters. Then..somewhat all changed, rightwing christian fanatics started to talk about the inferiority of the black race, the laziness of latinos, the lack of moral of the flower-power-children, the curse of God on the gay generation, Bobby going down, Dr King going down, lies coming up, lies killing honest men and women in uniform...and the last but not the least...our complete lost of innocence. You and me should go back to the bay warm waters and take a deep again, to tell the world that not ALL innocence is dead. Georg

Memoirs of an old woman or Youngun can I tell you something (Short Story) - 3/25/2008 2:51:03 PM
Wow, I would like to spend a year in your head, then I'd write it all down and publish. Then we could both be on Oprah. I remember some of those things...though we didn't have Blacks in our town, or if we did, I never saw any until I was an adult. That was after Martin Luther King. I do remember discrimination from my grandfather because my mother married a man with Cherokee ancestry. I was too young at the time he was alive to understand his hatred or his remarks. In the work force, it was a mini-united nations, all colors all sizes so that is normal to me and as it should be. One nation. Dating and friendships was another experience with the mini-United Nations. My sympathies for your pain, but the richness of your life as you chose to live it on your terms is remarkable. Proud to call you friend. Now...can I live in your head for a year? Love, Elizabeth

On Meeting Dr. Thelma (Short Story) - 9/13/2006 8:42:37 AM
Excellent story, Mikii; very well done! (((HUGS))) and much love, your Texas friend, Karen Lynn. :D

On Meeting Dr. Thelma (Short Story) - 9/11/2006 3:09:12 PM
Good stories. Reminds me of the one about a girlfriend of mine who was married to a verbally abuse jerk. I told her she should kill him and bury him in the back yard, after another of one of her horror stories. I'd said it so often, that I had to remind everyone if he came up missing not to go near her back yard. (Unfortunately, he's still alive.) Another friend's husband was involved with a younger woman. I suggested that she send flowers to herself every week with no card saying who they were from. Drove the old boy crazy. I sent her a single rose with a card that said "Let me know when you divorce the old goat." He dropped the girlfriend and started paying more attention to his wife. Laughter is good for the soul. Elizabeth

When You Wake Up a Woman (Short Story) - 9/10/2006 2:20:24 PM
What a beautiful story. It reminded me of one of my foster mothers. Let me correct that, my FAVORITE foster mother. Mrs. Miller. She was a big hearted black woman with a sense of humor and humility as big as her heart. I loved that woman. She made that 16 year old white lost child believe that love was not just a word. Thank you for tweeking that memory.

When You Wake Up a Woman (Short Story) - 7/3/2006 4:43:39 AM
Your Auntie has raised an angel, and you are the angel. That's why she had the happy tear in her eyes. A most wonderful tribute filled with lovely sentiments! Well-done Mikii!!! Lots of love, Sandie May Angel :o)

When You Wake Up a Woman (Short Story) - 3/5/2005 1:10:33 PM

The Ideal and The Reality, Is The Future Really The Future (Article) - 12/20/2012 7:12:53 PM
It is indeed very sad that, not only does "man" not learn; we seem to be heading in the wrong direction. Thank you, Mikii. Love and best wishes to you, Regis

I Don't Want a Man Who Fears Women (Article) - 7/14/2007 8:33:52 PM
Many fine points to be read here Miiki! A well written, informative, and highly enlightening essay. Luckily, women were not held responsible for what did happen in the Garden of Eden (as written) being that the man was the head. Wholeheartedly I agree most definately with your introducton also, hopefully some day men wil once again be the Man they were created to be and pushing a woman in and to the background to stay shushed will be a thing of the past. Futhermore, it is something to be desired to look upon as a non gender God, great eye opener! Blessings and take care, From the Heart we are all united Through Love

The Ideal and The Reality, Is The Future Really The Future (Article) - 11/6/2006 8:17:41 AM
I like that last paragraph. As much as things change, so they stay the same. Good article and review. I would love to spend a day in your head. Elizabeth

Why Jesus was killed martydom as a catalyst for social/spiritual reform (Article) - 9/27/2006 3:24:55 PM
Amazing isn't it, as how broadminded Jesus was, how forgiving and how non-judgemental He was, and yet those who beat their chests in Christianity, have so little of the attributes He espoused. He was also a revolutionary. Good article Mikii. Elizabeth

Choices Mankind or Virus Plan "A" (Article) - 9/17/2006 7:23:25 PM
I think you've hit the nail square on the head. There is no vision or planning, and too much is "me and now." It will take some rare individuals with insight and wisdom to see beyond 'now'. So far, that wisdom and insight isn't showing in this next generation. Not surprising when you see who their role models are. As to those 'viruses'...masquerating as 'wholesomeness' and 'godliness'? Bring your lunch and we'll talk. (smiles) Good article. Elizabeth

I Don't Want a Man Who Fears Women (Article) - 8/9/2006 7:15:10 PM
I want to know when you are running for President!

Choices Mankind or Virus Plan "A" (Article) - 7/30/2006 10:29:19 AM
I agree with Elizabeth, Mikii. Good article. With well over six billion inhabitants in the world, we are reaching critical mass in many areas and the earth can no longer heal itself as a result of human activity. The window for making good choices is quickly closing. [[[[[[[[[hugs]]]]]]]]], Leland

Choices Mankind or Virus Plan "A" (Article) - 7/28/2006 5:06:52 PM
I sometimes wonder if it isn't too late to mutate to something good. One has to know the difference, and I don't see that "knowing" these days, and that comment after 40 years of counseling others. Then again, I think of Plato and his concern about the youth of his day. Nothing changes, we just get older and we are tired of hearing the "same old, same old." I guess if we just shovel out our own corner and make it the best it can be...and if all would do this...it would be a good world. Survival? I don't think there are many that could survive without a great deal of help and handouts hand over fist. Katrina was a test site, and so was WTC. Personally, I wish they'd just shut down the news. Good article, Mikii. I like your thinking world. Best, Elizabeth

A Spiritual Journey My Creed Discovered (Article) - 7/17/2006 9:27:41 AM
I agree with Elizabeth, Mikii. This is a good article. You can throw out a very large (I mean VERY large) portion of what passes for religion today and be closer to a wholesomeness of person and a cleanliness of character that is what you and I want as friends and neighbors (and relatives). I think you're on the right track. All the best and a big hug, Leland

A Spiritual Journey My Creed Discovered (Article) - 7/16/2006 6:16:05 AM
Good article, Mikii. In my religious abuse counseling, one of the most difficult things to help people overcome is that Jesus' message is a good one, and the "corrupt messenger" has nothing to do with God, though they act like God and insist they speak for God. The sexual abuse is especially horrific and the threat of suicide is carried lifelong by the damaged. Religious abuse goes to the very core of a soul and the damage is never really overcome, and it is rampant. Jesus had compassion, understanding, love. You don't find that with bible thumpers who interpret the Infinite with literal finite eyes and who continually see devils. It is the worst crime against spirituality and the growth of the soul there is, and right up there with Islam for stupidity. Fundamentalist "McCarthism" is at work with these "messengers." God is having a heart attack at the things done in His name. Elizabeth

Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/21/2006 2:05:41 PM
We have allowed it to happen. I used to work at the voting booths in three states. If lucky, 20% of the voting population bother to vote. We have in office, what we have worked very hard for...shows in the lack of integrity of our politicians...absolutely nothing. Now we have the religious right parading their biased and supposed moralistic values in front of everyone as truth, waving their flag of righteousness, when righteousness is the last thing they realy advocate, or any sense of fair play. A better way? If only our politicians would admit thier mistakes or lack of action without their fear of being "polically correct" or endless committees telling them yet again...stall and do nothing which seems to be the status quo. Do you suppose we are becoming cynical in our old age? ROFL A very good article.

Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/16/2006 2:26:50 PM
I don't think its so much a conspiracy as it is a consensus, of contempt, for the American People.

Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/16/2006 7:54:39 AM
"Conspiracy Generated Paranoia" flows from the lake of awareness to generate energy to the lamp of JUSTICE. This is a responsible call to the building of A COUNTRY UNDER THE LAW with OFFICERS OBEYING THE LAW and standing for JUSTICE. In gratitude and reverent admiration. Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Conspiracy Generated Paranoia (Article) - 2/16/2006 6:21:23 AM
Yes, look at what we've done to ourselves. Will Rogers once said, "Stupidity got us into this mess, stupidity can get us out." If that was only true, Mikii, we'd have a super surplus of resources for the job. Great article. I bet you get a lot of flack for writing it. Chin up. Love, Leland

Prison (Article) - 2/13/2006 10:54:46 AM
This is deep, Mikii, and dark. I have a sense I don't know the half of it, but I want to feel empathetic. I'll just let it go at that. Best, Leland

Hello American Pie (Article) - 1/7/2006 7:13:51 AM
Strong points that the government refuses to hear. We put out other fires in places that are destined to burn themselves down like a rampaging field fire. . . What amazes me is how the WORLD has seen us. A friend in Tanzania (also here at authors den --Sandie Mushi) said she could not believe the aftermath of Katrina and how AMERICA rejected its own. Poet Mikii, no truer words have you written here. We need to learn to become a nation that is part of, as the Louisville Arts Council noted in their 2004 National Arts Summit, a One World House to protect, not disrespect, each other. many blessin's, cynth'ya lewis reed

Hello American Pie (Article) - 9/8/2005 12:01:32 AM
Intelligent well researched article. America has allowed it's self to be lulled into a false sense of reality. There are many good and caring people from all walks of life but we can't pretend or overlook the fact that there are people and institutions that would like the poor, indigent, disabled and minorities to just go away. God Bless!

Hello American Pie (Article) - 9/7/2005 8:08:50 PM
Beautiful article. ~ We have seen the faces of the expendable in America.~ These people are not expendable to all of us. Today, I met some of the first to arrive in my city. Hugs were all I had to deliver at the time, but I got the feeling they meant almost as much as the other necessities they had come to pick up. I hope, as we try to get the material goods to these people, we also remember the smiles, hugs, votes... the other things they need to recover their lives.

I am Mother Earth (Poetry) - 2/15/2010 9:53:11 AM
So true and so clearly expressed feelings. Mother Earth asks Man: What have I done wrong when you attack me with all types of weapons from iron age spears to modern technology weaponry. Unfortunately man has no answer for that question and he can never and shall never have one until he scratches greed from his mind, which he cannot for some obvious reasons. Thanks dear Mikii, I missed you so much. My best reagards to Baba.

I don't know how I missed your poem, but I am so glad that I found it. Mikii, you have said so much here. Mother Earth is very angry with us. I am writing a Native American Series and my main character is always trying to tell the "white" man to stop abusing the Earth. USA would have been better off had not the English invaded this land in so many more ways than one. Yes heaving is very much Mother Earth's way of ridding the world of "humans"..Let us wake up before it is too late! Much peace, love, and light, Amber "V"

Sleepwalking In A Mindfield (Poetry) - 10/18/2009 3:24:31 AM
In Nam I had a few buddies of black persuasion by color not by attitude, cos, we were in the same boat and you don't rock the boat if you don't know how to swim in waters infested with hungry alligators. Read, see in the news reels but never encountered with a "brother" with a chip on his shoulder. Maybe the soldiers in Nam were bend on making hell and didn't have no penchant for that KKK crap, cos the black were bleeding the same stuff at the whites, and yellows and reds and...capice? Georg

As a father of three girls I never would have allowed my girls to be exploited following the dreams of pageantry. Children should be children, protected, nurtured, guided, never to be made a mirror image or any of our inner fantasies. Georg

Sleepwalking In A Mindfield (Poetry) - 10/17/2009 9:29:55 PM
A STRONG POEM, WITH PHRASES THAT DEMAND THAT ONE OPEN UP THEIR MIND AND UNDERSTAND THAT...THE ONLY ANSWER...IS GOD'S WAY. IF ONE FOLLOWS THE PATH HE SET FOR US TO TAKE...IF ONE FOLLOWS THE MAP OF HIS WORD...ONE NEED NOT WORRY. GOD ASKS A QUESTION '...KNOW IT NOT THAT YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST...?' WHEN WE REFUSE TO DO AS HE SAYS DO...THEN WE LEAVE OURSELVES OPEN FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. I SUGGEST THAT WE ARE WIDE AWAKE...DOING EXACTLY AS WE WANT TO DO, WITH WHOMEVER WE WANT TO DO IT WITH...I SUGGEST WE WAKE UP. I CAN SAY THIS BECAUSE I ONCE WAS ASLEEP...I ONCE WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE! INTERESTING AND COMMANDING WORK THAT WAS THOROUGHLY ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS YOU AND....A BELATED CONGRATULATIONS, TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND, ON 53 YEARS OF MARRIAGE...NOW THAT IS AN ACHIEVEMENT...A BLESSING INDEED! JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Oh Mikii Mikii! long time no see, welcome back and I hope for a long long time and in good health. Very emotional write you has dished for us to digest, because that's one thing one, everybody doesn't talk loudly. A brave thing to do. Thanks for being here, we missed you terribly. Georg

If I leave Before You (Poetry) - 5/26/2009 11:55:01 AM
This is so touching. Too often we dismiss the possibilities of leaving this earth before our loved ones (guilty as charged). You've made it so eloquent, that even should it happen, you'll always be together. Mary

Mikii this is well written and needed to be said a long time ago. Now that the world has gone to hell in a handbasket as my dear father would say, everyone is upset. Where was the rage when it all started, when it could have been fixed easily? I fear we have become a nation of blind fools by choice. Bobbi

The light of Myth (Poetry) - 4/7/2009 12:19:05 PM
Mikii, welcome back!!! Myth, so many of them we have been serving in the past, so many are being dished today, and you won't believe which ones they will be served in the future. Why? Because we are a humanity that wants myths, craves for myths, a humanity that put people in pedestals, and then, eats them. Georg

Hello Mikii! long time no see, hope your health as impruved so much that we can give Lambada a good try. Congratulations also for what Mrs Rosa Park started, breaking that odious mold, will crystalize when everyone says Mister President Barak Obama and spare us that "the first black President". He ain't no black, no yellow or blue, he is an American, period, because I never heard anyone say Mister white President so and so. I think, America has a few steps yet to come clean.

Mikii, why saying 50 years seems shorter than half a century? then again, you had from the begining the most deep and strong of fundament to build over a 52 story high life building. To me, you are a Queen and the man besides you must feel like a King, because he got you. Georg

Ain't no telling (Poetry) - 4/10/2008 8:40:51 PM
I so agree with what you said in so much of this. It is a pity that in this day and age that people put things before people- they spend, spend, spend, on clothes with labels and expensive things they can't afford and put on credit cards, then complain about the economy and their lack of money-they throw money at problems, have children that are like accessories who they want to make sure get everything they want, when what they really want and need is their parents time, but oh no, the parents both have to work like slaves to pay for the things the children need, round and round they go, chasing their tails, all for an ugly pocketbook with some rich fat cats designer logo on it while someone somewhere is going to the food pantry for their next meal- I know, I have been and still am, one of those people, disabled and wondering why people think objects mean more than people and the spirit. In the words of George Michael, "He must've let us all out to play, turned His back, and all God's children, crept out the back door." Bless you for writing this-oh, and for mentioning Bessie, not enough people know about her these days :) Michelle xxx

On Addiction (Poetry) - 4/7/2008 8:56:28 AM
We shared many things before. Now we share this addiction. I am glued to computer screen almost every day and every hour. I must echo the words of George Mateos.

On Addiction (Poetry) - 4/7/2008 7:19:00 AM
Not "maybe" or "just" or "only" a writer, but you are a writer. Call it a blessing or call it a curse and you do the craft of writing quite well. May the 'addiction' continue to bless you. Peace, Dan

On Addiction (Poetry) - 4/7/2008 5:04:04 AM
Nicely done.

On Addiction (Poetry) - 4/7/2008 2:55:36 AM
Only a writer? you are more than that, you are soul, words from your heart are like fireflies on summer nights, you whisper like that garrulous Mississippi hurrying from the north towards the happy sounds of New Orleans Mardi Grass, and your smiles are reflection of the happy smiles that filled Tom Sawyer with peace but, that fimly, sent Rhett Butler away. Georg

ah, yes, Mikii--you are indeed a writer

Promise Is (Poetry) - 4/1/2008 8:44:20 PM
You are soooo right, loved this, excellent poem- my best friend, who is white, has dreadlocks, and you would NOT believe what some adults say to her, (an adult version of teasing), you would think she was from outer space or something with the looks she gets and I always wonder how people become so small-minded and sad. I think it is great what you are doing by writing this for JaSira's daughter. Blessings to you, Michelle xxxxxxxxx

such pride and strength! What a beautiful thing to walk in pride knowing who you are in the world--i applaud this youngster--there is one child, a youngster in our school of 700 jr high children who has done the same--after a bit of teasing without wavering the child is left alone about the hairstyle and is quite popular.

Facing Today's Reality (Poetry) - 3/26/2008 6:18:54 AM
Dear Heart as in many things it's quality, not quantity that counts with writers. You are a writer of quality.

Facing Today's Reality (Poetry) - 3/22/2008 9:52:21 AM
This is a very profound pondering. "Facing Today's Reality" is poemization with the energy of the ichor of the author1s veins. I better leave my opinion through the lines of the acrostic "The Dame From Marianna": �The Dame From Marianna� Heavens know an Angel, I know this Dame: Oriflamme... a model social fighter, Orderly, for virtue is her life name�s Prize of mission; live pen, astute writer! Etched on the posterity will and cause, Right on to the aim � shows facts � never fails; Mentioning realities there�s no pause... Blunders of society won�t get hails! Ever warning voice; her quills stand to soar Neat on line to justice, fairness and height... Nestling equality and bright scores, Eager to see people�s Nation true might!! Torch of love, a Poet on earth�s full goal Touching clay man�s mind to ignite his soul! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> By Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU. In admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Facing Today's Reality (Poetry) - 3/22/2008 9:16:58 AM
i will concur that it really doesn't matter--i work with a young girl --one of my students--who is struggling to make sense of the world she lives in--she writes very depressing stuff but it is how she works through it all--if she is going through it--if you are feeling it--others are to--if you touch one soul--it doesn't matter--heavyness, depression, the uglier sides of life are just as valid as the love, the romance, etc...

Facing Today's Reality (Poetry) - 3/22/2008 8:28:26 AM
Does that matter? how much or how little one write? not for the bulk of your friends, colleagues. And, if any one call one word of what you write "depressing" tell that one to read my "welcome to my word" and then talk. My muse need a few days aways, she can be with you in no time. Cheer up Georg

Facing Today's Reality (Poetry) - 3/22/2008 8:27:10 AM
Oh, good grief! Who cares what others think? Most of the time, anyone who gives such criticism DOESN'T THINK beyond the alphabet, if they actually know it. The first sign of a healthy ego is having a sense of purpose and to follow YOUR dream. The only opinion that counts is your own, and the purpose for which you write. (You need new friends when old ones tear you down.) Love, Elizabeth

Mikii, Mikii, Mikii, dear writer friend, by now you should know all of us, none excluded, go through phases of what and how we write. I have not read any of your work that would make me want to go out and slash my wrists. Do you remember reading any work from Renee Rilke? Now you want talk depression, he was off the deep end. Some of my writing is a little dark and sometimes depressing, and if readers think it's too dark for their taste...too bad! It's what I wrote at the moment. The minute, we as readers start labeling writers as 'dark' 'depressing' or some other kind of labeling we've lost the value of what the writer can bring to the table. Finally, write your mind, heart and soul, and when you do that, it doesn't matter what the reader thinks. Peace, Dan

Divide and Conquer said Cesar, only if we unite, really unite, we can be the giants that walk over the oppressors...but, as we continue falling on bickering against each other... Very good said Mikii. Georg

The system was designed by the PLUTOCRATS. They also invented DEMONcracy and DEMOcracy in order to give PLUTOCRACY its Majesty. "Awakening for Sleeping Giants" glows in reality, and rings the bells of JUSTICE and Social Awareness. In admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi Bne-YEHU

I needs to go vote; otherwise I have no right to complain. Good one!

Mikii, quite a piece of writing here, but like some of my writing efforts, I think yours is 'preaching to the choir.' I sometimes wonder if we realize our form of freedom is only a couple hundred years old and we still haven't gotten it right, but that does not mean we quit. You have a strong and meaningful pen. Peace, Dan

...in these words...you remind one of choices...and the freedom granted to make them...a card...perhaps more important than Hallmark...and a count beyond...making it happen...with a vote. well done Mikii... John

My philosophy - if you don't vote, don't complain. Well said. God bless you. Kathy
